....I'm dreaming of a white christmas....okay so not anymore it is white here that is for sure. As long as I don't have to leave the house I love the snow and cold, but when I have to leave it becomes bothersome and annoying!!
We are preparing for our Christmas eve celebration so yesterday my mom came and rolled the pigs in a blanket (little smokies in crescent roll dough) I have made 3 batches of punch concentrate turning 1 of them into cupcake size ice cubes to fit in the cascading punch bowl. Everything is mostly wrapped. Last night the kids frosted sugar cookies and I am pretty sure they will be the only ones eating them...they look festive but...... We haven't watched nearly as many christmas movies this month as I would have liked, and Jim and I still haven't watched its a wonderful life but we will get it all done.
Eye doctors and orthodontists are the theme for this past couple of days. Getting it all in so we don't have to take the kids out of school. Jim's sister is in town for work so she will be coming for dinner tonight, I finally get that lasagna I have had in the freezer--no not the store bought one the real homeade one.
Merry Christmas!!

The Christmas Sweater By Glenn Beck

I love this time of year, Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year. Each year Santa slips a christmas book into my stocking and I spend Christmas day curled up in my pajama's reading. This year our neighbors gave us an early christmas present and gave us a copy of the book "The Christmas Sweater" by Glenn Beck. Of course as much as I love to read, I don't read very often because I can't put books down until they are done and because of this nothing else gets done. This book was no exception!! An amazing story with an extremely powerful message! I can't wait for my older kids to read and get their perspective on it. If you have the opportunity to read this book, please take a few hours to do so.

Christmas is only 15 days away? The kids present are purchased and ready to wrap, the tree is up, the house is decorated, the sugary yummy snacks are almost all done, the neighborhood christmas gifts are ready to be delivered..We are so far behind....on our Holiday movie watching. We haven't even seen Charlie Brown's Christmas... can you believe that??

SNOW!! we NEED SNOW!! THINK SNOW!!
