Up since 3:30...

So I had to work this AM. I did a two hour remote at one of the local stores.
We are lugging equipment in and people are not moving to let us in.
I think they thought we were trying to cut in line.
After much reassuring that we were not they let us in.
We had fun most people were in high spirits and in the Christmas mood.
I have never been an early bird Christmas shopper.
I understand why people do but our tradition was to wait until Christmas Eve. Out of necessity - lack of money.
But it was fun and there was pressure and I loved it.
Thus the tradition lives on for me.
I hold out tile the last minute on the hunt for the perfect gift. :)

Had turkey day at my Aunt's yesterday. So nice, mellow and even better we did not have to cook! Bummer no yummy leftovers! My Mom's family is laid back because they are so big! It was so sweet of them to include Chris and I. It's hard being away from my folks but my Aunts do their best to love me up. So thankful for my life this year. Does that sound weird? I just feel very blessed.


In other news day 3 no morning sickness. Ok let me rephrase that. Sick but no getting sick.
Thank you baby! :)

Honey, if you need leftovers, I swear I will fedex you some of the FOUR freaking pies my lovely Christopher backed for the two of us. Because he has a pastry PROBLEM. :)
