Holiday plans abound :) Yesterday we went to Disneyland for most of the day. My goal was to do all the holiday stuff there, but I pooped out around 4:15pm. Someone was whiny and tired (and it wasn't the short one or the tall one of the family). We did do cookie decorating; family picture in front of the castle; lots of pictures in front of Holiday decorations; rode Small World Holiday; visited Santa Goofy; and bought loads of Christmas stuff, so it's not like we sat around all day. We'll go back next week or the week after for the parade and fireworks with snow on Main Street. Plus, I'd like to get back over to Santa's Beach Blast at California Adventure if we get a chance.

Today we finished putting up the rest of the decorations and decorated our Christmas trees. Tabitha did the tree on the fireplace in the living room while Chris and I did the one in the dining room. I'm waiting for Tabitha to fall asleep because I'm going to start bringing in some gifts to wrap. If I don't start now I will never be done this year. I still need to buy 4 gift cards, my sister's gift, 1 gift for a 7yo boy, 1 gift for a 3yo boy, a book for a book exchange, 2 ornaments for an ornament exchange, 1 ornament for a friend, more for Chris and that's all I can think of at the moment. I put a moratorium on errands today because I needed to and if I'm tired of running all over the place, I know my child and husband have more than met their limit. I think I'll go out by myself either tomorrow or Sunday morning and then Tabs and I will go out just us on Monday and Tuesday while Chris does school work. I also need to shop for all my baking ingredients so Tabitha and I can make candy to give away to friends. It sounds like a lot is going on, but it's less than last year :)
