What to post about?

I think I’ve shown you enough Christmas stuff and now I don’t really know what to post about? Not much going on here other than waiting for the big day, making lists of things I need at the grocery store and watching Christmas movies at night!

Only two more sleeps for us then we have our ‘family night’ on Christmas Eve. Kristen gets to open some gifts, my inlaws come over for dinner (always something simple and easy like nibbles and drinks and chili), then it’s off to bed to wait for Santa :-)  I’m super excited. Kristen still believes (I think, although she’s questioned it a little this year, but still wants to believe Santa is real, so I’m saying nothing to the contrary, especially not at this time of the year!). 

Kristen is 10 this year, and she was 6 the last time she sat on Santa’s knee. We had actually taken her to the mall in November that year to go to Inflatable Wonderland for her birthday, and Santa was already there! (she wasn’t exactly dressed to have pictures taken, but the line was short, so we went on up to say hello to Santa).  I actually forgot I had these photos on my computer.

I love this first picture, it’s like she’s asking  “are you really REAL?” 

I had plans to go to the mall this week and have a wander around with Kristen. I hardly ever go now during the year, but I haven’t managed to get there this week either. Kristen’s friend Emily had a sleep over last night so we didn’t get up and out early (I don’t want to go to the mall later when it will probably be way too crowded for my liking), and I have no plans to go tomorrow. I have to make potatoes and chili and cinnamon rolls.

I’ll try to post one more time before Christmas Day. Hope everyone is ready for the big day or enjoying last minute preparations.
