Well here we are! Today is my last day at the office until 2013. I got a big surprise at work today which only added to my general excitement. I am totally, 100% PUMPED about Christmas. This is the first year we've spent any real money on the kids. Of course Danslen is still getting slightly shafted but her time is coming. Daniley's Christmas is going to rock and I am just beside myself about it all. She has never gotten wound up about Christmas, and still isn't too bad. You would expect her under the tree snooping...but not so. She told Santa she wanted a new set of dolls. She has asked for nothing else. I will have 5 whole days to enjoy before Christmas arrives. I am looking forward to the time off and to a wonderful Christmas with my sweet family! MERRY CHRISTMAS!! I am losing sleep already!!! :-)

This year's Christmas party was the best ever! It put me in the best Christmas mood. I love seeing all the kids and I should have a house full way more often. Here is a hodge podge of pictures. I didn't post all the individual Santa pictures in the slideshow, but if you are my friend on Facebook I tagged you in your picture of your kids.
While waiting for Santa, Daniley explained that if she sang "Jingle Bells" Santa would know where to find her. Suddenly, and without singing thank goodness, Santa emerged from the woods. The kids began jumping and screaming with excitement. CiCi, age 6, told everyone they should pretend like they were asleep. Then another little boy squealed, "It doesn't matter if I'm on the Naughty List." Breanna, age 6, told Santa that she knew Santa knew her Dad because her Dad had been calling Santa. Kids don't hold back any secrets from Santa.
Some things are just better in person. Perhaps those little girls' squeals are just a higher pitch than what the camera can record. I wouldn't take a million bucks for being able to stand there last night and see all those little kids jumping around like that. I thought for a minute the floor was going to fall through. Those kids are precious in every way.
Here are a few pictures.
And here is a picture of Mom with Santa. This was one of the most fun days of being a mother so far! We are so blessed and love sharing our home and Santa with all our friends! Thank you all so much for coming. We were blessed by your presence and hope to see you again next year!

Add stocking making to my resume!!
I was going to pay a friend to do these because I have so little time. However, Saturday night Dan and I had arrangements made for the girl and were going to go to a party a friend of mine was having. Unfortunately, we could not get our crap together, so I canceled everything and we stayed at home. On the flip side, I found time to make these! So proud of my first ever stockings!
