Put together Colin's gifts from Santa that require assembly! Durn elves are on strike again...

Well, I would have a bit of last-minute gift shopping to do, but we're snowed in! So all I have to do is wrap the presents I do have, and help my family-in-law decorate the tree. (We haven't done the latter yet because FIL was in the hospital the last two days. He's all right now, though! :D)

*Wrap all gifts (after removing the tie wraps from the FP Little People stuff),
*Put stockings together
*Get everything over to IL's house for Santa
*Church at 5pm (whole family)
*Church at 11pm (Drew - in choir)
*Make spinach dip for tomorrow

Yesterday we took Mia's Christmas pictures. Bryce got into town at midnight.

This morning we were back at Wal*Mart for all 3 of the kids to have their photos done together. The advertised special is ADORABLE! and the ones of the boys separately are great too.

Next year, EVERYTHING will be done before we leave on the cruise.

Well # 1 on my list is cook a turkey dinner for tonight. This is HUGE because I have NEVER touched a turkey before!

Then, tonight I have to wait for MAdison to go to bed so I can:
~ wrap the rest of her presents
~ wrap DH's gifts after he leaves for work
~ bake chocolate chip cookies to bring for Christmas day tomorrow
~ put stockings together
~ set up presents from Santa under the tree

This should be interesting to see if I get it all done!

Hmmm, I need to:

Finish making cookies
Clean Living Room
Finish laundry
Finish wrapping gifts
Start Holiday cards (Sadly, I haven't gotten to this yet. Luckily, I always buy cards that say "Happy Holidays" so they could count for New Year's too. ::grin::)

And I suspect there's at least one other thing that's not coming to me right now. It'll probably occur to me once I get some of the other stuff done. :)

Well the reason I haven't been online much this morning is because I was doing my stuff. Basically it was a lot of cooking:

Make cookies for tomorrow's dessert (also some to leave out for Santa tonight)
Make demi-glace sauce for dinner tomorrow
Bread/coat pork tenderlion for dinner tomorrow
Melt chocolate and dip cookies in, decorate cookies (tomorrow's dessert)
Make souffle for Christmas Eve luncheon
Make Christmas Eve lunchon entree
Serve/eat Christmas Eve luncheon
Clean up kitchen and mountain of dishes resulting from all of this cooking

Fortunately I am now done with all of this. For the rest of the day I have:

Finish reading what's happening on the BBB
Do hair/spend Mommy pampering hour preparing for tonight
Change and make sure DH changes into something fancier than jeans
Feed kids (and DH)
Church at 5 pm
Christmas Lights drive with kids
Make hot cider
Tell Christmas story to kids while using LP nativity set for illustrative purposes
Leave cookies and milk for 'Santa' (DH)
Put kids to bed
Put Santa presents under the tree

Oh yeah, when I invariably wake up in the middle of the night I have to sneak downstairs and fill the stockings so DH and the kids don't go poking around in there before tomorrow morning.

Pack for our trip to Colorado...but I'm almost done...YIPPEEEEEEEEEE

[Saartje]

I like your list, Juliet. ;)

[psophia17]

It's 9:30pm here, and I just finished - I had time to go online for approximately 10 minutes earlier today, to check that some packages I'd shipped had actually arrived, and I think I may have posted...but didn't have time to do my marathon of posting like I usually do...

I don't even really know what I accomplished today, just that I spent a lot of time accomplishing it :)

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Good Night!!!

Gawrsh..... (picture Goofy dragging his toe in the dirt)..... :)

BTW I finished my list, and even filled the stockigns at 4 am! I am now having a few quiet minutes before I get the kids up.
