So much fun these days are – and they go by so fast.
The last week of school Alec stayed home a few days- he was fighting a cold but really I just wanted him to spend some time with my parents who were in town. We all spent such quality time together that I never pulled out the camera. It was hanging out playing time and running last minute errands. Special times.
In a blink of an eye the actual holidays were upon us. For some reason, this year I neglected to wrap any presents, bake any cookies and managed to leave a few things until the last minute. We wrapped 98% of the presents two night before Christmas (the other 2% were done Christmas eve). We were out buying Yankee swap presents at 4pm on Christmas eve.
This is unlike me.
Maybe I spent too much time listening to 94.9 and their 24 hour Christmas music. I really like Christmas music. Or maybe I spent too much time gazing at our tree. I really like our tree this year. A LOT. And I spent my time with my parents.
I guess my point is- I spent a lot of time doing things I enjoyed. I just didn’t bother with the other stuff.
Ya know what?
It all worked out.
I did manage to complete a few things…mostly on Christmas Eve. ;)
Reindeer dust for our friends!
Possibly a new tradition? Breakfast with the Knox’s on Christmas Eve. It was also the unveiling of the glitter t-shirt. (although we don’t actually have any pictures of the back with his name in glitter) Oh-my.
24 weeks and lookin’ good! (there was a gender reveal on Christmas morning...they are having another boy! Yay!)
A Christmas Eve delivery to the Todd house. We missed Faye’s birthday party the day before and wanted to make sure she got her birthday present and, of course, their t-shirts too!
I stayed longer than planned but a holiday beverage was offered and the children were having fun playing. :)
It was so nice to visit in relaxed atmosphere before the Christmas crazies kicked in.
