This one's obvious: Lincoln's ability to contribute to the family's financial stability with his personal banking skills. No brainer.
Next we have this lovely NEW item from the makers of everyone's favorite Butt Paste - it's a butt protetant to PREVENT the nasty little rashes before they happen! What a grand idea! I picked me up some of this stuff, and so far, it's been great! It's best uses come when the little one has lots of poopies (from being sick, teething, or starting new foods). I recommend it. :)
Then there's dum-dums. They had to make the list because, let's face it - they've been a life saver at times when Lincoln gets bored (per say, at the DMV) or at basketball games that can be long. The great thing about these in particular is they are small enough to finished, and are in light colors so they don't make such a mess. And the great thing about all suckers is they are LONG LASTING. Love them.
Now this is a "mommy item". When it come to powder, I'm a Mac gal. When it comes to eye shadow, I'm all about Smashbox (though they discontinued my favorite). Lip gloss? Bare Minerals, Smashbox, Lancome...some of the front-runners (not so picky on this one). But when it comes to blush? NARS ALL THE WAY. Tried it about 6 years ago and have never bought another brand since.

Then there's Northface. Oh I LOVE Northface. This little number was bought by Jason back before we had kids and spent a lot of money on each other at Christmas. This year, our Christmas present to each other is a date night on Monday (which I'm super excited about). But you can bet I'll probably be wearing his present from years past because I wear it ALL THE TIME. It's super warm and I don't need a jacket. Plus, it has tons of pockets that zip which means I can basically secure all things baby and money when I'm out. Perfect.
And Christmas...how fun is this season??! What's super exciting is seeing Lincoln talking about"Santa, Frosty-the-snow-man, Baby Jesus, and Rudolph!" throughout the day as he sees images pertaining to such. And of course this super cool santa at pinnacle that looks SO real is awesome!
Another favorite in kid land is movie time. With the weather cold outside, the family has started having movie time at night every now and then where we watch Christmas movies. Lincoln LOVES it. He gets popcorn (which is on his top 10 list) but it's not pictured here cause he had already eaten it. :) The movie also must be viewed with his pillow pet, a blanket, and his hands crossed behind his head - always.
And of course the season means daddy is starting to be home more!!! Noah's loving it.
Okay - another mommy favorite. This Ole Henriksen moisturizer. Oh My. It's heavenly. I usually don't sped much on facial stuff, but I've notice the mad dash of sudden wrinkles to my face and thought I should take better care of the good ole skin. This stuff is miracles in a jar and is highly recommended by yours truly. The whole line is amazing but I don't have the budget for that. If you do - you can't go wrong.
Ha. And my energy source. I'm not a coffee drinker, but man I LOVE these.
Frozen vegetables. Yup. They made the list. I haven't found a kind my kids (either of them) don't love. They're great cause it's super fast and I can make them as mushy as needed for Noah, then eat them over the next few days.
And the sit and stand....it is not mine but my dear neighbor Amanda let me borrow it for this season in life. I love it. It saves so much time because Lincoln can come and go on it as he pleases and doesn't need to be strapped/un-strapped a thousand times. It really is a great invention if you have 2 kids close in age.
And Christmas lights! I've never appreciated them like I have this year because Lincoln LOVES them! We've strolled through neighborhood many nights on our way home the past few weeks just because it's so fun to see his eyes of wonder. He still can't say his "L's" so this is what we hear CONSTANTLY: "Mama!! Daddy!!! BIGHTS!!!!!!!!!"
And of course, my birthday/Christmas present.
Feel free to add to the list!!!!!

Melissa... you don't have to be ashamed that you went a little overboard with lights this year. Really. :) Fun list! Might have to try some of those...
That Santa is LEGIT!!!!
I have to totally agree on the Diet Rockstar. I look forward to starting my morning off each day with my Rockstar! Brandon gives me hard time about it sometimes, but I don't care a bit I am still going to drink at least one every single day.....lol! Enjoyed watching the ballgame & eating tonight with you & Lincoln, he is adorable!!
I was just thinking of my favorite things for 2010 the other day too! I love NARS..best blush ever. And, I'm with Leslie, that Santa is like the real one! :)
