It's starting to look a lot like Christmas!!!

With the countdown to Christmas upon us, I find myself a little behind schedule!!! Yes the tree is up and is getting pulled on by Liam's little fingers often.  The lights for the house are still sitting in the garage and my wonderful husband says he'll put them up tomorrow; we shall see!!  According to my "holiday plan" I was going to mail the annual Christmas cards out on Monday, be done Christmas shopping by Sunday and be done wrapping by the middle of the week.  In reality, I just started addressing envelopes for the Christmas cards today and still have a hand full to go. Also, I still have half a list of Christmas shopping to do and I don't even have a quarter of the wrapping paper I need to wrap presents.  So as the two week crunch is upon me, it's time to start checking things off my list because ready or not Christmas is coming and I can't wait to see Christmas through my children's eyes!!!

The rest of the week will hold finishing decorating the house, wrapping up the Christmas shopping and getting the food for my first hosted Christmas Eve party for my parents and some friends!!! We will be taking the kids around to look at Christmas lights, making Christmas cookies and attempting to make our first gingerbread house with Rylie being the designer!!! I'm sure it will be a lot of messy fun!!!
