Dec 1st- STARTED my Christmas shopping! All who know me know that this was unusual as I am usually finished by thanksgiving....
Dec 15th- FINISHED my Christmas shopping, yes that was ALL I did for the first 2 weeks.....
Dec 17th- I turned 28! Happy Birthday to me!
Dec 19th- Kids last day of school ( and the beginning of the craziness for me)
Dec 20-23rd- mostly just playing at my house! Although I think we cut out and decorated cookies AT LEAST 3 times, went to breakfast with Santa, wrapped presents, and watched Charlie Brown Christmas among other holiday movies....
Dec 24th- Went to the gym (that's right!) went to peter piper pizza(while daddy "worked" aka- put up the tramp from Santa in the backyard) came home and watched a family Christmas show, went to dinner(hello Olive Garden), and drove around to see Christmas lights. Then we came home, put out our cookies, read the Christmas story from the Bible(while translating into "4yr old"), talked a TON about the true meaning of Christmas, THEN opened our reindeer name tagged Christmas Jammie's (a tradition from Patrick's family... all the presents have reindeer names instead of regular names and you figure out which presents are yours Christmas Eve @ the Jammie opening! SO FUN!). Here are a few pics! I will do a Christmas day post next....
Lily and Mommy hanging out by the tree.... (boy do I look cheesey)

Patrick, Lily, and Jackson (who REFUSED to smile normally) at the restaurant.
