Happy Birthday Jesus!

Today is Christmas Eve! I took today off, (get tomorrow off), and am also taking Monday off to make it a 5 day weekend and mini vacation. We are starting the tradition this year of making Christmas Eve day a family day together. This year we started off by braving the stores! We left the house at 8am and got back at about 10am. It was already getting crowded! We quickly went to Target, Walmart & Fred Meyer for some last minute purchases, a return, and some food for tomorrow.

Next, we started a new tradition; Shaun and I baked a birthday cake for Jesus! Shaun loved to help; he got a big grin on his face when he was helping to stir. He also really liked licking the spoon when we were done. He wasn't sure how to do it at first, but once he got a taste, he said, "Yummy!"

Next, we had lunch and put Shaun down for an early nap at noon since we will be leaving at about 3 to go to our Christmas Eve get together at my Aunt's in west Seattle.

Now, I am doing this post and wrapping the last minute presents while Bill is cooking bacon for our brunch tomorrow.

Merry Christmas everyone!
