I admit it, I have NO self control....This is why I don't like to shop early for Christmas! I babysat Abby on Saturday morning and she just looked so cute and was so sweet, I just had to give her this special gift I had put up for Christmas. She wanted these doggies with the carrying bag when she spotted them at the store, so her daddy told me. I got them for her to put up but gave in and made this little girl so happy! Well, I can justify it, cause I had gotten the other grand kids winter coats that I happen to find on sale at Carson's last week, so I couldn't leave her out. So, I will be going Christmas shopping the week of Christmas for my grand kids.

If it's any consulation, I did the same thing when Corbin & Madigan were her age! I'm a sucker when it comes to making those grandbabies happy. I guess because they make us so happy!
You're SUPPOSED to be a great big sucker... that's the beauty of being a grandmother! Haven't we been waiting to break all the rules!? I think that's the sweetest thing to do for that most sweetest of smiles! And I'm sure you'll do it again! (But I will admit that it is imperative to stay away from toy aisles until right before Christmas!) The temptation is just too strong... !
exactly why my husband doesn't do the Christmas shopping in our house and I hide and even wrap early! He gets so excited to give a gift he found for someone it never makes it to Christmas! Just like you! The look on her cute lil face, is worth it!

Well you could hide the presents at someone else's house so it would be more difficult to give in to temptation - but not as much fun.
I'm like that too. I want to give people their gifts as soon as I get them. I almost don't even wait to wrap them!

I love it!! That's what Mimi's are for!!
Husband and I are bad about that with each other!
