The Reynoldz

Anna here again...

I am sure that someone out there is sharing the same mad rush that usually happens on the 22nd, 23rd (and usually the 24th) with me...

Right now, I am just about done with Athea's christmas stocking. This is one that has been in storage since she was a babe. Lloyd and Joanne shipped over our christmas bins earlier this year. It was so nice to have our x-mas stuff and ornaments to hang up and decorate the house with this year! When we took the bins down from the attic on Dec 1 it was like opening a 3 year time capsule. One of the things we found was a completed christmas stocking for Haidyn and one that had not been started for Athea. Well Athea is old enough now to know that she must have stocking... I started the project on Dec 1 and am just about done......

But... time is flying.

I thought I could work in it this morning but... needed to run to the grocery store to get ingredients for 3 pies for a christmas dinner we have been invited to this evening. It actually took me 3 trips to get all the things I needed. (yep I am a wee bit of a scatter brain)

I also had to wrap the gifts for said party which took a bit longer than anticipated because the girls wanted to help. (and these are the ONLY gifts I have wrapped so far.. I need to get to the other ones at some point =)

I made the pies again with the help of my girls.... they are in the oven as I type.. and now have to clean up after pie mess (this is still waiting for me.. oh well =)

I knew I needed to get a blog out for advent day 22 (even though it is really the 23rd for me, Eric worked late again last night and it did not get posted..)

plus I REAKKY should take a bath before the party.. (still no shower at the Reynolds only a bath)

So.... I Better go now and get back at the last minute x-mas details.. and you better go and get busy too..

oh well, I still have tomorrow.. (which is actually the 24th.. yikes where did the month go)
