Yes, I tend to be The Grinch. I used to REALLY be the Grinch growing up, but now that we have Ian and Gavin, I'm trying to be much better during the holidays. I tend to go overboard for my family and since I work part-time, it's hard to keep that up. I've had an especially hard time this year. Could be due to the fact I started shopping much later than normal. But, I walk around these stores and nothing jumps out at me for my family. I'm really, really struggling!
Anyway...I found myself at JCP at 6am this morning to get their doorbuster sales! Hardly anyone in the store, so that was nice for me. We had basketball practice at 9am and that went well. The kids are having fun (it seems) and learning, so hopefully that'll continue. After that we came home to do a few things around the house and then Ian and I left for NCSU. I put together a Tutor Appreciation Gathering prior to the men's basketball game. About 30 people were there. We stayed for the first half of the game and then came home in time to put up the Christmas tree and decorate it. Then, off to Jenn's and Scott's house for a Christmas party tonight. The boys had a late night tonight, so we'll see how they are in the morning. UGH.
We're definitely looking forward to my dad flying down for Christmas! Ian is very excited about the tradition he and Grandpop have...building a gingerbread house together! This time Gavin is able to help, so Grandpop told Ian he bought extra candy because they usually sneak a few candies while decorating! hahahahahahahaha That's Grandpop!
