Party Time

Time is flying by and things are being crossed off my to do list and my calendar of events is still busy but it's sure hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner. Keaton enjoyed a wonderful week at school last week finishing with his Holiday party at school on Friday in which I was able to attend and enjoy with him. His teacher had 4 fun stations for the kids to do activities. Another mom and I were in charge of the cookie decorating station. The kids were awesome and I got a chance to meet all of his little classmates which he was tickled about. It was so much fun and I was plain exhausted afterwards. No rest for the weary however as the next day was our Christmas party so had to keep at it to get ready. With some help from Ben with last minute store runs and him calming my nerves with his calm and level headed demeanor we were ready for the party. We had a wonderful party if you ask me. We ended up having around 26 people come to the party and my house was packed. Thank goodness we moved furniture around or we would have NEVER fit everyone in so comfortable. All the food was gone,all the liquor for the most part was gone, and all the beer was drank. In other wards it was a great time. All the time and energy put into it was well worth it and look forward to next years party!!! Now its on to cookie day today and planning the menu for Christmas eve and somewhere packing. Oh and last minute shopping to be done. Well I better get off this computer and get going.

They have moved on and I've just caught up!!!

So confused.... we are having our Christmas party today so I went out last night to get a few last minute items. I thought I'd stop by Lowes next to Party City and grab a few more Poinsettias for the party. Well.......THEY DIDN'T HAVE ONE POINSETTIA!!! Not a one folks and on top of that they had moved all the decorations and Christmas stuff to the sale isle and it was all marked 50% off. OK, I love a bargain and all but it's a week before Christmas and you've all ready moved on. My brain can't keep up. Back in August when I walked into a store and saw Christmas stuff I was weirded out but now I go in when I expect to see Christmas stuff and they've moved on before the day has even gotten here. The sales associate said that they did all this last week, so that's 2 weeks before the holiday. I can't keep up and I'm a bit annoyed that I couldn't even get a poinsettia. I'm sure I'll go in tomorrow and see Valentines day stuff. Ugggggh!!

It's looking alot like Chirtmas!

The tree is up (I'm over a week late with this post!) for Christmas 2009 and once again we had lots of fun decorating. This year was a little different than previous years as we got an artificial tree this year due to us traveling over the holidays. Never the less the boys had lots of fun listening to Christmas music,decorating and having hot chocolate. They all looked adorable in their Christmas PJ's. It's looking alot like Christmas around the Kley house. Ho Ho Ho!!!
