It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!!!!

So it's almost Christmas. Are you done shopping? No? Well, get on the ball!!! I think my husband has a couple more things to pick up, one of which is for my brother-in-law, but besides that, we're done! Woo-hoo!

Christmas festivities are in "full swing" here. Today, we're headed to my great aunt's house to enjoy a yummy lunch with my mom's extended family (her aunts, uncles, cousins, & their kids). It will be a full house, but is always fun, we do it every year, just at a different house. I'm bringing sugar cookies because I rock :) (And I'm lazy).

Monday (Christmas Eve), we're having Christmas lunch with my mom's best friend (who I'm named after... my middle name Allison) & her husband & kids. We always have a good time with them. Then we're off to David's family to have Christmas with my in-laws during the evening. This is a first this year, but hopefully it'll be fun!

Christmas Day we're planning to have Christmas together at home when we get up & then head to my parents' to have Christmas with them & my brother (awww, my baby brother is home from North Carolina! I get to see him today! I'm soooo excited!!!). Then we'll have Christmas with my grandma (Nene) & aunt, uncle, & cousins (mom's side). Then I'm thinking we'll see my dad's siblings at some point, but haven't heard the final word. It'll be a busy day, but last year we did all this & saw David's family too. Yikes!

Then a couple down days. Shopping on Wednesday, drs appt on Thursday, waiting for our new washer & dryer on Friday. This weekend, David's aunts & uncles & cousins & grandparents are coming in town (starting Thursday night) & will be in town until the first part of next week (Monday, Tuesday ish). We'll get to enjoy them next weekend & we can't wait. His parents are going to have a pretty full house!!

I guess that pretty much sums up what we'll be up to. Hope you & yours have a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year! Enjoy the time with your family & remember the reason for the season! Love to all!
