Great day!

After a week or three of feeling very stressed out about the holidays (more specifically, about the fact that I didn't have time to prepare for them), things are finally coming together.

I had a great visit with Jacquelin and Alexandria today. It was so wonderful to see them! Alex is the most beautiful little girl in the world. See?



Jacquelin is looking marvelous, and we had a very enjoyable time exchanging gifts and catching up over lunch at the Salt Lick.

After that, I managed to brave the last-minute shopper crowds to buy a gift for my baby niece, and I realized that I'll have time to shop for the remaining four kids next week because we won't be exchanging gifts til next Friday and Saturday. Whew!

I also managed to wrap all of the gifts for tomorrow's get-together, I got my laundry done, crossed a couple of other mundane chores off my to-do list, and I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now. Yay!
