Unlike when anyone else is coming to visit, we haven't been doing any significant cleaning... I did do about 6 loads of laundry yesterday... I don't think Santa really cares, not the way the rest of the family does, when there's no clean clothes to put on....
We went to Lily's class Christmas Tea this morning. Very cute, despite my girl was too shy to perform, so she sat next to me in a knee high chair and we watched her classmates as they proudly stood up and performed "12 days of Christmas". They had hand gestures and positions to represent each day... Grandpa John, Grandma Sandee, Aunt Connie, Daddy and Mom were all there, to watch her shyly sit next to me, and look down at her feet when we'd ask why she wasn't singing. We already had a pretty tragic week at school, so I didn't really care. We were there, and that is all that was important.
Christmas is only 3 days away... and this year, we didn't even decorate the tree -- I mean, at all. Other than a couple strands of lights... which Lincoln and Lucy CAN NOT leave alone. So, I don't know what I'm thinking with my 'great idea' of decorating the tree Christmas Eve... leaving the kids a note from Santa saying something along the lines of, "....thanks for the cookies, and I really like when my friends have beautifully decorated Christmas trees... I understand why yours wasn't decorated -- because of Lincoln and Lucy, but I couldn't leave without spreading the Christmas spirit..." she would totally think that was awesome... and it won't be many more (if any?) years that she believes... since I have all my presents wrapped now... I really can't think of a good excuse to not do it...
I finished my Christmas shopping today... so really -- I do have a couple more things to wrap, not enough to say I won't have time to decorate the tree. Tonight after the kids go to bed, I have to finish making my nephew's tie blanket. I think the fleece he picked, with the solid color back is going to look great. I'll post a pic. :)
I have two little people, at my feet... begging to get in my lap and are needing my 100% attention right now, so this will have to complete today's post.
Three french hens....
