::next year::


Now that the prep time is over for Christmas, I've gotten an early start on my New Year's resolutions. I've decided that next year I will not be at the post office on the nationally proclaimed "busiest day of the year"
(I've been there on that day for the past 2 years trying to mail boxes to all my grandparents).

Next year, I'll finish ALL of my Christmas shopping the week before Christmas, not Dec. 23. I had to go to the store last night to get some last minute things (mostly stocking stuffers), and most everything was picked over and gone!!


It's been a fun season so far. The kids are SO excited about Santa (more Chloe than Port, but probably cause she's older). They try to be good so Santa will bring them some presents. We've talked about why we give presents and what Christmas is about, and Chloe understands pretty well (for a 5-year-old). It's been a little stressful this year, but also REALLY fun! I LOVE Christmas shopping and giving gifts. We have a family Christmas party today and Santa comes tonight!! We're so excited!

Merry Chirstmas to all! We love you all!!
