I bet you thought I drop off the planet

Nope just been busy busy busy. I should be in a routine by now since school started in Sept. but for the life of me I just can't do it. Now that the Christmas is so near I am crazy busy trying to buy present, get the house ready, along with the every day chores that I just never seem to catch up with. Today was shopping for Xmas and groceries and then it was home to do the laundry. Yesterday was cleaning and getting ready for 22 teenages that were coming over for dinner. No I didn't have to cook because it was a progressive dinner, some of the kids made the dinner and I must add it was FABULOUS. We just had to give them a place to eat. It was a fun time.

Here is the photo that I finally decided on for our Christmas cards. Not my fav but it was the only one that both girls were looking at me and that Hayley approved of. Ugh. For some reason I had a hard time getting them together to even try to take a picture. What the heck, last year they were begging me to get the camera out.



I hope everyone is enjoying this time of year and not getting too stressed. I do get alittle stressed but I try to tell myself that it will all get done and what doesn't is not a big deal. We have a few parties coming up and the girls are getting excited (OK so am I}. I am hosting my dh family Xmas eve and I love doing it. It is very relaxed and I love watching the kids open there presents. It is a magical time. Let the counting begin - 16 days. HAHA.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS
