Only one more sleep till Christmas! It makes me excited and sad at the same time. I hate for this time of year to come to an end. We do have three more parties to host, though, so we’ll be celebrating for a while longer. My family is coming Saturday for our Christmas, we’re hosting a library dinner and Christmas house tour January 5, and we are planning to have friends over for an evening in there somewhere. Maybe January 2. We’ll see how that works out.
The twins are ready! And excited!! They are counting down the “sleeps till Christmas.”
Everything is a great adventure for them this time of year. We are looking forward to having their family here for Christmas Day.
Here’s the menu for the week. I’m working on tomorrow’s menu today. Most will be ready or will just need reheated for our Christmas Day snacking and grazing. We gave up the big dinner a few years ago in favor of finger foods and it has made the day much more relaxed and easy-going which we enjoy a great deal.
