Counting down!

I cannot believe that I am actually finished with wrapping all of our gifts!  I think that this is the first year that I haven't been wrapping seconds before we've been opening our gifts!  It has been a busy couple of weeks going nonstop but I think that this is the first year that I am actually ready days before Christmas Eve!  I just finished packing all of the gifts that go to Little Rock with us and am finishing the afghan that I am making for BJ.  I could actually finish it off now and it would be fine but think I will continue to crochet on it until either I run out of yarn or time!  I have one more skein of yarn so we shall see what I run out of first.  I'm thinking yarn! 

Mom and I ventured out to the Neighborhood Market to finish up some last minute grocery shopping for our Christmas Day dinner and also picked up a few things for Christmas Eve snacks!  I am sure that we have forgotten something but will just make do I suppose if that does in fact happen!  Went to Grubs Uptown for supper tonight.  Was surprised that it wasn't more crowded but by the time we left, it was pretty full.  Just did not want to think about cooking supper and cleaning up tonight......well, I actually kind of feel that way every night! 

Ryan and I went over to Mom and Dad's house this afternoon and hauled their two sets of patio furniture into the garage and into the attic.  I wish I had a picture of how Dad had us stack everything but that may happen later!  It is literally stacked floor to ceiling!  Just hope that he doesn't have to get to his hot water heater or the electrical circuit breaker box! 

I was glad that I had opted to finish up my shopping yesterday.  It was crazy trying to get it all done before and after Craig's party at work but after seeing the traffic today....am glad that I suffered through it yesterday!  I'm sure that it will be a nightmare from now until after Christmas. 

Guess I will work on this afghan again.  Think  it will be a very busy and hectic weekend so may try to get to bed early tonight.  Yeah, right!
