Today started out great! Pete and I didn't get moving until 10:30am or so, and when we did it was one laughing moment after another. We weren't rushed to do anything and it was wonderful. Once we finally got out, we just knew with it being Christmas Eve, we were going to be in traffic, in line at the stores, and just in utter frustration. It was quite the opposite! I don't know if it was because we were in such a great mood or because it was a very light and easy day, but we encountered only the loveliest of people, got some great last minute gifts at incredible prices, and totally enjoyed being out together (ALONE! A very rare moment)! I'm so glad it worked out this way because I love shopping on Christmas Eve and Pete doesn't care for shopping on any day! He was a real trooper and really got into it by purchasing a few last minute gifts without any prodding from me! If he felt pressured into going, he never let on for a second!
Now that we're back home, it's time to prepare for tomorrow. We'll wrap the last of the gifts, watch some of our favorite Christmas classics, and begin cooking! I love this part of the day when everyone is home, the house smells good from the food that's being prepared, and there's lot's of chatter, laughter, and well, the occassional argument between siblings! Hmmm, before I get started I think I will take a little nap! We all know it is going to be a long night!
I hope you all have the most AMAZING holiday with your family and loved ones!
