Christmas is in 3 days!! Eek! We ate all the Christmas cookie baking in the house, so I have lots of baking to get done in the next day or two. But, the presents are all bought, and most are wrapped and tucked under the tree. And, we went and filled two grocery carts full of food yesterday, so I think we're set for hosting Christmas at our house this year.

We are lucky to have both sets of parents come here for Christmas. The kids are going to be in Grandparent heaven. They are so excited for Grannie and Opa to arrive- that's what the countdown is around here. How many days until Grannie and Opa are here? They only have to wait 2 more days, since they're arriving Christmas Eve. We're looking forward to it.

I am thoroughly enjoying Eva's two-week Christmas break from school. I just love laid-back days, I feel like I can get lots done around the house (in my pajamas) and also catching up on lots of overdue playdates. So fun.

Now, I'm in Christmas prep mode: last-minute meal-planning, baking, house-cleaning, and of course, I'm hoping to film the annual Christmas song which will be song by both of the girls this year. Stay tuned for that. Hopefully I'll have it filmed and up soon.

Merry almost Christmas!

Eva, this song is for you. Mommy hasn't picked up her guitar in years, but I heard this song for the first time today, on your birthday, and just had to sing it for you.

I asked Eva what Santa was bringing me for Christmas (since she has informed me that she knows for sure, Santa is bringing her a Polly Pocket playset). She told me he's bringing me a Coffee Chart. I asked her to clarify. And apparently, it's a sticker chart that gets a sticker every time I have a cup of coffee. AND, I'm only allowed one sticker a day. Ha!

Oh, and Santa is bringing her Daddy some socks.

Sweet deal!

Oh, and on an unrelated note, have you heard of Groupon? I secretly want today's Groupon for Christmas. A Photo Excursion and Training in Vancouver, sweet! Maybe I should tell Santa.
