Keep the Kids out of the presents!!

Shopping is done and presents are all wrapped. Jord actually has mine wrapped and under the tree this year, he normally is busy wrapping and we are waiting for him before we can unwrap. Enjoyed church on Sunday....Rusty, Mary and the boys were there. Hallie was not feeling great and stayed with Grandma. It was great seeing them, the kids were very excited to see faces from home. We are all counting the months, the kids get more anxious as the days pass. Jord and I are excited, scared and sad all at the same time. Janice and Michael are coming for Christmas Eve and it will be just the four of us for Christmas dinner. So, the prime rib comes out with lots of good side dishes. Jord and Janice requested homemade chili for Christmas Eve---this is what my Mom always made for Christmas Eve. I ended up baking cookies all evening on Sunday, made homemade candy most of the day Saturday trying to get ready for the holidays. I put things off and then I pay for it by having to get it done in three days. I managed to talk to Uncle Don, Uncle Jim and Cynthia in between the candy making. My uncles were emotional when I told them we were coming home. I hadn't told any of the Aunts/Uncles on my side and figured I needed to do that before they heard it from someone else. Creston and Kat are both doing inside pitching practice during the cold months. It's nice that they have a heated indoor facility so they can practice most of the year. We have managed so far to not get all the sickness that is going around, I hope we make it through the holidays without any of us getting sick. Merry Christmas to everyone!!!! I will have Jord post pic's after Christmas.
