Completed this week:
1. Neighbor Gifts (not all completely delivered but we will finish on Sunday, will share pics later)
2. Teacher Gifts (jars with huge gumballs plus a giftcard - a huge hit- and an idea I totally stole from a friend)
3. Wrap Gifts for Al's Employees (50 scented candles tied with cute ribbon - should have taken a picture)
4. Mail all holiday packages (for a total of 4 post office trips this week - 2 of those were for package pick up)
5. Christmas Cards - yippee - finally in the mail
6. Class gifts for Carter's preschool class
7. Chaperoned Carter's holiday party. His teacher outdid herself again - tons of crafts, games and gingerbread house decorating. It was so cute.
8. Finish purchasing all stocking stuffers and gifts for Allen
9. All grocery menus planned and grocery shopping completed for next week
We've managed to have some fun too: 2 playdates with friends, getting free Jamba Juices twice during the grand opening of the store near our house, Girls Night Out for me to dinner and the Forgotten Carols, Al's work party, and of course our DOC.
Al and I have a stack of movies to get us through the wrapping party this weekend and we're having friends over to watch the bowl game tomorrow night. It feels so nice to be done!!

I am so jealous that you are all done! I went to the mall today and it was insane. I am getting very close though. But tomorrow I have to dedicate to my son for his birthday! Which includes a bacon breakfast and Byu football for a pizza dinner! Go Cougs!
I love the gumball idea! I'll be copying you next year. I gave the girls teacher & all their little classmates a gift this year too. And guess what??? I was the only parent that did this!!! I was super shocked, I totally thought it was a normal thing to do.
Glad you have so much checked off you list! Hope it makes next week even Merrier!!!
We're essentially done, too, except for the boys having to go do Christmas Tree Flyers (I'm sure Al doesn't miss that)--today they did it for 4 hours in POURING RAIN!
The Polar Express Santa picture is too cute!
You amaze me! You get so much done I can't believe it!I finished our Christmas gifts and stockings but I didn't do much more than that because I get too stressed out on top of handling the kiddos; maybe you should post a blog on how to manage a busy life as a mom and still keep your cool :), cuz I'd love to hear some ideas!
where do you get all your energy
Merry Christmas!!! I am done too - my crab dip for tonight is in the oven...I do have enough ingredients for another batch of cookies...but...I think I'm DONE. You have been a busy mama!
cute, cute, cute! I loved the return address stamp on your cards...seriously, that was super cute.
you are super woman! You inspire me! Such a fun December for you!
