A Long Winter's Nap

The other day my mother and I were in the back seat of the van, the kids with us, and Daddy driving.  Mom was reading The Night Before Christmas to the kids while we were waiting for Daddy.  When she got to the line, "And we all settled down for a long winter's nap," I literally broke out laughing.  Oh how wonderfully unrealistic that sounds!!!  I'm exhausted...yet with two little people in the house hyped up about Christmas it's hard to take a break (or my "break" is shopping...).

Last night was the kids 1st Camp Out by the Christmas Tree night.  I think they finally bit the dust around 10pm....Little Miss "C" first, followed by her brother who we found snoozing sprawled sideways between both of their pallets.  Yesterday was also our day to make and decorate Christmas cookies, as well as do some last minute shopping.

Today we joined Daddy's family for our Annual Christmas get-together.  Last year we combined this with Grandpa's big birthday celebration by renting a cabin in North GA.  This year we stayed closer to home and had a nice covered dish.  They're big GA Fans, hence the Georgia wear vs. Christmas attire.

The kiddos got some gifts...we are Spiderman  & Barbie happy this evening.  I keep getting pelted with Spidey's webs....
