Did my last bit of shopping this morning and now am just putting on tags and bows!
Listening to the Gatlin Brothers Christmas "Little Drummer Boy"

Home from shopping...two hours, one store....all done!!!!!

As we leave the store Michael says to me....."do we have to wrap this stuf?" He's just too cute!!!!

Now....on to peanut butter cookies, plating stuff, and wrapping

...and YES Amy, stromboli counts. Send me some!

Going over my mom's tonite to open presents and visit. For the past 4 years we've been ordering Chinese food to be delivered, and tha't our dinner. She lives right here in town and we get to see her a lot.
My two boys always look forward to it too.

By mid-day Saturday I had all my shopping and wrapping done. A first for me! I am usually frantically wrapping gifts on Christmas eve. I was able to relax yesterday and enjoy some football (yay Pats!) and today I can sit back and relax until later when we go over my stepdaughter's house then my grandmas. No baking though...I leave that for the experts. Just called mom and she finished the cupcakes (we go to her house tomorrow), and believe me, my mom makes the best cupcakes in the world! Always a treat on Christmas day.

Grimsby!!!

No Christmas for me!

Emma had a 24 hour bug a couple days before Christmas, GUESS who got it late Christmas Eve and spent all day in bed Christmas Day! YAHHH ME!!!

And my son spent Christmas night sick! Sucky Christmas for me this year!

BUT hope all of you made it thru the crap going around and was able to stay healthy!

Awwww Gina, Sorry you all got sick. No fun at all

I'm one of those people who loves Christmas, but also loves it when
it's all over.

Yeah it is one of those stressful times that really shouldn't be stressful at all. I love the day, it's my favorite, can do without all the extra traffic and snotty people.
