Holiday madness almost over...

This last couple of weeks has been crazy for us as I'm sure it has been for all of you. We are still slowly getting settled into our home but kind of put it on hold due to getting ready for Christmas.
Christmas was the best Christmas I've had in years. We went to some great Christmas parties and had a blast and I made an awesome meal including honey glazed ham, scalloped potatoes from scratch, green bean casarole, rolls and salad. I was very proud of myself, not only because I made a meal from scratch but because while cooking this meal I was watching 2 additional kids and doing gingerbread houses and such... but the best part was Nathan came down to spend time with us! Nathan, Khaliah and I made cookies for santa and left carrots out for the reindeer. Dustin and I didn't really do anything for each other since we had just bought a house, but we did get some family gifts of a kitten and puppy. The girls of course were loaded up with stuff from us, santa, Nathan and Melinda and grandpa. Jaysen was of course spoiled again this year as well. We got to pick him up Christmas early afternoon.
Now I'm back on the house decorating planning. All I can think about is painting walls, finish carpentry and furniture. Every room I'm in I can't stop picturing what its going to look like. AAHHH, its driving me crazy! lol.
I hope all are enjoying your holidays as much as I'm enjoying mine. Have a great New Year!
