The past two weeks have been exciting and the activity has been non-stop. Today we all felt like crashing, but there was too much to do to try to clean up some of the Christmas chaos and to have a dinner party tonight.As I started organizing the Christmas stuff, I had a really good feeling about our holiday. I don't have any wish I woulda's or coulda's. I feel like I was able to do what I had set out to accomplish:
- sewed nativity costumes for all of the kids
- made cookies and delivered to the neighbors
- hosted a successful book group at my house on the 20th
- had friends over for playdate/luncheon on the 20th
- tried out new recipes for Christmas Eve (avocado eggrolls were fabulous)
- played Christmas music on the piano
- read Christmas books to Katherine
- attended neighborhood and friend gatherings
- saw the Nutcracker with Katherine
- sent out the Christmas cards a week before
- kept an advent countdown with Katherine
In addition to these things I also kept up with traditions of the past like making quiche Christmas morning and other small things that I do every year. All of this adds up to being exhausted. It's time to end this post because I'm tired!

You crazy lady! I stayed in bed all two weeks of my vacation. Accomplished nothing but watching all the bowl games possible and reading books.
