Countdown till Christmas!
I LOVE Christmas. I love the religious aspects of it, I love the materialistic aspects of it. We always spend Christmas Eve with my husbands family and their (newish) church is becoming one of my favorite places to celebrate Christmas. They have a large Deaf and Hard of Hearing population and I love watching the signing of the singing. I wish my signing skills were up to par! Their church does an exceptional job of reminding us that this holiday isnt filled with gifts and food for kicks. It's really about the birth of Jesus.
Anyway this will be our 2nd Christmas as a family of 3 and the bebes is REALLY getting into it this year. We got the fisher price nativity set for her and this way we have physical objects she can touch and relate to while we talk to her about Christmas. It also plays music which is not such a bad thing! We've learned she LOVES to help unwrap gifts even if they aren't for her and her new favorite word is tee (tree).
Yesterday we had to hit up urgent care for the bebes and myself because we were hit over the weekend with a sore throat swollen glands painful ears 102 temp and massive sinus issues (for me) and a wicked one ear infection (for bebes) that the Dr said was one of the worse she'd ever seen. After 6 HOURS of doctors and pharmacies we arrived at home...took our med and passed out for 4 hours each. Thank goodness we went yesterday it looks like we'll be back to our normal healthy selves by Christmas.
I'm so excited to cram in 4 different family events in 2.5 days and then head back home to relax for a week with Dave and the bebes. Dave and I have our 3 year wedding anniversary. I know I know...we are suuuuch an old married couple haha It should just be a good time off with friends and family.
I have a few more gifts to wrap and one more to purchase. A quick selfish trip to the mall and some cookies to bake...and I should be ready. I'm so not stressed this year its been really great. I'm so prepared I'm glad too because this weekends sickness festivities would have really put a wrench in my plans if things needed to get done. My house may be a mess but no ones going to see it...I'll deal with it after Christmas. For now...I'm just relaxing...doing some laundry so I don't look 'special' in front of family...and enjoying the season.
Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and some tasty cookies and a few extra calories and are able to enjoy all the wonderful people in your lives.
