Tis' The Season

Christmas.Snuck.Up. Wow, this December has been so action packed! We have been to Christmas party after Christmas party and I have been working more and more at the wine shop. I am not complaining but it definitely makes the days speed by. Next week is Christmas and we will have another packed week. We are having dinner with David's parents on Thurday night and then celebrating Christmas Eve with them like last year then we will wake up early and head to Seven Lakes for the night. I love the holidays but I so wish there was away to be with my parents and David's parents Christmas Eve. I think I have missed Christmas Eve two times in my whole life. Jason and I would go to sleep and I would wake him up super early so we can open our stockings and then wait patiently for Mom and Dad to wake up. Of course as we "grew up" it got later and later and now that I am married things are definitely different. David and I will start our own traditions.

This year we decided with my family to go on a trip vs. buying presents for eachother. We always end up spending so much money and getting "things" that we really don't need, we thought why not go on a family trip together. We leave Jan. 7th for a 5 day cruise to the Bahamas, the ship leaves out of Charleston. I am SOOO EXCITED I could pee my pants. Not only am I looking forward to much needed time off work but I am looking forward to a real family vacation with David, Mom, Dad, Jason and Julie. This is probably (fingers crossed) going to be the last vacation we take all together without a baby on board. I can't wait to gamble,drink,eat,swim,play Mexican train and relax! And who knows maybe we'll come back from the trip with more than a tan....
