Aaahhh, the actual countdown! This is no longer the fun paper chain countdown, this is the real deal! It is 9am Christmas eve. I still have to go to the grocery store to get stuff to take to Mom's tonight, Karen's tomorrow, wrap more presents, contemplate going to buy the stuff that my kids requested YESTERDAY, clean up my house so we're not embarrassed when Santa gets here, consider the fact that cereal for breakfast on Christmas morning is not very festive and feel guilty that I don't have piles of cinnamon rolls on my stove like Darilyn or stacks of cookies like Merilee, oh shoot, that reminds me, we haven't made cookies for Santa yet, and while our santa is not particularly fond of cookies, it will devastate Emma if we miss that detail. I love this craziness, but just hope that there is enough time left in the countdown to get it all done.
12, 11, 10, 9, .... gotta go!

I'm right there with ya! We are on our way to brave Target right now!
I was doing the same thing after work yesterday. I can't believe we pulled it off.
Don't you love Christmas day though when all the craziness is done and you just get to kick back and enjoy it all, even if you didn't get to bake your cookies.
Ah, but we did bake cookies and my kids didn't even care that the dough came out of a plastic container. And yet it was about the second thing Emma said Christmas morning. "Look, Santa ate some of his cookies, but not all of them."
Is your camera broken? It has been a long time since i've seen any pictures posted.
Hahahaha! I was totally crazy all day. We went to St. George to finish our shopping on Sunday. Then, I cooked and cleaned all day on Monday, since friends were coming over. So worth it and fun!
