Waiting for Christmas

So tomorrow is the big day...the church's Christmas musical and Ryley's subsequent solo. I am sitting in the church sanctuary during dress rehearsal, due to a new policy that doesn't allow the parents to leave. Why is it that the sound of children singing brings tears to my eyes every single time? It never fails!

Anyhow, I have so much on my plate today, and I was counting on this time to get some things done. If I had known that I would have to stay, I would have brought my laptop. But alas, I only have my iPhone. And so I blog.

Here are some pictures of the Christmas season, as taken on my phone. :-)

This is my office girl Leahh with the massive poinsettia our company received. What is the point of a poinsettia this big?






Here's Ryley goofing around on the piano. Notice half our tree lights are out. Story of my life. At least it's kind of in a pattern. :-)






Ryley mails her letter to Santa. She is asking for an American Girl doll.






Here is our house, all decked out for Christmas!

I just love Christmas! I have a co-worker who is a grinch, and it makes me want to blast Christmas music and pile holiday treats on his desk all week long. :-) I mean seriously, what kind of person doesn't like Christmas???

I really love online shopping this year. It is so convenient, and Amazon is so quick that they've been mailing out orders within hours of ordering. There's nothing that dampens my "Christmas cheer" more than standing in a line at Toys R Us or Burlington Coat Factory or the post office. :-)

Last night my friend Jenny hosted a few of us girls at her house for Cookie Bake/Exchange. It was so fun! Ryan and Ryley didn't want me to go, but they were excited that I would be coming home with various treats! Ha ha. I had a really good time.

When Ryley's done here, I think a Starbucks run is in order, followed by housecleaning and editing.

Merry Saturday!
