So, the blog posting has been a bit sparse lately.. actually more like non existent due to all of the wonderful Christmas hustle and bustle. A few things we've been up to:
- L Family Christmas Party
- H Family Christmas Party
- D's Work Party
- Some other parties I'm forgetting about
- Sibling choir concerts
- Hunting for some killer shopping deals
- Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert (did anyone else love the animal song?)
- Watching First Presidency's Fireside
- Christmas dates
- Baking cookies, cinnamon rolls, breads, etc...
- Dancing lessons with Andi & Aaron for the wedding (Deke has one mean foxtrot)
- Wrapping
- Decorating
- Spending time with family
- Loving every snowy second of every snowy storm
A little bit typical, but everything a Christmas season should be. We're looking forward to all of the events in the next week and a half too. And WOW! I can't believe Christmas Eve is TOMORROW!!? Holy smokes! Where did the time go? And why do I manage to procrastinate til the very end to do things? Between tonight when I get home from work and tomorrow morning I have to do the following:
- Finish up some shopping at atleast 2 different stores. Yikes.
- Wrap about 90% of my gifts which have all been stashed at my mom's (thanks mom :) )
- Go to dancing lessons
- Run some things around tonight to a bunch of people
- Tidy up my house so I don't have a clutter break down on Christmas
- Make cinnamon rolls so we can start a tradition for Christmas breakfast
- Shower
All of these things are actually enjoyable activities, but somehow I manage to stress myself out when I have to get all of them done in a small amount of time. I'm going to try really hard to not stress, which, I don't think will be that difficult because it is Christmas after all right? And the magic of Christmas should not be wasted on stress. So, here's to a holiday full of cheer, family, memories, love, and gratitude and reflection about the real reason we celebrate this special day.
Merry Christmas!
