Mom picked me up to go shopping at 11:00 last night and we shopped until 10:00 this morning. It was definitely a long day. I did not get a lot of what I needed mainly because I thought I was getting more help than I did. Anyway, I am not going to vent about it right now as I am probably too mad and hurt, but it will be fine. It always is. I have very little left and I will get it done. Mom's friend came with us too, which is always nice. I love Mrs. Charlaine, and she probably is the only reason my mom and I speak to each other during this time.
So tonight is the Christmas Lighting Party. I am so tired. I think next year we will do it the weekend after Thanksgiving and just make it a Christmas Kick-Off event. I was really too tired to enjoy myself and I do not like feeling that way at all. I did not get to make several of the things that I wanted to and that bothers me. I really think moving it back a week will make huge difference.
The party was great, the kids all had a great time and lighting the house is beautiful. You should all take the time to drive by and check them out. They will definitely make you and especially your kids smile! Merry Christmas!!!

Photo Shoots and Christmas Decorations :)
So today was a great day! I could have handled a little more sun but overall seriously nothing but blessings.
The day started with breakfast with my three men. Even though it was simply cereal it was great to all be together for the first meal of the day, it is after all the most important.
After breakfast I headed out to start a day full of photo shoots. Houses, Parks, Gardens, and more. It was truly a day of blessings for my business as well. I also delivered some disks which is great, because it means right now I am still on schedule! Definitely another blessing. For more on these sessions please watch the blog at www.monicaannephotography.com
When I got home the progress that had been made with the decorations outside was a sight to see. I am so excited about Christmas and we are very quickly making the progress towards having it all ready. I cannot believe that it is time already, but I am also very thankful that it is. Christmas is my favorite time of the year and when the house is ready it definitely shows.
We had to run to get some more extension chords, it would not be Christmas without new ones. Because we add more each year we have to have a way to get them lit...hints more extension chords. I think I will start buying one for Brandon each year for Christmas then he will have it the next year. It would just be a fun little gift that most people would not understand. Well, if they read this they will. While getting the chords, one ended up being five. Seriously! We ran into the Hughes family. It always does my day good to see or talk to Amy. Super glad for that little surprise tonight!
Well, the boys are in bed. I am going to edit and work on homework a few more minutes then I am going to go off to bed myself. I need my sleep plus the boys have school tomorrow and we cannot be late. Coffee is made and ready to brew in the morning!
