Almost there
Okay- I have almost everything wrapped. I think we have purchased all but my moms gift and something for Michael. Fingers crossed!!!! I have yet to wrap a kids gift, my grandmothers gift and some other small ones but mainly we are done!
Spent the am cleaning (well dh and kids did- I wrapped and worked on cds). It looks pretty decent.
Going to be in town doing christmas alone- my parents are out of town, leslie is booked with tons of people and family, so it is just us. It is silly but I haven't ever had a christmas/eve with out my parents so I am excited but also a little sad. (says the pg woman lol) I am really feeling the grown up mom suddenly with this minor tradition change and I want to do it right.
Having our overnight eggs and french toast for christmas am. Christmas eve we were given some lovely handmade cinnamon rolls- paired with eggs and sectioned citrus salad I think we are set. Not sure what we are doing for dinners- probably left over solstice soup for tomorrow night and then maybe shrimp or fish (if we have some in the freezer) for dinner on the day.
Last summer at a garage sale we bought a model train. I repaired the tracks and dh fixed the engine last night. Now that the house is a little clean we will decorate the tree and put the train under it. The kids are going to be so thrilled! I can't wait. I feel a little like we are honoring my grandpa/dad's heritage including the train.
Burning the kids cds- they take forever to do all the steps. We have even given a few away this weekend. Holiday cards are coming late- like after the new year. Maybe sent from Chicago. It is nice to hear from some people who we haven't heard from in a long while, Amy, John, my uncle Kevin, etc. Gotta a few cookie trays left to build. Biggest is gone with her father on the eve until late. Pray she doesn't have her usual post visit stress on christmas.
Windsheild wipers are working today- whew- gosh i hope it was just the ciruit breaker yesterday.
Last night when I laid on my back doing my exercise I could really feel baby. Like for the first time in a few weeks I didnt' feel just fat- I could pick out my uterus under the flab. Gosh it is high- just barely under my belly button. Need to find a pregnancy pilates i think because some of the exercises I am doing probably won't work coming up here.
hmm... guess that is it but I had so much more planned to write- oh well.
Happiest of Holidays to all of you. Much love and Many hugs sent your way.
