The Holiday Plans.

Our holiday plans start up tomorrow, the first day my hubby has off of work for 10 days, we are looking very forward to spending so good quality time with family and friends, tomorrow we are packing up all the gifts to deliver to other people and making our rounds together to drop them off and wish everyone a very merry Christmas, we are planning on a movie night with the kids to end the day, on Christmas eve we are starting a new tradition for us and hopefully it will stick and hope we do it every year of making some kind of cut out cookies and decorate them together, i know the kids will love doing that and Eric and I love doing anything that makes the kids happy that we all do together, and we hope to take the kids sledding if its not to cold, sounds like it will be perfect for it.
Christmas day probably will be like every year the kids wake us up and as a family we go to the tree together, no one is allowed to snoop, the kids gather on our bed and we wait till everyone has used the bathroom and then well all hell breaks loose, paper,ribbon, bows, etc...EVERYWHERE, but its all fun, we usually hang out and spend time together for the rest of the day, then we will have a nice supper together.
After Christmas i really hope we get to visit my parents, for a few days, this of course is pending everyone's health, we can not risk taking "germs" to them as they are immune system weak from the chemo treatments.
I hope to get some good pictures with the kids and mom and dad. I know these kids miss their grandma and grandpa so much and they can't wait to give them big hugs and tell them how much they love them too.
I am looking forward to Christmas this year as my babies grow, i know they will start to remember these days and someday will look back and say remember that Christmas........it was so fun. just like they always are.
And the best part is I won't be changing a poopy diaper Christmas morning because there is NONE, I know Rhiannon potty trained 9 months ago but this will be the first Christmas in 9 years i have not had to change a dirty diaper, wahoo i will be toasting to that HUGE milestone. LOL.
