The calendar may say "Saturday" but our calendar says no rest for the weary four days before Christmas! |
7:00 It's been a cookie factory around these parts the past few days |
8:00 Showering up before tackling the day |
9:00 Cookies lined up and ready to go to assemble holiday treat boxes for the shut-ins in our congregation |
10:00 50 treat boxes times 1.5 dozen treats in each equals a long couple of weeks of preparation (but so much fun and such a blessing to be able to help spread holiday cheer!) |
11:00 Prepping for some holiday shopping this afternoon--and make sure we avoid any Santa visits at the stores we are going to because those always invite chaos |
12:00 Consolidating the leftover treats (which ended up being a lovely way to stock our fridge for the holiday season!) |
1:00 Toy store number one. Brought the boys with under the guise that they need to pick cousin gifts for the exchange next weekend, but really, we needed a few more gift ideas for some of them |
2:00 And toy store number two (love supporting our local toy stores!) |
3:00 Enjoying some Veggie Tale holiday fun |
4:00 Early dinner prepped... |
5:00 And early dinner eaten... |
6:00 (and 7:00) So we can get to a local production of The Nutcracker! |
8:00 Two of my cousin's boys were in the show and it was So.Much.Fun. The boys loved it |
9:00 Bedtime at last for the final boy |
10:00 Putting the finishing touches on our 2025 calendar |
11:00 Perusing my parent's 2025 calendar that just came in the mail (designing their calendar--and ours!--is definitely a labor of love, but I so enjoy the final product) |
Ugh. Really need to work on improving this bedtime in the new year.... |
