December

With Christmas right around the corner I haven't had a chance to do anything not Christmas related. The month of December for Manuel's family is like the month of August for my family. It seems that we have something to do every day on top of trying to get everything done for christmas.

We had a 3rd birthday party for Dylan, watched Hannah in the Downey Holiday Lane Parade, threw a 27th birthday party for Manuel where we had horrible hangovers the next day, went to Disneyland for Silvia & Erica's birthday, a sleepover for Erica's birthday, Aubree had her annual christmas party at daycare, we baked cookies, fudge and peanut brittle, went down to David and Denises to look at the Christmas Lights and have tried to put some shopping in here and there. The month isn't over and we have many more things to do...

We have spent the last month at my Grandparents house housesitting. While it's nice to have a break from my day to day life, it's hard to have 3 people living in a small room and out of laundry baskets.... Although the upside is that we do have our own place, a computer and tv. lol :) All enjoyable things.

Christmas is going to be a crazy one this year and we are leaving to Pheonix on the 26th for the night to celebrate my great-grandma's 88th birthday. Aubree and I will fly out on Saturday morning with my mom and fly home late Sunday night. I have to work on Monday :( Need to save my vacation days though!

HOpefully we will be spending the New Years with my family up in Crestline :) Happy Thoughts, Happy Thoughts! But first i need to focus on Christmas... I need to finish Christmas!

Hope all is well with you guys....
I'll write more when times are more calm. Lol

XO Have a Merry Christmas! <3
