I can't believe Christmas is already this week! Eek!! This is going to be such a fun week. I'm so looking forward to everything with Carson - he's just at such a fun age this year!
Today we're headed to church. Then we're headed to First Baptist in Grand Blanc for the Christmas program to see our niece and nephew. Afterwards we're going over to my BIL's/SIL's house to celebrate my BIL's birthday. Tomorrow night I'll be going out with my colleagues for dinner and happy hour for Christmas. Wednesday, our office is having a Christmas breakfast party. Thursday and Friday are holidays for me at work. Kevin is taking Thursday off and his holiday shutdown starts Friday. I'll be meeting some college friends for dinner in Grand Rapids on Thursday night. Friday is Christmas Eve! We'll be going to my Aunt Sharon's house in the afternoon/evening. Saturday is Christmas!! We'll do our own thing in the morning, then we'll be heading to Grand Rapids for Christmas with Kevin's extended family in the afternoon/evening. We still have to figure out when we're getting together with my parents and sister. My mom has to work later than she thought she might on Christmas Eve now, so I'm not sure what we'll do (we had planned on going over there before heading to my aunt's house, but it won't work now). Maybe we'll have them come over to our house on Christmas morning, or we'll go over there mid-morning. We'll see.
