Time is Flying!

Can you  believe it!?

I can't.

Eleven days.

Time is flying, my friends.

Elfie is running out of places to hide.

Beating.

All the presents are wrapped and under the tree.

We have had to threaten the boys with

giving their gifts away if the pick them up.

Why, you ask?

In years past, presents have "accidentally"

been ripped open a bit after having small hands all over them repeatedly.

Oops, it ripped.

Maybe I can peek in and see what it is.

Catch my drift?

Everything usually seems so rushed during the holidays,

but for some reason...maybe because I'm not working...things seem more calm.

I finished Christmas shopping so early this year,

and as the presents were bought or came in the mail,

they were wrapped and placed under the tree.

Typically Ryan and I rush at the last minute wrapping all the gifts at once.

I am so excited to have our little family all together

for Christmas Eve and Christmas day this year.

It only happens every other year,

and when it does,

it's a very special time.

Cannot wait.

Know what else is exciting?

Ryan and I are leaving for New York in 12 days.

Awesome.

  

On a random note, guess who is doing a guest post at

Tatertots and Jello

this Thursday?!

Yep...ME!!!

How cool is that!?

I was completely honored when she asked me

back in October to do a Christmas tutorial on her blog.

Be sure to check it out!

Lots more ahead this week.

I am volunteering at Carter's holiday party at school,

we have Ryan's work Christmas party on Friday,

and a kid free weekend full of newlywed fun.

Is it really only Tuesday?

Happy Tuesday, friends!
