Made it thru the 25th...

and most of this week. Only today to go and I am finished working for the year!!
Sunday brings a new Christmas as we are traveling to mom's, with the four grandchildren! Never did that before...........travel with the kids, let alone without the parents. They have to work or have things to do, FINE! We will go and have fun!
Then we are coming home and the kidlets are spending the night.....we plan on getting them all loaded in the car and going to the fireworks at midnight, but truthfully we will see how tired the grandparents are, lol.
Happy New Year to all!

Christmas is coming!!

Sunday Dec 3 was our annual Christmas Open House........what a success!!
Over 120 friends, family and acquatainces-who woulda thunk that??
We managed thru many tense times to get all of the house decorated, except for the master bedroom and the craft room. Great Job!! Momma came and she helped lots too, it is such an exciting time for us all.
Now on to the present planning and hey, here's an idea!-wrap the presents early?! Now that would be new to me, lol. In past years I have been wrapping as the daughter is driving the grandchildren up the drive, lol. Drives my DH crazy, but I think he could wrap too if it bothers him so much.
So back to work tomorrow, as I had today off to recover and regroup.....but my home is lovely if I say so myself.
