We are in full Christmas spirit around here. Christmas is 4 days away, which is very exciting since we have been counting down since there was like 40 days until Christmas. It's finally coming!!
December has pretty much flown by. Work has been absolutely crazy, with all the end of the year surgeries trying to get done. I have been putting in some 47 hour long weeks, so it's been a long couple weeks of work.
The kids are loving this time of year. We have been doing a lot of coloring in Christmas books and Christmas crafts. They love this season. And of course, we have been listening to a ton of Christmas Music!
Last weekend, my parents and Ryan came to town to visit. The kids were very excited to see everyone. We mostly hung out at the house, but we also went out to eat for supper, and then went and saw the Light Show at the Western Mall. We tried to see the lights at the falls, but the traffic was absolutely crazy, so we decided to skip it.
On Sunday, we went to church and then baked and decorated Christmas cookies with everyone. Emma had her Children's Christmas Program in the afternoon, and it was adorable. Emma looked great in her Christmas dress, and she did really well. She had one line she said by herself, and she said it nice and slow and loud. I was so proud of her. She also had a couple songs and another part that just the kindergartens did, and they all did a great job. She was such a trooper, and did great though the whole program. However, during the last 10-15 minutes, she started nodding off, and falling asleep. I guess we had a little too much fun with grandma and grandpa over the weekend!
This past week has flown pretty quickly. Work has been crazy, and the kids are usually bouncing off the walls in the evenings. Emma doesn't have school today or tomorrow, so I took those two days off, which is kind of nice since we have 48 cases at the ASC today and 51 tomorrow. Yikes.
We are heading to Minnesota on Saturday and then driving back on Christmas Day. John and I work all week, but Emma doesn't have school, so the kids are going out to Jim and Barb's for 4 nights. That should be interesting. But, we are all looking forward to Christmas. And I am looking forward to finishing Christmas shopping tomorrow. I have never been this unprepared for Christmas, it's crazy!! At least it's snowing today, and kind of feels like Christmas is coming.
Merry Christmas!!
