Merry Christmas!

We’re deep in the middle of preparations.... Little ones already all strung out.... LOL! Sebastian's been wrapping all his treasures up and regifting everyone. Broken buzz light year (Sebastian lives and breathes super heroes), a very loved tigger etc... He is so excited he can’t' stop talking. Now I’m not a morning person and need a little bit of space when I first wake up, when I'm really tired ,I really need that space. Well I'm really tired today and he just couldn't stop. I asked Sebastian Can you please stop talking for a while and he says "Can't I just say one more thing?" and then proceeded to just ramble on forever.  Calgon....

So we're making cookies doing some cooking and cleaning. Then some prettying up for our candle lit church service tonight.  Nadia was Mary in the church’s play this year. They pick the older kids to play the main roles.  She's a good sport. 

Our pictures should be interesting this year. Yesterday when Nadia was watching (supposedly) them downstairs while we wrapped the mass amounts of gifts we had to wrap. Well Ollie got into my craft supplies and painted his face red.... It's not coming off... Sebastian has a huge bruise (fell off bed while wrestling with Ike and a scratch on his face (cat).) Francesca also has some small pics from the cat.  Some deserved and some the cat does to wake her up in the middle of the night....  None of us want the cat in our room at night he's so annoying! He's a great cat really cuddly and loving but at night ugh!!!! The tree has NO and I mean NO decorations on the bottom between the cat and Ollie it's been robbed bare.  LOL!  We are so not picture perfect people!!!

Here are a few snapshots of our holiday so far. Nadia in the play and our party with Chris's family. Chris in cased his brother's home depo gift card in orange jello that got a big laugh and we have the best yankee swap gift thanks to Deb and Mike with our new ear wax pickers....

Chris's Dad He's a great guy the apple didn't fall far from the tree(well and Chris's mom is really wonderful as well so I guess Dad is only half of the apple! I'm so lucky!)
