Bee wasn't home today, he was at my parents having a Christmas sleepover.
We spent the day finishing our shopping!! That's right we are done. We only had stocking to finish up but they are complete now.
Today is my Grandma's birthday so we had an impromptu birthday dinner at Arby's. Surprise! It was a nice time but way different than the usual dinner that we have. This is also our fourth birthday celebration this month. I've decided that is enough December birthdays.
After dinner we went to a live nativity that is put on by the LDS church. There is live sheep and a donkey. Bee really liked the sheep. We attend annually and often it is crazy cold. This year was perfect. it was a bit chilly but not so cold that we were shaking. It was even snowing just a tiny bit which made for a nice effect. I love going to the nativity every year. It helps me to remember the reason for the season and really get me excited for Christmas.
When we got home we read our story and the kids jumped in bed. We adults turned on "It's a wonderful life," and assembled our stockings. It will be nice not to have to find time to get them organized when we are bouncing between our families homes. Maybe we are just extra organized this year but I hope we can get this done and out of the way before Christmas Eve, every year. Fingers crossed.
I am getting more excited for Christmas to be here in three days but I think I will get more excited as my kids get older. Bee know how to open presents but he doesn't really know what is in store for December 25. Next year he will be overcome with excitement I'm sure.
