There's only.....

5 more days 'til Christmas!!! YAAAY! I love Christmas! But seriously, who DOESN'T love Christmas?!?! Other than the whole decorating for the holidays, you know what my favorite thing about this time of year? WRAPPING PRESENTS! I know, I'm crazy, but the other day I was complaining to my mom that since we agreed with our families that we weren't to buy anyone presents, I had been kinda sad because I was going through gift wrapping withdrawals. Until yesterday. Because yesterday INSTEAD of going up to the office (yay!) I went to my bosses house and wrapped presents for our adopt a family family. I think I wrapped over 30 presents and let me tell you! I think I got my wrapping fix until next Christmas rolls around! I was there from 9 in the morning til 3:30 in the afternoon, and then we took them to our family's house. So, I pretty much was gone all day like I would have been if I had gone to the office, but I had much more fun, and I got to wear sweats!! Woohoo! Our little family was so cute too! The 2 kids and their mom were so excited and they all were so greatful. The kids even did a little speech about what Christmas is all about and they sang us a little song! It was so cute! Call me lame, but it made me all warm and fuzzy inside! :)

Speaking of Christmas and work! I only have to work a day and a half this week (Monday and Tuesday) and then I get to be on vacation until Jan. 5th!!! I'm so excited!! There's lots of crap I need to get done, so it'll be nice just to be able to run around and get things done without having to worry about work! This will be the first Christmas in a looong time that neither the hubby or I will have had to work on Chistmas Eve which is super exciting! This year we are going to The Stovall's Christmas party (which we also haven't done in a long time, due to the having to work) and Taylor is going to dress up as Santa for all the little kids! (Another "perk" to being the only ones without kids!) Not to worry! I will be sure to take lots of pictures and post them on here for all of you to see! :) I wonder what he's going to do when the little ones start to cry, especially Cady b/c I know she will cry!

Okay, since I have this new toy (my new laptop w/ webcam) I am inclined to play with it... So I took a picture of the situation in which I am blogging right now, or part of it. I am laying in bed, sandwiched between Taylor and both of the dogs.Okay, so the webcam picture didn't turn out quite as well as I'd hoped, but you get the picture... (Hahaha! get it??) :) Well, now that I have woken them both up I think it's time to let them out to go potty! Adios!!!
