Xmas in September

I never get my Christmas shopping done early. Usually on Christmas eve I'm still running around picking up a few last minute gifts. But this year is different. Thanks to my friend Maria, Sophie is getting this baby for Christmas:


I am PUMPED! I disovered this kitchen set months ago on eBay where it is ubber expensive. But by doing some detective work, I learned that every year around Halloween Costco puts it out with their Xmas stuff. Since I live is WV with the crappiest shopping this side of the Mississippi I asked Maria to keep her eyes open for it when she's in Costco picking up 2999 baby wipes and diapers. Wouldn't you know it, she called me on Sunday and said she was standing in Costco looking at it! So I can officially mark "the big gift" off Sophie's Christmas list. I already can't wait to set it up Christmas morning with fake food and pots and pans! Little Bit is going to LOVE it! Thank-you Maria, I know I owe you big time, seeing as it wouldn't fit in your car!

How fun!! That is so cute. Do you think a 2 month old baby girl is too young for one?!?! Maybe next year.

Just call me Mrs Claus! That box is pretty darn heavy, it wouldn't fit in the back of our tiny jeep at first either! Shawn had to lay down his seats!
Glad I could help!!

I love it -- very retro. If I had a kitchen like that I might actually start cooking:)

That kitchen is adorable and I know she will love it! We got Jonathan the kitchen from Target last year for Christmas and it's one of the few things he still plays with pretty much every day!

FYI, Bryan and I are members at Costco, too, so we'd be happy to look for anything if you needed help in the future...
