A Nice Saturday

Saturday morning I knew I would have to get up early, and get the girls up too. We were going to drive to Grandma Donna's house and from there, the four of us would go to the Christmas tea @ Church. ALOT of work goes into all the beautiful tables that are put together, the food, the speakers and the singing! We sat with my mom, two of her friends, and my two sistahs. After we made our way back to "farm country", east L.A. or whatever you want to call where we live, we had about 45 minutes before we had to leave again. Joel's holiday work party was not very far from where we were just earlier that morning!

It was fun, and well planned to keep the kids occupied. I must say, I love my little gift that I came home with, and Joel got a nice fuzzy foot massager-not too shabby! The kids had fun with the Christmas tree pinata. An all around busy, but fun day!

This afternoon, after our poor Christmas tree had been bare this past week-we finally got the lights and ornaments on! Hooray! I think it's nice just having all the lights out and staring at the pretty christmas lights-very peaceful and brings back fond memories of doing that in our family room growing up as a kid. I'm sure I was a pain on "where we should put the tree in our living room or fam. room" back then or how the decorations should go-I haven't changed one bit since!

Even though I knew Santa didn't really come and I was too old, I still liked leaving a note and cookies out for him. Why not still play that game, I guess. It was fun.

Now, as the twins would say, "MerRy ChRiMaS!"
