I did not do cards this year. I did not take pictures of my children in their Christmas best. I have been too busy having fun with those guys from JibJab.
So, Merry Christmas from my Elves to yours!

It's The Most Wonderful Time...
I feel so much better today. Yesterday started out with the potential to be another icky one, but then I changed my attitude and we had a great one.
I have been working so hard on gifts for my loved ones and hopefully (fingers crossed) I will get everything done before Thursday! I have made robes for Seth and Amelia and am going to make matching slippers for them. I still need to make Libby's robe and slippers. They are going to be SO cute and I am so excited to be making their gifts this year.
I am also working like a mad woman to get Jeremy's sweater done. I bought the yarn last January with the delusion hope I would get it done by his birthday on February 24. I had the back done by his birthday, that's something right? So, throughout the year this sweater has come everywhere with me and I am almost done with it! I finished the collar yesterday while nursing the baby and it is now blocking and ready for a zipper. I REALLY hope to get it done and wrapped for him.
We have also been busy being Santa (in a box with a lion and a zebra as the reindeer)
playing in the snow,
making gingerbread houses
and just lounging around the tree.
So, despite all the headache that can (and does) come with the Holidays, I am taking a few moments to remind myself that it really is a magical time of year.

Muffins for Breakfast
Seth's order for food is muffins for breakfast, cookies for lunch and candy canes for dinner. Sounds good to me, don't you think?
It just shows that we have been eating too much crap recently and the holiday's are officially upon us. My children are in rare form...and I think it's all the sugar (shh...don't tell them that, they will completely freak out!).
In the store it's, "Moooom I want some CAAAAANNNNDY!" or "Mooooooom! LOOOOOOOOK at the Sweeeeeeeets!" or (my personal favorite) "Mooooom! I'm huuuungry. I want something to eat with sugar in it nooooow!"
Yes, they really do talk like that, with the extended vowels and everything.
I'm getting ready to pack them up in the boxes that hold our Christmas decorations. Then at least I could leave out my cute centerpiece (picture to come) without them taking it apart.
Tempting....
