Excitement

Mackenzie and Lauren are coming over for supper tonight. Roast Beast with mashed potatoes and roasted brussel sprouts. Presents (just a little one for each of us...tomorrow is the BIG ONE) and then we are watching Warrior. I've been anxiously awaiting the realease of that movie. Mom & I went to town this morning. I got the boys Christmas pj's and a Noah's Ark bath toy for them. I also got Zumba for the wii since it is a pain to find a class if you aren't a member of the Y or another health club. The base is 25+ min away so that isn't a good option either.

Alas, the Tran-Siberian Orchestra concert is tomorrow. We will be leaving around 7 in the morning to head to Micah and Brandon's. We will eat lunch and exchange stockings then head to Austin for the concert. We've been wanting to go for the last several years. We bought the tickets for the whole family as Christmas presents. We decided a few years ago that giving a Christmas memory is far better than giving "stuff".

Well, I better get the roast beast started.

Glad yall are having a great Christmas time. I am sure the concert was amazing!!!! We had Christmas with kids and grandkids a couple of weeks ago. Shaun and Brienne are in Iowa now. So, we had a great weekend on the 10th of baking, Christmas parade, eating a good meal, opening presents and playing cards until 4 in the morning. It was crazy, but like you said "lots of memories". I sent you a Christmas card and the pic of the kids was taken before the parade. Joe pulled a trailer with his 51, so all were in the parade. So, Joe and I will have a quiet Christmas. Timmy and Jaidyn are coming to stay next week. Have a great Christmas and will talk to you soon.
