Christmas Update

Things have been insane around here! With trying to figure out surgery plans, finishing the Christmas shopping and cards, entertaining a toddler with bronchitis, and trying to keep myself from eating another entire bag of Cheetos I've been going non-stop! I thought I had all of the shopping done last week, but then Dave reminded me that he needed to get gifts for his employees. Thankfully I wrapped up every last bit of shopping this past Sunday and finished wrapping the last gift for Savannah (not including Santa) today as it was delivered yesterday! So with 45 presents under our tree, we're D.O.N.E.!!!

This isn't the greatest picture, but I continue my philosophy of not needing a tree skirt with so many presents! That's a lot of shopping and wrapping!

Dave has been a huge help these past few weeks. Although being quite overwhelmed at work, he has continued to come home each night and just take over with Savannah after dinner. He has also been in charge of our elf's travels. Here is the latest location. Savannah enjoys finding him each morning, although sometimes he does forget to move.

On the baby front, I've actually started to feel better. :) Yesterday was so beautiful here in Charlotte so Savannah and I took advantage of the weather and went for a long walk. I guess I've been on the treadmill too long and forgot how hilly our neighborhood is . . . plus that I'm pregnant so last night my calves were quite sore. At least I got a good workout! Then this morning my arms were throbbing from doing over an hour of raking yesterday too. Savannah wanted to play outside so I had to make use of that time by doing some much needed yard work. It was an awesome day and today is almost just as warm!! I went walking at 6:30 in shorts and short sleeves this morning. Craziness.

Well, I'm off to make use of the rest of my WEE school time.
