We made it to Christmas Eve! The kids had this whole week off of school so we've done a lot of shopping and playing games and having fun together. It was crazy cold, so we didn't do a whole lot outside, but we did manage to make one outing! The city decorates a park near our house with lights every year and I've never taken the kids so I made that a goal this year! It wasn't the most impressive display I've ever seen, but it was a lot of fun and the kids loved it. It only took us about 30 minutes to wander through, but that was okay because it got cold very quickly!

We also did a lot of shopping this week and have been to the store almost every day. I see people post that they are officially done with their shopping and I always think "How do you know???" I always feel like I'm buying extra things right up until the last minute in case I forgot something or to even things out or just in case things look too bare when I set it all up. Honestly, the only time I feel like I'm done is when I go to bed on Christmas Eve because I think "Well, there's nothing else I can do now."
I actually feel pretty good about the presents we got the kids and I hope they love them. Even if they don't get exactly what they want, I hope they'll at least remember being together and having a good time as a family!

Sounds like a fun Christmas! The hotel we stayed at was right next to that park so we looked at the lights quite a bit. And by the way, your goggles saved Christmas!
