this is one of my favorite things at christmas time … cards from friends and family filling up my mantle!
i love going to the mailbox … and coming back with envelopes addressed in familiar handwriting. and opening each one up and seeing what they designed as their christmas card this year. and love the photos … love seeing how everyone has grown since last years photo. although i need a better way to display these next year … i feel like some get hidden in the back. and they're all covering up the lighted greenery … so it's not as glowy. and i really want to get new stockings one of these years … these are so old.
i ended up with the day off today … my daycare kiddos were both home. so the girls and i did tons of stuff … running around all day. we baked a ton of cookies … and have eaten a ton of them too! we ran errands … did the bank, the post office, blockbuster for new movies, the grocery store, alyssa over to her youth meeting. did a few loads of laundry and some cleaning. we had my sister come over for a yummy dinner … she's in town for the week from colorado. and then we played lots of games … blackjack, spoons, deal or no deal, are you smarter than a 5th grader, and mancala.
and now we're tired. lol! i'm working tomorrow … i think just a half day though. i have 2 more small gifts to get … but they're at the hardware store … which shouldn't be that busy, right? and i have to finish up my gift albums … havn't touched them in a few days. so typical of me … gotta save some things for the last minute!
