11 Days Till Christmas

I love Christmas.. but I can't wait till it is over!  Picture Britton on the filthy floor of Fred Meyer crying because I didn't give in to his latest whim. (before we went into the store we totally had that 'talk' that you can show me what you would like for Christmas, just don't ask for it) And for all of you that know Britton, he is not quiet!  I just kept on walking, looking back once in a while to make sure that he was still there (not really, I can hear that he is still there and I was just looking back so that I looked like a loving parent).  Finally he comes our way... at what point do I get a Psychologist?  I am not kidding!  This kids works it.. maybe I am the one in need of a Psychologist.  And a little disclamer on his loudness, I have finally blamed God for why he is so loud.. he can't help it, that is the voice he was given at birth!  So from now on the kids stay home with Dad when I go out shopping.. I am done!!
On to Christmas Cards.. I am such a fan of snail mail for Christmas.. Thanks to all who have sent out the cards!! I think the Cards from Friends and Family are the best gifts ever!!
I took the Twins to Camden's School for there Christmas Presentation.  Camden did a wonderful job singing his songs. Not to sure why they teach those kids songs they have never heard, or will ever sing again.. but what ever.. it was fun.  Then music teacher totally gives the shpeal that you should stay for the whole presentation of all the grades and 'support the school' by not leaving after your kids of done.  I am going to arrive 1 hour early next time so I can get a front row seat so I can leave.. I am not kidding.
Happy Counting down to Christmas. We made a chain for the kids to count down till Christmas Eve.. I not sure if it was more for me!

Britton loud? What do you mean, he is a quiet, shy little angel!
Sounds like a fun time shopping! Just makes you love the holiday season doesn't it!
Thanks for the story though, it was fun to read. We can't wait to see you guys in a few weeks.

If Britton and Jane got married we'd have problems!
