Advancing towards Christmas.
Step 1: Decorate the house with outside lights, two Christmas trees and poinsettias. Done.
Step 2: Buy all the cards and presents for everyone, including ourselves. Mom gave each of us $200.00 to shop for anything we want, I will wrap everything and put all the goodies under the tree later today. She loves seeing everything Christmas day. Michael and I spent all day shopping yesterday and we are...Done.
Step 3: Enjoy friends. I have been able to meet and write to so many dear friends this week. Natalie, Oliver and Winnie arrived after dark last evening to see the decorations and to celebrate Winnie's birthday. Cake was involved. The kids were so excited to be out into the world after dark. Our neighborhood has lots of decorated houses so they took a tour before going home. I will never forget when Oliver walked in the door and spotted the big living room tree. He stopped in his tracks and said with awe, "Wow!" Done!
Step 4: Painted toe nails and waxed eyebrows. Will be completed today. Mom and I are spending quality time together and will emerge with Christmas red toe nails! Almost done!
Step 5: Food shopping. Scheduled to begin one of two Christmas food shopping runs on Monday. Future goal.
Step 6: Welcome Kimberly and William at the airport and bring them into our holiday magic (or madness!). Once they arrive, Christmas will really begin. Nothing but cooking, family and fun ahead. The reason for all of the steps above!
