Preparing for Friends and Family

Boy, has it been a crazy week around here! I feel like yesterday should have been Friday - there were 2 weeks worth of events packed into the first 3 days of the week. KLee's post yesterday was so timely for me. I've been rushing around (like I do EVERY year) preparing everyone else for Christmas. The cookies, the presents, even working on meaningful advent related activities for my kids isn't as important as preparing my own heart. Thanks for the reminder, KLee.

So, today's been a bit more relaxed around here. Luke and I have read a lot of books and I've taken some time for myself and my own heart. It doesn't mean I don't still have a million things to do, but hopefully I'll be doing them more faithfully and with the right attitude.

What exactly is still on my to do list:

Make Christmas sugar cookies for the kids and family

Wrap presents

Order 2 more presents online

Mail a present

Prepare the guest bedroom

Clean up the dining room table so we have a place to eat Christmas dinner

But it will all get done. And if it doesn't? Well, I'm sure it's not crucial to this season anyway!

What's still on your list before next week?
