Family back in tact. We took it easy today. The kids played with daddy and I did laundry. I also ran out to get some last minute Christmas shopping done. I got Justin the race track he has always wanted like Mikey’s. It will be his gift from Santa. We got out my Christmas train. Dad put it around the train table instead of the train. Too hard to get it around the Christmas tree after it is already up. The kids couldn’t wait for dad to finish with it. I finally finished Christmas cards-woo hoo. We walked some to the neighbor’s mailbox. The kids put their Chip and Dale animals in their strollers and took them for a walk. It is so warm today, such a nice December day. We found some pine cones on our walk so we decorated them. The kids decorated with glitter and glue. We also got sharpie pens out and decorated their buckets from pre school. Keeping the kiddos busy has been hard today. The kids packed up to go to grandma/pa’s tonight while Bret and I go to a party. We also made snowman snow globes. They are so cute, it was a project that a mom gave us from our Coastline class. The kids were pretty needy today always calling us. We needed a bit of a break so the kiddos watched TV. I worked on putting more pics together for my photo calendar I do every year. Bret and I dropped the kiddos off at grandma/pa’s. They were excited to go. We miss them but we had a great night out. We ran to Wal-Mart for some last minute shopping. Since I gave Nicole my doll house we are going to return the other doll house I bought and get her something else. I keep thinking I am done Christmas shopping but then I think of something else. Bret and I had a great night out. We went to one of Bret’s old high school buddies house. After a few drinks things were good. The people were really friendly and I am still a little buzzed. Off to bed soon-the good news is I can sleep in in the morning.
