Well, I went to bed at 8 pm last night, totally wiped out.  Fell asleep in about a minute and woke up this morning at 9 am, still groggy.  I love Christmas but am glad it only happens once a year ( Read more... )

The ham is in the fridge...it smells heavenly!  Hubby has the bread dough rising for the rolls.  Everything for Daniel is wrapped and ready to go.  I have to wrap my mom's two packages and stuff the stockings tonight after Mass and we're all set.

Oh and we baked cookies yesterday, yummy!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Christmas will soon be here!  We are planning on attending Midnight Mass this year.  We've gone two years in a row to the 10 pm Mass but this year Daniel thinks he can stay up for the later one.  I'm excited about it; growing up, my family always went to Midnight Mass.  Maybe we can come home and open ONE present afterwards ( Read more... )

We have all been busy today.  Hubby helped a friend move, then went onto Springfield to do some shopping.  Daniel and I cleaned all day.  We're all tired now.  Hubby came home and napped and Daniel and I just finished supper (eggs and sausage links, toast and bagels, grape juice and milk ( Read more... )

Daniel finally went to school today!  It was pretty foggy all night and I swear I heard something falling from the sky onto the back deck, but it was clear this morning.  There are some area schools closed but nothing in the immediate area.  He didn't want to go to school, he who was so bored yesterday LOL ( Read more... )
