Holiday Planning

I have no excuses not to have my house fully ready for Christmas. I finished all of my shopping Tuesday night, so all I need to do is finish wrapping items. What a great feeling!

Over Thanksgiving Josh's mom wanted to take some pictures, and since our 5 year old nephew is so curious, he wanted to take some pictures of just us. Aren't we lucky?

Josh had to work Thanksgiving day, so I spent the day with his side of the family. My sister in law will be thrilled to see herself as the Santa version of Mr. Potato Head. Or would she be Mrs.?

Friday Josh & I battled the crowds to go shopping. Not as many deals as I remember in the past, but there were a couple that persuaded me to drag out of bed at 5 a.m. Nothing against the people who shopped at 4 a.m., but there were no deals that great for me. We did purchase some movies, the new Guitar Hero (for my brother, he never reads any posts), tools at the farm store, and a couple of presents for me. Actually, Josh purchased a new Cricut Expressions machine for me for Christmas. It's absolutely killing me not to get it out of the box. I suppose that's why he purchased one for me with me there. It's some rare form of torture technique, I'm sure. Although, now with the new machine, I'll really have no excuses not to get fully caught up with my scrapbooks.

Only two weeks left of school. (yea!) That means a lot needs to get done. Where does the time go? I need to get back to wrapping, and get started with my baking & candy making.

Look for our Christmas cards someday soon too!
