Where did the time go?

Wow! There went my trying to blog everyday! I guess thats what happens when Christmas is just around the corner. Things have been a little hectic I guess you could say. Got finals done at school thank goodness. Ended up with a 3.7 GPA!! Go me lol  Kids are almost out of school for winter recess and I have been trying to get christmas shopping done and presents wrapped. It seems like the kids are not getting much this year but I think it's because they are getting older and things are more expensive. I sure hope they like what they are getting though. I know I am excited to play it!
 This tuesday we have our first family Christmas party. I am excited and looking foward to it even though I know I will be doing most of the work for it. Christmas Eve is our tradition to go to Lisa's and eat dinner and then open up gifts. On our way home we always stop at Layton park to see the lights. This is a fun family tradition we have had for about 10 years I think.
 Every Christmas Eve the kids get a new pair of pajamas to wear and slippers. My mom started this tradition with us kids and I enjoyed it every year so I decided to start it with mine. So far they seem to enjoy it.
 Now I am off to do some Christmas baking. Making some golden graham smores, sugar cookies, banana nut bread, rice krispy treats and some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. YUMMO!!!
