I've already seen many bloggers posting about their plans for Christmas and this holiday season. I'm still baffled that it's already December!
Like last year, we'll be driving down to South Carolina to spend Christmas with my side of the family this year. I am so excited! It's been since May since I saw my parents, and they've changed since then. They both joined Weight Watchers and have lost a good 20 pounds each. (I'm so proud of them). My mother also had a knee-replacement surgery. So much happens and I always feel so far away. I'm eager to actually be closer to them.
Aidan is super excited to see his cousins, Haleigh & Jack. Just today we decided what the heck, and we're going to join Sue and her family on The Polar Express. I'm sure it will be a blast!
We hope to see John & Erin and their kids, especially Addie, the newest edition to the family. :) (one day we'll actually make it to NC just to see you guys. ONE day!)
Of course we'll visit with Jen, Andy & Landon, too. Aidan and Landon always have so much fun together. I always leave wishing we lived closer.
We actually have no restful weekend left for this month. And December just started!
Saturday we're going to my oldest brother's in Michigan for our sibling get together. We may even have enough snow for the kids to do some sledding. :)
The evening before, this Friday, we're taking Aidan and Brennan to see Santa. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a good picture.
The following weekend we're finishing up any shopping that needs to be completed (I'm, I'd say, 90% finished), and we might take the boys to this Winter Wonderland at a nearby Rec Center. It looks like fun, and it would be something new for us.
Between now and then Aidan and I will bake cookies, watch Christmas movies, and do what feels like endless arts & crafts. He'll have a Christmas program at preschool, too.
It's such a busy month! I'm most looking forward to seeing my family. And being with my family here-the 3 men in my life.
What are your Christmas plans? Anything exciting planned for this month?

UGH-searching for an American Girl doll!
You are 90% done?!!? Go, girl! I am about 90% undone...lol! I think this weekend will be my big Christmas shopping time and hopefully I won't spend too much. I'll be at home at my parents' for Christmas, but I am so jealous-- I want to go south where it's warm! I'm sure you will have a fantastic time...but you can't move down to SC until we meet, okies? ;)
