So I'm kinda bummed I didn't participate in the SS (it was the right decision though...I haven't even started my shopping). I just want to say how happy it makes me seeing everyone else so happy with their gifts! I'm glad we have such a supportive and giving community here on A13!!
And I've had a bit of wine so maybe I'm just being all mushy and hormonal.
You can for sure join in next year. In fact, I was thinking we could do a birthday version of a secret Santa in August. Everyone buy a birthday gift for someone else. What does everyone think?
Eta: just to clarify, birthday gifts for our LOs (H was confused when I tried to explain).
I'm sorry SS that it's taken a few days to post my thank you but Eli and I love love the baby signs book and the amber teething bracelet! Here's a pic of E rocking it on his ankle. I don't know who you are, but thank you thank you thank you!!!
thank you for Kylers great presents! He's been playing with and chewing on the blocks all morning! He loves them.. I still have to use the process of elimination to find out who you are
*raises hand. It was Eli and I. We had so much fun picking out your gifts! I was in such a hurry to make sure I mailed it in time that I forgot your card!
@julianndelaney THANK YOU so much! My heart just melted when I opened the box. Liam loves his new books and onesies. He was so busy playing with his books it took forever to get this pic. You are too sweet! Did you make the onesies yourself? Liam said to tell JT thanks and that he has one awesome Mommy!
SS: Thank you! I'm still not sure who you are. M loves his hockey gear. Just in time for the Canucks to take on the Bruins tonight. ETA: it won't let me upload the rest of the pics. It's a cute onesie w the logo and hockey skates

Yay! I'm so glad you got the package on time!! I did make the onesies ! I tried to take some of the things on your wish list but out our own little twist!! We had so much fun shopping and making stuff for Liam! I'm so happy you guys love them!!!
I have to get a pic up but I had to get in here and say a very special thank you to our secret Santa. DH was pissed I did this because he said - you know you are just going to get Christmas items (we are Jewish). We our SS proved him wrong! We got two great Hanukkah books (one being curious George - which I love!), a beautiful blanket (DH loves blankets!) and dreidels - could have been a more perfect gift! Thank you - wish I knew who you were because everything was perfect - especially the words of wisdom card. I'll post pics when I get my computer. Thank you again!

Thank you to our SS. It has been so crazy I haven't been able to get on much bit I'll post a picture soon. My two year old dd is so excited that Maddie has a puppy just like her and they can play with them together. (She actually has the boy version ).
Thank you so much @hauntedradio,for the awesome baby toys. Savannah is already quite fond of Gerry the giraffe. She loves toys that make sounds. This momma here is also grateful for the mug of Starbucks goodies. I plan to take it with us on our next hospital stay. The hospital is huge and it's a long walk to the Starbucks downstairs. Knowing my luck they'll be closed on new year's day anyway. Thanks again Amanda and Elias! Merry Christmas!

Thanks! I'm so glad to know who my secret Santa is!
My neighbor just delivered the box from my Secret Santa! Turns out it showed up yesterday when we were at the hospital with Xander. She took the box upstairs with her until she could make sure it got to us.
Thank you so much @KQuinonez!!! I was getting jelly of all the packages arriving but yours was so worth the wait!!
@WashingtonQueen I am so glad it arrived. I was worried today when you did not say anything. I am always a little late to the party so sorry you had to wait a little longer. I had so much fun and am happy you like it. It seems to me that we all got fabulous gifts and no one got screwed. Here is to the best group of mommies on the bump! <:-P
Edit: I just read this and realized my stupid phone autocorrected me once again!! I really have got to get used to that.
I haven't gotten mine. But I told my secret Santa it was ok to mail as late as Monday because we were on vacation and I was worried it would sit on my door step and go missing or get rained on. So I'm patiently waiting!!! ETA: I know it's coming!! So I think no one got screwed!
@lisarenenn thank you and savannah so much!! JT loves scout!! He won't stop hugging him and he smiles super big every time he says he's hungry!! We love him! Can't wait to personalize him and see everything he does!!
Sorry the one is upside down! But he was laughing hehe!
@zever000 and @katier2310, you Canadians are safe till at least spring. I know I for one won't be traveling up north anytime soon. It's too difficult to hide the bodies in winter. Brrrr!
