IT'S ALMOST HERE...


AHHH! Okay, the presents are wrapped for 5 kids, 5 "in-law" kids, 8 grandchildren, my mom and Dick - and do we have presents! We're going to start taking them to everyone's house tomorrow so we have room in our car to go on Christmas Eve and Christmas. Whew! The groceries are stocked and ready for yummy dishes to be prepared. The house is cleaned and ready for any company that might pop in. Now just one more full day at the shop and part of the day on Saturday and the fun will begin.
This year is going to be a little different than most, but I'm looking forward to all of it! I always have Christmas, but with all the little ones this year, we are going to make lots of stops. Christmas Eve we are going to Amanda's home, Christmas late morning we are going to Rich's home and late Christmas afternoon we are going to Ashley's home. All of the children are so excited for "Bebe and Papa" to get there, and we are too!
So, are you ready? Time to set back, relax and enjoy what we've all worked so hard to create. Time with loved ones, good food, and peace. Most of all, give yourselves a break and just have some fun. Talk to you again soon.
Until next time...
