Kim FINALLY arrived Wednesday night and we never slowed down. I finished most
of my shopping and that was a big accomplishment. The only accomplishment larger than that was they all got wrapped (thanks mostly to Kim and her skills). :) Thursday we spent all day shopping and then headed to girls night at Stef's. The malls weren't too busy. Friday, we were at gymnastics all day and then home for naps. Friday night Kim kept the kids so Eric and I could go to dinner then to do the kids shopping at Toys R Us. It is amazing how many people were shopping at 10 and 11 o'clock at night! Another task off my list. We got home and wrapped until 1. Luckily my little wrapper was still up and it was a good thing since Eric's wrapping is not up to par. :) Saturday was another full day. Cleaning, errands, and then two party's. We had a birthday party at 3 and we left there to get ready to go see Santa. Eric is able to go with us and after the long anticipated wait the kids got to see Santa. Ella and Jack had a lot to say and John just looked at him. It was overall a great visit. No screaming (except in excitement, she thinks Santa is a rock star), no crying, not even a whimper.
Off to pick up a few more things and then home. 9 o'clock was way later than i wanted to get home since we still had another party to attend. Kids in bed and after Eric had some technically difficulties with his computer we were out the door about 10:30ish. More on this party later. Sunday, we are up and getting ready to take Kim back to the airport. After much begging and pleading she still left. It was a wonderful and, as always, a very productive visit. I think everyone is exhausted. Eric is in the last week of the job. Final inspection is on Monday the 22nd so keep him in your prayers.

Why can't I ever get the pictures I want to look at most on here to enlarge! I can see all the party pictures but not the kids santa picture. Fix this. Oh, and that tacky christmas party looked... a little... well, fun. Ha. Glad you're not a shut-in.
