We made it to the Christmas Choir Concert at the church tonight. Alan, Xinny and Isabella came to. The twins did really well and did not go to the nursery until it was over half over! Sadly since it was not being televised on the local cable channel they could not watch it in there but the kids (Isabella went too) had a blast with the toys and we made it back to hear the percussion piece at offering before we left to go to our homes.
The lasagne dinner went well. Alan and Xinny brought meat and cheese platters and crackers and some salads. We all ate too much I think. They forgot their presents for us but we had them open theirs while the twins napped to avoid hurt feelings and I think they liked what we got them. It was a rather nice visit. Ken and Alan got our tv stands switched, we used to have the tv on a little bookshelf, we switched that with the stand we bought from Ikea years ago that is a lower one (the boys had a toy on it) so that it is ready for the new tv. It is supposed to get here Wednesday! Now we have to think about re-arranging the livingroom though. So I am guessing Ken is going to have one of his guy friends come over and help move the couch cuz I sure am NOT going to.
It is now ONE WEEK unti Christmas. Ken still needs to pick up Cory’s gift and we need to finish up mom’s but we are basically done. Ken is mailing one package tomorrow but the other two are in need of boxes. I have to figure out what all we are eating for dinner Christmas Day… I do have the ham though. Not sure what Ken will want with it. I certainly do NOT want to be shopping after Wednesday even just for food at Superstore.
Ken’s foot seems to be better – his toe that was cut is VERY bruised and of course he is clumsy today and keeps running into things, but we don’t think it is broken. So back to work on Tuesday. Thank goodness he is ok.
Well, there are meals to be planned and a shopping list to be made – on a very happy note, with some help from Ken’s folks and this night job it looks like we will start 2007 caught up on our bills!!! YAY. What a wieght off our shoulders!
