The calm before the storm

Surprisingly, I'm not feeling the usual holiday panic....yet.



The house is decorated for Christmas (except for our big Christmas tree which will hopefully go up Friday night), the presents are wrapped and ready to go. Wait....I do need gift tags for all the presents but that is minor....








We had the family over for dinner on Sunday night for Jessie's birthday. Ate a lot and laughed a lot...what more can we ask for?



The actual day of her birthday? Saturday? We spent 6 hours at a basketball tournament. Where her team played 3 games with an hour inbetween each game.



The first game? They won 18 to 2 (or something like that). The second game? They got creamed 26 to 0. The third game? They lost again, 14 to 9. Talk about a long day though....by the 3rd game they were dragging. But they played well, learned some things and had a lot of fun.


I have a few crafty gifts to finish up...but the kids and I are on vacation the last 2 weeks of the year....so I've still got plenty of time!
Enjoy your days!!!!

Wait - you wrapped the gifts without tags?!? You must have a much better memory that I do. I would forget what was in there ten seconds after I wrapped it!
