Christmas Day is a week away! I can not believe it.. This year something is different. Maybe it's because I actually finished my shopping early. Maybe it's because we bought our tree later. Something is different... I wish I could put my finger on it. It just doesn't feel like Christmas. Presents under the tree. Plans made for Christmas to do with the kids.. Could it be that the snow a couple of weeks ago actually felt more like Christmas then instead of now.
Alex celebrates his birthday with his friends tonight with a sleepover. Cake is in the oven. And all the preparations to make homemade pizza is ready to go. I still can't believe he is 11 years old. In a year he will be in young men.. no freakin way! That would mean Sebastian would be right behind him...I am so not ready for this.
My mom was watching my Niece Ashlyn last night and I thought I had to work so she ended up back at our house. It was quite amusing to all the kids and myself. She would go play with the kids then come and find me.. Up up...raising her hands. So I cooked with her on my hip..Which I haven't done is so long. I have to give it to those doing it now. I often hear those young mom's say about how they don't know how I do the busy schedule of teenagers and the 5 kids. But I so would do it over trying to take a toddler around again. Not that I didn't love having Ashlyn around I just realized how much more complicated life would be. The kids however decided I needed to have another child so they could play with them like Ashlyn. I think they forgot diapers, naps, babysitting for mom etc...
We went to pick up the Christmas tree and as the kids got in the car My daughter yelled out to the woman that helped us pick out our tree. I LOVE YOU! This lady was so touched she started laughing and said I love you too. (reminded me of the game kidd kraddock plays on people) she walked to the car and said all her kids were grown and gone and that she only sees them about once a year and that she doesn't hear that very often.. Eve now decided she needs to get her something for Christmas. My daughter has a big heart. To bad she doesn't have a big wallet to go with it.
Time is ticking cake out of the oven time to go pick up kids..
I sent Sebastian with my mom to Tracy's house to spend the next couple of days with Jeffrey. Why does it still pull at my heart strings when I send him off. It's just to my sisters..

As I have already told you--You would have been very proud of him! He was so willing to help Jeffrey with his chores so they could go play! And he helped get things ready for our Christmas party at Tracy--
