Merry Christmas Eve!

It's hard to believe that Christmas is really tomorrow. The weather has turned yucky here, although, thankfully, not as horrible as it is in the Northern part of the country. I pray that everyone who is travelling arrives to their destinations safely.

Our hallway neighbor, Maggie, left presents for Madison and I the other day, so I put them under our tree. Madison was so excited that she decided to try and open hers early. It was a hoot! I wish now that I had videotaped it instead of taking pictures because I was laughing so hard. Thank you Maggie for Madison's presents (shaker balls and catnip)--she's been enjoying them immensely!

I hope each of you has a wonderful Christmas and are able to spend it with the ones you love!

Hellllooooo Vacation!

After completely keeling over yesterday from the exhaustion of the last couple of weeks, I'm finally up and at 'em to finalize everything for Christmas. Can you believe it's only a few days away?!

Today I'm meeting my friend Adrienne for lunch at our local hang-out. It feels like I haven't talked to her in years, so I'm really glad that we're able to get together before the craziness begins.

Tomorrow we celebrate Christmas after church with my grandparents, aunt, cousins and their children, my niece, sister, and her boyfriend. (I'm sure I've left someone out, but I think that's everyone.)

Then, on Christmas Eve, I'll go to my grandparent's house and hang out with them, my aunt, and my cousins until I can't keep my eyes open.

Christmas Day, I'll go back to my parent's house and celebrate with my parents, my step-brother and his fiance, my step-sister, and possibly my other set of grandparents.

Then, I have a day's rest before my aunt and I head to Disney through New Year's! (We are now owner's of annual passes, so we're going to scope everything out and then head back periodically throughout the year.)

After that, I'll have a couple of days to get everything in order at home before I return to w-o-r-k. But, after a couple of weeks, I'll be settling in at my new school (YIPPEE)!
