Merry Christmas!!!

Well, my Christmas is getting better organized, thank the lord. I have gotten everything finished or figured out. All the gifts are bought, and wrapped!! Most are under the tree. (The only ones that aren't are the ones that Santa is bringing tonight.) I got a lot of cooking done today. The rest will be finished tomorrow (Just finger foods). I am excited, and relaxed which is nice. Christmas used to be so hectic when we went back to Alabama. It was rush rush rush, we had 3 places to be on Christmas Eve and count them, 5, places to be on Christmas day. Needless to say we were always exhausted which in turn made us pissy. . and we usually spent the day arguing. Last year we decided that we were not going to take the first leave period so we would just stay here for Christmas. It was so nice. Christmas Eve we spent at the beach, and Christmas morning we got up and let Maddie open and play with her toys, while I cooked Christmas dinner. Then we had friends over and we just ate, hung out, and relaxed. It is going to be pretty much the same this year. Today I got all of the food that could be made in advance finished. . we got the house cleaned really well, and now we are relaxing. We are going to go bake cookies for Santa in a few minutes and then after that we will chill out, maybe play a little Wii. Tomorrow should be nice as well. Maddison can do as she wishes and we will have finger foods all day and we have told our friends that they can come and go as they please. . nothing formal.

My dad will be here around the 27th, so we will spend a couple of days with them and then on the 30th we are off to Bama to see everyone else. This should be a good holiday!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!!!!
