3 Days Left

So it's been tough posting since family has been in town. The week has pretty much flown by. I'm not sure what we did as it seems like a blur. The beginning was filled with shopping and preparing for Christmas. I got 95% of it done in time. Christmas Eve was spent wrapping gifts. By the time midnight rolled around, we were too tired to finish wrapping all of Lukas's gifts. We decided that since he probably had enough to open, we didn't wrap his new clothes or some of his new books since he had already seen them anyways.

Since Lukas was already good at ripping paper, he was quite happy to open his gifts. Pictures will be coming. He received a lot of electronic toys. I tend to buy him a lot of mechanical or wooden toys. It's not that I dislike electronic toys- it's just that I am not as drawn to them. I'm glad that other people got him a few for Christmas to round out his toy collection. Pictures will be coming.

Since the grandparents were in town, we also took the opportunity to go see a movie. We got to see Sherlock Holmes which was quite enjoyable. I used to read Sherlock Holmes when I was in junior high, but I can't say that I remember much even though I read most Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's series. I did remember most of the characters. We also wanted to catch Avatar, but ran out of time.

Because I didn't post at all while family was in town, I only have 3 more days until my deadline which means that I'll need to post every day until New Years. Maybe I'll even post 2 in one day!
