MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!!!! We hope you had a GREAT day! We sure have! Everyone was spoiled!! and now we are waiting for Tutu to arrive so we can have dinner!!!

The kids were so EXCITED to get their DS's from us! (Santa brought them other things they wanted!) Amanda wanted to know if we could run to Toys R Us so she could get a game or 2 with her gift cards, TODAY! UM NOT TODAY! LOL! We will hopefully get out sometime tomorrow!!!

We got SNOW today! A white Christmas! Amanda was yelling and jumping up and down! It has slowed down now!! But that didnt stop her from going out in her pjs to play for a bit!!!

We hope you all have a WONDERFUL day!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!





Happy Holidays! YEAH! I am so EXCITED for the coming month! We have so much fun stuff planned!!! :) We are going to see Santa later this week, I am taking the kids on our annual shopping trip! Xmas exchanges start next week, and then BAM one week til the BIG day!!! :) It is gonna go so FAST!!! 22 days, are you READY?!!! I am almost!! I am gonna get wrapping this week! I cant WAIT!

As you can see we got our tree! YEAH! We got a bit smaller one.. it is still 8 feet tall~ but oh I miss those 9.5 footers! But since we have FURNITURE now we cant get that big! It looks so pretty!

So at 2scrappy chixs Mary challenged us to blog about the GOOD, the BAD, and the UGLY of this time of year!!! So here goes!!

My good~ the OBVIOUS! I LOVE the whole SEASON! I love to see the excitement from my kids, I LOVE to bake with them, watch all our holiday movies, decorate, visit santa, read xmas stories, take LOTS of photos, make and get xmas cards! You get it I LOVE EVERYTHING! LOL!!

My bad- oh my the STRESS it causes, for alot of people! Me included, the wanting it to be PERFECT! I know I shouldnt but I do! I want it magical! So I try to do that, and in the process sometimes overwhelm ME! TRYING to get an earlier start and do more small things each day and not save it all up for one day!

My ugly... Um.. I cant type that out! :) But it is the worst part of the holiday for me! But I get through it!

That all being said I am sure looking forward to a FUN season! WE got SNOW on saturday! YEAH! I got my xmas hat photo! it stayed until yesterday afternoon~ now we just got RAIN RAIN RAIN!!! Oh well~ I guess it is a good time to start wrapping!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
