I have been fighting myself to get busy. I have so much to do!!! AND I've been very lazy about it.
The holidays have been very strange for me this year. I guess it's the whole empty nest thing. I knew if I didn't get my Christmas tree up during the Thanksgiving weekend, while KayeLynn was home, I would probably not get it up at all. It's very strange and different. Now, I am not trying to sound depressed or sad - because I'm not. I am excited about all the changes, but, it does bring a whole different element to life. Maybe next year, I'll have a different OOMPH about things.
Usually I have my presents under the tree shortly after the tree gets up. I just barely got them all done two days ago - I probably would have waited until yesterday, but, I had to take my mom to the hospital yesterday afternoon for a procedure. But, they are all wrapped and ready for tomorrow night.
It also took forever to get my Christmas cards addressed and signed. I couldn't even get the ambition to do the Christmas letter - so Ted had to do it. It was a pretty cute, geeky letter for sure.
This year we are having Christmas tomorrow, December 23. Crystal and Brandon are heading to Milford tomorrow. They are spending Christmas Eve there. The kiddos don't know it yet, but, come Christmas morning, they are heading off to Disneyland. I am more excited about that than I am about Christmas. This is so exciting. I can't wait to hear the stories about how much fun they had!!
Tonight is the sibling celebration. My sisters, brother and me - with all the spouses and my mom - have an annual dinner and celebration. My mom usually takes care of it - it's her gift to us - but, this year, because she is having open-heart surgery two days after Christmas, my sister took the brunt of the preparation on herself. I enjoy this night, too. It's good to get together and giggle and laugh and spend time with them.
Saturday, we are heading up to Idaho Falls to see Dee and Gabe. I'm very excited to see them, too. We will have dinner with them and head on back - after I get my chance at the Mega Millions and the Powerball, ya know!!
Come Sunday - I plan on having my feet up and spend the day cleaning and doing laundry. What a weird way to spend Christmas Day!! Oh well!!!
I hope you have a great Christmas - - I'll make sure to try and post some pictures of my holiday celebration!!!
