Merry Christmas Eve!

We finally made a trip to the mall yesterday for some last minute gifts. Went in the late afternoon so it wasn't really packed yet. Little Miss Fatty (aka Ella-phant) hasn't pooped in 3 days, so guess who decides to drop a bomb in her diaper in the middle of shopping?! And to make matters worse, we left the baby wipes in the trunk of the car... well, we had to rush back, stinky baby, and terrible toddler who insisted on plopping herself on the floor for no reason... only to find the pack of wipes frozen! What a nightmare! Picked up one gift, at least. Sheesh, babies and their timing!

So, now I'm home, finished up a card and wrapping some gifts for tomorrow... I still have to assemble a bike for Audrey tonight to leave under the tree tomorrow. Husband didn't want to give her a bike for Christmas, he thinks we should save it for her birthday in May because it's too cold to ride a bike anyway. But I didn't care, I've always envisioned Christmas morning when the kids come running out in their Christmas pj's to find a brand new shiny red bike with a big bow under the tree. I am going to make that a reality!

Decided to try my hand at Taylor's sketch TESC95 challenge...


Anyhoots, I wish you all a happy and healthy holiday. Whatever it is you celebrate, just be merry!
