Shopping is done!

I have officially finished all of the Christmas shopping! Now all that's left is the wrapping. I am currently beating Chris in this endeavor, 18-6. We still have alot remaining.
Tomorrow is the big program at school! Caris is super excited. She has been practicing her songs at bedtime each evening. She always says, Mommy-you do the motions. But what are the motions? Its dark and I can't see what she is doing. Our neighbor Brenda brought over some banana nut bread this evening and later while we were eating dinner, McKenna suggested that we take something to her in return. I replied that I was already trying to think of something. Caris piped up with...maybe we could take her some cornbread. Its not as funny when you type it, but it totally cracked me up.
McKenna had her ears pierced last Friday and was so brave. She chose her birthstone and they look great. We went to Sweet & Sassy and the girls were very nice and patient.
Guess that's it! Have a great evening!

Shopping...

After dropping Caris off this morning, I spent a fun day with my friend Mindy. We had a great time...roaming the aisles of Target and then we headed off to the mall. The mall was flooded with kids~they were performing Christmas songs in front of Macy's. I was able to get several names crossed off of our list, but it seems we still have a ton of gifts to buy. Then we headed back to pick up the girls. It was freezing when we came out of the mall!!! Thanks friend for a great day!!
I have to get started on cards and wrapping gifts. I told Chris that my goal was not to wrap all of the gifts on Christmas Eve! On Saturday, Mom and I are going to finish up the last batch of coasters, which means I have to make a trip to Home Depot before then. It seems that time is running out before school gets out!
I also have a box taunting me to open it...from my SS on Simply Obsessed. I can't wait to open it and see the goodies inside. I have really slacked on scrapbooking the last couple of months...its gotten so hard since school started. The days just get away from me!! I'll have a ton of pics from the holidays to scrap, including our upcoming trip to Vegas!!! So excited!!
Hope everyone has a great day!!

Can't wait to see our Huskers in the Gator Bowl! Go Big Red!!

Happy Birthday McKenna!!!

Today is McKenna's 7th birthday. It is hard to believe that so much time has gone by! She is an amazing little girl~smart, funny, kind-hearted and generous! Chris and I are blessed to call her daughter. She brings joy and challenges, lots of laughs and even more love to our lives. And she is a great big sister! Over the past few weeks, Caris has been calling her McKenna instead of Sissy...and it is driving McKenna crazy. She said to Caris, "that's not my name! My name is Sissy!" Too funny~I guess they're both growing up! So, my sweet girl~Happy Birthday! We can't wait to see what the next year has in store for you!! We love you so much!!

Have a great day everyone!!
