oh lordy its almost christmas

So this weekend i accomplished a ton. although all my decorating is done it seems as though i have so much still left to do. I managed to get almost all my christmas shopping done in a matter of 2 days, and i have the menu planned out for all the diff christmas' we have to go to and the one im doing at my house. Should be interesting christmas day cause Im doing the christmas thing here at my house for chris family. Who of course seem to have no clue that I can cook very well. At least Ive never had any complaints lol. So I am dealing with them questioning everything I want to make. But either way the meal will be awesome. But still so much work involved in all this. Got in a bit over my head on it cause I never planned anything this big before so its all new to me. But its all kinda exciting and fun. the pile of things i have to make and cook is unreal. But i guess this is just a way to put my cooking skills to use right? lol. Funny thing is I absolutely love all the craziness of the holidays. All the people trying to run ya down to get that item before you, all the honking cause apparently your in their way. lol. I love it all. But my fave thing was the other day in the car when the alvin and the chipmunks christmas song came on and aiden just lit up cause he knew who it was singing lol. was by far the cutest thing. And the excitement in his 4 yr old eyes over everything christmas is hillarious and so very refreshing. Its so much fun to be able to look at christmas thru a small childs eyes again. even if for just a little while. To feel just as excited as he is has been so much fun. Now all we need is some snow so we can build snowmen and snow forts and his dreams for christmas will come true lol.
