Now, it will finally start to feel like Christmas.
I'm done working for the year. Yay!
Nutcracker rehearsals, performances,
babysitting Matt & Lily,
date with hubby,
sugar cookies, gingerbread too.
Mark's birthday
Gingerbread house
visiting family
being together
our Anniversary
taking Rebekah back to OU
I know time's going to fly.
I know I have yet to wrap a single present.
There's much to do, not a lot of time to do it.
Moments I want to savor that I know will fly by all too quickly,
surprisingly, to me, I'm okay with all of it.
(well, to be honest, it's starting to freak me out a bit that I haven't wrapped. When am I going to find the time???)
(well, to be honest, it's starting to freak me out a bit that I haven't wrapped. When am I going to find the time???)
I am so happy, excited, peaceful, eager, anticipating, joyful...
I'm going to enjoy every minute.
(Well, not so much the taking Rebekah back, but everything else.)
Hope your holidays are filled to the brim too.
**Thinking and praying for so many of my friends who are in pain and experiencing really difficult times, I know the holidays make things feel especially acute, lonely, painful. I'm wishing you peace and comfort.

Have fun!!
I just wrapped a couple of presents last night. We have a lot to do here, too: baking, making candy, shopping. OS comes home today!
My wrapping will get done on Sunday. My kids are all going with a very good family friend to a Christmas party and i will have all day to relax and wrap.
Enjoy your time and have a very Merry Christmas.
Sneding prayers to you and yours as well.
Awesome post. Great photos! No worries...the dollar store sells gift bags cheap...and it only takes a second to drop gifts in...haha! :) Enjoy your break!
There was a time a few years back when I was as busy as you with kids of all ages. One in the navy, one away at college, one in high school, one in grade school and one at home still. I thought I would never get to the point where I had time for anything. Well time passes and kids grow up and leave the nest. Sometimes I yearn for the days when they were all here. Hang in there. I like your blog.
What great pictures of your kids. Enjoy your break and your family.
It is such a wonderful time of year, if you can manage not too stress too much. Sounds like you are doing a great job!
I hope you have a WONDERFUL week with your family. :)
Wrapping. Ugh. I got all set up the other night only to find that my 5 year old had used all of the scotch tape. I got scissors and some packing tape and made do with that!
;)
LOVE the photo collage. Enjoy this special week with your family. I hope you step back and take some mental pictures. Have a great holiday! :)
