Ah, as I was typing that title, I realized that I haven’t uploaded either of the girls’ Christmas program videos yet.
Sigh….Must. Do. That.
And in case you are wondering how my stream of consciousness writing got me from that to this – Emma’s class sang “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth.” Ahhh, see? I haven’t completely lost my mind. Yet.
Anywho…J. asked me what I wanted for Christmas a few weeks ago and I told him I really just wanted to go back to Michigan to see my sister and family. Let the girls soak up some cousin love for a bit, they are clearly in need of a little.
So, my Christmas present is indeed plane tickets, we leave the day after Christmas. So we get to have three different Christmases – a week of Christmases! That is a great gift if you ask me.
Last night we were making our lists (and checking it twice, ha!) of things I needed to get today and I was looking over J.’s shoulder at his very logical, engineer-like spreadsheet of gift giving. I mean, it is color-coded, I kid you not!
J: Hey! You aren’t supposed to look at this, I have presents for you on it.
C: You already got me my present. The plane tickets so I could see my sister that was supposed to be my gift.
J: Maybe I got you something else, like glasses. So you could see your sister. Or binoculars…or a telescope! You could see her with that!
Ha. Ha. Ha. HiLARious! See what I’ve got to work with here?
Family all in a pile at the holidays have left some of my fondest memories! Enjoy!
Oh and in regards to your latest comment on my blog. I don’t think mice and humane can be in the same sentence
)
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness (from Annie!) I’m SOOOO excited. Only 7 more days. I think J’s gift to you is the greatest gift I could ever receive! I can’t wait for you to be here. All my love…
Oh, have fun! That sounds like a pretty stellar present if you ask me.
Awesome present indeed!! But you know what I’m mostly marveling at? Not that his Christmas gift list is color coded, but that he has one in the first place!! I don’t think my hubby even thinks about it until the day before.
Great gift to see you sister. And a pair of glasses that was too funny….
I think I’m with Christina on this one. Hubby doesn’t think about it until right before Christmas. Although this year I had things on an Amazon wish list that he went by. There’s a box sitting in the closest as I type! I can see it from here.
It’s for me. hee-hee.
Merry Christmas! What a great gift.
Mine are already under the tree….I am still in SHOCK….first time in 13 years….who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks
I can’t wait to see you!
Look at all those people hanging out to see you! How wonderful is that???
So what I thought of was an email I received recently about ‘The Engineer’s Christmas Card’. I will send you a copy. I think you will appreciate it!!!!
That is too funny! And is there something wrong with color coding?
Enjoy your three Christmases!
