it's been a hectic week! on top of the usual hustle & bustle of the holidays, i've also got a wedding cake this Saturday...a winter wonderland wedding - i'm very excited about it!
Jaden lets me know every morning, just how many days we have left until Christmas...did u know it's only 15 days away?!
ahhhhhh!
we're starting to get our game plan in order...i think we'll b able to pull off a pretty sweet Christmas, even if things r unbelievably rough this year...& that puts my heart at ease
honestly, the wedding cake i just mentioned? a true blessing! it was a last minute call that i got about 2 months ago - the bride decided the person that was originally making their cake was talking her into details & designs she wasn't really happy with...i had made her cousin's wedding cake last year, so she gave me a call...& i'm so happy she did! this order is pretty much saving Christmas for our kiddos! ;0)
Jaden, Gabby & Corinn understand that Santa only brings them 1 gift each (plus stockings, of course)...cause there are just so many boys & girls out there whose parents can't get them anything for Christmas - & we need to spread Santa's love ;0)
& they know that this year, there will be 3 small gifts for each of them under the tree from daddy & i...u know, just like Jesus received for his birthday...it makes my heart melt that they didn't even question this once...they get it...& they respect it...& i love that!
but there's still a lot to do...& only a few more days to do it in!
my mom is going to take the kiddos to my niece's basketball game tonight so we can get our shopping done...that's a HUGE help!
we're making ornaments for the kiddos' teachers again, like we do every year...but we've gotta get moving on that
we also want to make a trip to this place again before December is over...but on a not-so-cold night this year ;0)
& Christmas cards...they're in my hot little hands...just gotta find time to address & mail em all!
but u know? even tho things are a little crazy right now, i'm sooooo looking forward to Christmas getting here! i'm anxious for those two 3-day work weeks...and for quality time at home with the kiddos & Curt! we're praying for some Christmas snow too...Jaden teared up when he realized what we just got was melting away :0(
how is it going for u guys? are u done shopping yet? are u feeling overwhelmed & stressed? or are u full of the holiday spirit?
oh...& it's that time of year again...time to waste a few hours on youtube watching all the wonderful holiday light displays! ~lol~ i just can't get enuff!

Definitely overwhelmed and stressed right now. I have so much to do. I have to finish my quilting projects (2 more to go), I have to finish shopping (gift cards and Jeff) and I have to plan and prepare Christmas dinner. I haven't even thought about teacher gifts yet!
Can't wait to see the Winter Wonderland cake.
And my kids only get a few things under the tree too (i think 5 this year for each). One, financially it doesn't make sense to buy more and two, we don't NEED more!
