The Count Down

With it being Christmas week, the count down begins.

Along with the count down, the final preparations are being made.

Our family is big on gift giving because it's fun. We love to give each other presents. That means a lot of wrapping and shopping, but not necessarily spending a lot of money.
Our family is also big on eating so we are planning just what we'll be making for the end of this week.

We are hoping to play more games and sing more Christmas carols this year. We also are hoping that everyone (mainly the Wisconsin sisters and the Mille Lacs brother and families) make it here as there is now, of course, wintery weather possible during the peak travel time.

So we'll see what happens and be ready for anything!

And - really - even if we're not ready, no one cares. No one will remember.
What is important is hanging out together and enjoying our time.We are really good at doing that!
