I am so tired today. It's been a long weekend but still it was not jam packed with activity, but I sure feel like it was! Had the St. Giles CCW Christmas party on Friday night. It was a fun time and everyone kept telling me how good I looked. That's because last week my rock star makeup artist friend Jen (www.blushbyjen.com) came over with a whole big bag of MAC goodies for me. She showed me how to conceal, brighten, and bronze some color on my face. She also taught me how to color in some awesome eye brows. So all compliments can be directed to her and her super make up skills. Saturday I slept in, shocking, as I was so tired and then I headed out to elmhurst to help with the sample sale in the afternoon. Jay took the kids to the Brookfield zoo and met up with his friend Dan and two of dan's boys. Today all Katie can talk about are her new friends Danny and Alex! They had a fun time. Last night Katie, James and I cuddled in bed and finally fell asleep about 10pm. Late night for my babies but they used every excuse in the book to avoid going to bed. Today we were up and at em bright and early for church and Sunday school. After Sunday school was james' class Christmas pageant. Super cute. Jay took a few pictures with his iPhone so hopefully he can post them. Afterwards they had a breakfast for all of us. It was nice to see and chat with some friends i haven't had a chance to catch up with in a while. Then this afternoon I had the sample sale at my home for cabi and then I took a relaxing bath. Now the kids are watching dora's Christmas adventure and I am chilling waiting for desperate housewives to start! Miss my usual glass of wine i used to enjoy while watching the show, but whatcha going to do? Just have to find something else to replace it with!
Getting close to Christmas. Got some wrapping to do, but all the presents are purchased. I've been trying to focus on family and the meaning of Christmas rather than trips to see Santa and writing wish lists. So far so good. Katie will tell you that Jesus' birthday is soon and James is learning all about the meaning of christmas. Looking forward to celebrating with the families and hope I don't tear up too much! Can't help but think how many Christmases am I going to be here for....
Thanks for all your continued support. It sure does mean a lot and go a long way. I'm enjoying all the great holiday cards that are arriving daily.
Stay warm everyone!

Sounds like a busy weekend to me! That's so great that your friend taught you all those cool tricks! What a gift! And I love that you're focusing on the real reason for Christmas. It's so easy to forget sometimes! I'm still praying for you frequently!
