Things are crazy!!!

I am actually more ready for Christmas then I usually am by this time of the year. Yay me! Every single present that needs to be wrapped is wrapped (I just need to pick up one more for Bailey). This is HUGE for me... I'm usually up late late late on Christmas Eve wrapping while Danny is hmm... well, you parents will know but I can't say because my kids read the blog ;)

So all but one present is bought and the bulk of the food is bought. I just love Christmas... it's my favourite time of the year. I'm so thankful that I can still experience the magic through my children's eyes. I love when they see Santa downtown... the way they run to him and hug him tight... the excited chatter as they detail their wish lists for year... the wonder as they run back to tell me every single thing he said and every move he made. I love watching their faces lit up by the lights of the christmas tree (even if we did turn our lights on late this year).

I just love it. Usually I love the weather too... especially since moving back to the colder climate. It's so funny to see everyone's photos of snow at this time of year. I just looks so weird to me. Normally we'd be having some fantastic warm weather with sunshine and lollipops. This year though it. is. wet! We're in a pretty bad drought here though (level 4 water restrictions) and we're having enough rain to actually make somewhat of a difference for the farmers... so I can definitely be thankful for that. I do miss having the kids running around with a sprinkler in the back yard though.

I think I sat down for an hour today and then we were off, out of the house and BUSY! Now I just need to finish up the new website for vibe and the new website for urban pulse... FINALLY bought templates! I should be able to finish that up in between baking batches of christmas cookies with the kids tomorrow, shouldn't I? Ha! Yeah right...

Wishing you ALL a very merry christmas and a fantabulous new year!
