We started Christmas early this weekend

Our Christmas celebration is in full swing. I think my shopping and wrapping may be done. Now we are just waiting to see when Miss Marley is joining us. I can't believe Christmas is Thursday already?!?!?!?!?!

Friday I had my weekly cheekup and all looks good. Somehow I haven't gained any weight. Odd considering my diet is consisting of chocolate chip cookies haha

Friday night the wintery mix held off and Isabella had her Holiday concert. It was so freaking cute. She did a little knee bob dance and in between singing she waved and said that is my mommy and daddy over and over. But she was the cutest kid on stage by far :)

Saturday morning we made cookies and cleaned for Christmas dinner with Crush and Jenny!! Thank you so much to my Christmas elves for the ladder, hanging up the icicle lights and our awesome Christmas wreath. They are perfect! Dinner was delish. Tony was in full blown panic we were not going to be able to grill the steaks but 45 minutes later we got the stubborn grill unfrozen and lit. Everything was worth the wait. Then Jon and Jenny kicked our asses in Trivia Pursuit. Do you know how hard it is to lose to your younger brother?!?!?!?!? And thanks you guys for leaving the Peanut Butter Chocolate cake. Do you hate me. You know I have no willpower. :)

Then today we woke up to some more ice and freezing rain. This is getting old already!! I hope Marley leaves us enough time to warm up the cars and scrap the ice. UGH!!! We were lazy this afternoon and then we had Christmas dinner with Aunt Dawn, Uncle John and Shelly. ( I don't want to talk about the Eagles game that we suffered through though. )

Here are some highlights in pictures!!!



And a comparison picture of cooking making last year.


I hope everyone has a wonderful, safe and healthy week with your family and friends. Love you!!
