It only took 10 years....

Last year,
and the year before that
,

and the year before that, and the year before that,
and the year before that,
and the year before that,
and the year before that, and the year before that,

and the year before that,
and the year before that,

I have spent every Christmas Eve in seclusion wrapping gifts
like a mad woman into the wee hours of the morning.

There is a good reason why there are never any pictures
of me on Christmas morning: I look a hot mess.2-3 hours sleep doesn't look good on anyone.

This year, I am resolute.
After a decade of marriage, I *WILL* be awake
enough on Christmas morning to enjoy the festivities!!

And VOILA:

Photobucket
Those my friends, are presents.
Lots of them.
Wrapped and Ready.
And in our closet there are 4 paper grocery sacks
filled with all of the accoutrements Santa will need
to fill the stockings.

I am a rock star!

To say you are a rockstar is an understatement my dear! I haven't even started shopping much less wrapping! I am proud to be called your sister:)
