fun festivities

It's Sunday.  And as I start the week off, I'm excited because we have a lot of fun traditions planned for this week.  I love, love, love this time of year!  

• decorate the cookies that are baked already (thanks to pre-planning...) for today's cookie exchange.
• wrap presents for the adoptive family through work (we usually choose a few families that have been struggling due to paying for medical bills and try to make Christmas happen for them.)
• open houses and holiday parties
• making gingerbread houses at preschool
• caroling with my MOPS group and kids (should be interesting!  everyone get ready for Charlie's "jingle boys")
• a visit to the Christmas decorated train park
• driving around to look at the valley's best Christmas light displays with hot chocolate
• a hair appointment where I plan to add some red highlights to get in the holiday spirit!
