We read Goodnight Moon every night for the first year. Those items are SO cute! You’re making me wish I had more money. I’ve already bought the majority of our x-mas stuff- should I be happy or sad?
Allie says
I am mostly done too- I usually end up buying some last minute things, but I am trying to be good.
Shanna says
