Kids went to see Santa yesterday at the mall or should I say Owen went to see Santa! Of course what he asked for is not what he will be getting! We should know by now that this always happens! He asked for a Furby Boom and NFL Gameday. Lucky for him one of the items was on sale in the ads this week and were able to squeeze it into the budget!
Besides the gifts and the shopping we set our final plans on where and when we will visit family which I am most excited about! This Sunday Kay and mike will be coming here. Christmas Eve will be spent having dinner with some good friends followed by church service. Christmas morning we will be home to welcome Santa and open our gifts. That afternoon we will travel to my dad and Holly's and Thursday we will continue north to my Mom and Tom's for Ghiloni Christmas. I am especially looking forward to seeing my mom as I have missed her SO much lately and I just love being up there this time of the year with all the snow! Ghiloni Christmas is always very important to me being an only child. Having my step brother and sister inlaw there and my nephews is really comforting and a connection of extended family I really cherish.
The kids also get so excited to travel and visit this time of year and we r lucky they r seasoned travelers. Of course I always love seeing their faces light up opening their gifts. We don't buy them a whole lot throughout the year besides birthday and Christmas so it's always a nice treat to spoil them a little :).
It is always a great time of reflection. We are so lucky to be blessed with the people in our lives both family and friends. We are fortunate to have a comfortable life and be able to provide the way we do for our family. We are blessed to have such wonderful children and to all be happy and healthy! Here's to wishing u all happy and healthy holiday season and a wonderful new year!!
