there are only eight days left until christmas, well technically seven since i am writing this late at night, but how exciting! my big kids are flying to florida for christmas on wednesday, it's their dad's year. it is always hard not having them here for the holidays, but we decided to spend this christmas eve with some good friends and their kids, so i am looking forward to that. we are going to exchange gifts with them and spend the evening in cozy pajamas and eat lots of yummy food. i will be making artichoke dip and my carrot soup. i still need to come up with a dessert. i'm thinking pie.
