'Twas the Day Before Christmas Eve

Just a few hours to go and then I will be all the way done with Christmas shopping.  I am trying to hit only 2 more stores that should not be as busy as the mall.  I am getting excited to see the kids play with their stuff.  The other day, I found them reading my blog.  No more present info. Sorry kids!


We got a free smoothie at the gym to share.  It was really good--Chunky Monkey.  Luke loved it, Haylee not so much. There was no Zumba class today.  Either not enough people showed up or it got canceled.  There were quite a few new kids at the gym.  My guess is that they were home from college for Christmas break.


Yesterday was Haylee's birthday.  She loved being sung to at church. We did put a candle in her cinnamon rolls for breakfast.  The girls wore their new Christmas clothes.  The rest of us wore something red.  It was interesting that there was not much talk of Christmas at church.  The choir sang some songs.  I like that, but I want to sing too, but not in the choir. Maybe we will sing more songs next Sunday. We have been listening to Pandora's Christmas station.  Today we are going to make some ornaments.

Weather: No snow, lots of sunshine and some wind.
