A long day

Yesterday was a very long and busy day.

Michael and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary. I was pleasantly surprised when a dozen roses were delivered to my work. They're absolutely gorgeous.

At 4:15 we joined Austin at the daycare he attends after school for their Christmas party. They started the party by singing Christmas songs. It was so cute. We stayed long enough to eat and win a couple of door prizes. Also, Austin got a present, reindeer ears and a goody bag from his teachers.

After the party we headed to pick up Abigail. After getting Abigail we were off to Michael's Christmas party at work. We had a nice dinner and a visit from the big guy we all call Santa. Austin was the only one {between our two} to sit on his lap, Abigail wanted nothing to do with him. I really wanted to take the kids to the mall to see Santa, but Abigail will probably freak out like she did last night. I'll probably take them anyways, I can't miss a year!

I stayed up last night way longer than I should have getting packages around to put in the mail this morning. The news reported that the last day for shipping priority mail was December 20th so that it would arrive before Christmas. I'm doing pretty good, 2 days ahead of schedule!

I have yet to upload the pictures from yesterday. Austin has a Christmas program today at school, so I'll have pictures from that also. I video taped the performance yesterday and will be doing the same today. Of course if you were to watch the video, you'd here me sniffling as there's nothing like seeing your baby do something for the first time. He's growing so fast!
