We have six days until Christmas is here and our house knows it! Today we were preparing all day long. With both of us fairly busy the past couple of weeks, we really have not taken the time to get into the holiday spirit at all, or even shop or get our game plan together. This includes a LONG list of unfinished projects that I have had going since mid-October. Today we got so much accomplished, amazing things happen when we are both home and ready to get things done. Besides crafting all day long (Jay was right there with me, with scissors, decoupage...the works!) we also managed to have a great day as a family enjoying our first day of Christmas vacation.
Today Charlotte really got her first taste of Christmas. She got to meet Santa for the first time (only an hour wait this time) and she seemed to really like him! We also went to Hallmark to pick up her first Christmas ornament. Of course, we walked out with two...we are such suckers! We ended the day with a wintery family walk to the park and quick ride on the swings.
Overall, it was a great day and we are almost prepared for the holiday migration west. Gifts are becoming to come together and of course the car carrier has been once again set into place.
