Mend a couple of Benjamin's Superhero costumes he will be getting for Christmas
Make ornaments and gifts for family with Benjamin (and Jonathan, IF he cooperates... not likely)

We're so excited to be with my family for Christmas and January. Getting to that point is a whole other story, but I'm sure it will work out.
Hope y'all stay sane pre-Christmas and enjoy this truly wonderful, special time of year. :)

I'm such a list maker. Just writing down what I need to do helps me feel more in control. With a list like that you should be super in control, right:) If the glasses don't come remember I'm happy to mail them. Let me know how I can help this week. We're not leaving so it's a low key C-mas for me. Have your boys come play if you'd like.
wow- you can do it. that's a hefty list but everyday more will transfer to the done side, i love that. we are sooooooooooooooooooooo and SOOOO looking forward to being with y'all. it will be fabulous and you'll be set. I'M SO EXCITED!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS TIME!!!!
What's that's all I have to do as a mom?!!! ;0) Isn't it a wonder that mothers stay sane ... or perhaps we don't really and we think we do. hmmmm
Ahhh! That is a crazy week in prepping to leave - like Tessa, we're not leaving either (until after Christmas anyway).. so send your kids over to play for a bit if you want. :) I need to make a list too of stuff I need to do before Christmas comes, but we are at least done shopping for our kids! That feels good - I'm saving the wrapping till Christmas eve. :)
sounds like you're busy, but I know you can do it. I'm looking forward to seeing you!!! The anticipation of waiting for you guys to come is unbearable!!! :)
Hey busy girl! I got your ADORABLE Christmas letter yesterday in the mail. It totally made my day. :) Sounds like you guys have had one busy and rewarding year. I think we are going to miss each other this season; we are leaving AZ on the 6th. But hopefully we can catch up one of these days.
Merry Christmas!
Love ya!
Glad you guys made it out. I got your message and would be happy to check your mail for you. I left a message on the cell number we have for you, but the voicemail was garbled and I couldn't tell if it was you or not (don't know if you still have that number). Anyway, give me a call and let me know where to find the key. Have fun in St. Louis!
