are you ready? I so am not but I don't even care. I am just not stressing about it this year. We've cut WAY back on gifts and everything else. I'm not even making much Christmas candy this year. I've already made two batches of fudge and the only other thing I plan to do is our traditional Martha Washington candy--it's mine and Brooke's favorite.
We are doing some baking today but only cupcakes for the dance Christmas parties tonight and cookies because our elves surprised us with some cookie dough and new Christmas cookie cutters.
But back to being ready..I do have 2/3 of the kids done and everyone else on the list is taken care of except for our Dirty Santa gifts, cousins kids, my BIL, my dad and Jeff's dad.
I spent yesterday cleaning house again and I couldn't resist...I rearranged furniture in the living room AGAIN. Is there like a rehab for this or something? I think I need some serious help here! But I like it MUCH better. Much more space in here and I don't know why I didn't think of this configuration sooner.
Last night, we took our annual trip to the Alabama Theatre to see my all-time favorite movie It's a Wonderful Life. Yes, I cried at the end, I always do. I'm so thankful my kids look forward to that event as much as I do. I'm sure it's not their favorite movie but I'm glad they have an appreciation for historic buildings and even more--an appreciation for something their mom enjoys!
All my bloggy friends must be busy--no one has updated lately. Don't sweat that small stuff, people! Journal! Inquiring minds want to know what's up with you!
Tomorrow, I'm spending the morning with my mom and her daycare kids. Guess where we are going? Bass Pro! LOL They have a Christmas village with fun things for the kids to do and so I talked her into doing that instead of the freakin' Galleria! Afterward we'll have lunch and then it'll be time to teach dance.
Gotta run and get cupcakes out of the oven!
