Christmas Vacation

My first day of Christmas Vacation.  I spent today buying and wrapping presents.  I have been so busy with school and activities associated with schools that I have not had time to shop until today.  I managed to get presents for everyone on my list and get those presents wrapped in one day!  I love this time of year (at least once school is out).  I love thinking of what to buy for the people I love and deciding what they might like.  I love wrapping presents while I listen to Christmas music.  I love the chance to get together with family and friends.  Plus this year, I get to watch two baby girls as they experience their first Christmas.  I can't wait for Scott, Beth, and Elli to be in Prairie Grove.  They will spend the next 5 days in Hot Springs and then have 5 days here.  I won't feel like Christmas has begun until they get here.  I am so thankful for the family I have.  So, I'll just spend the next few days with the family that is here, going to Christmas Eve services, and waiting for the rest of my family to be in Prairie Grove.  Here's hoping everyone has a wonderful Christmas.
