Holiday Fun: Let the Break Begin!

The kids are officially out of school but won't be home on the bus for about half an hour.  I'm really excited about their coming home, about the beginning of our holiday week together, which will go as follows:

• Today:  Sis actually has a follow-up doctor's appointment this afternoon; then we'll bake cookies or glue gingerbread houses or watch a holiday movie or, well, whatever strikes our fancy.  After the kids go to bed, there's a lot of wrapping to be done.  Essentially all of it.
• Christmas Eve:  Ma, Gong, and Goo come tomorrow; they'll spend the night (with grandparents at a local hotel).  We'll play, eat, go to church, spread out reindeer food on the grass (oatmeal and glitter)
• Christmas!
• Monday:  Mama has the day off!
• Tuesday:  Gommie and Pop are here through the rest of the vacation.

Let the fun begin!
