The Parties begin!!

This weekend we kick off celebrating the birth Jesus!! Saturday night we have a get together with my dad's side of the family..It should be a fun time, I only get to see most of them once or twice a year. We usually have some kind of fun crafty thing for the kids and us mom's to do, while the men sit and chat or play cards..of course there will be food (lots of it!) and then a gift exchange. There is a $10 limit, you bring one man's gift and one woman's gift only if you want to participate....I am excited about the gifts I am bringing this year I got some GREAT DEALS! Got a man's gift we are giving a 2009 entertainment book, thanks to the sale last week at Walgreens I scored one for $10!! Then for a woman's gift I am giving a cute tote bag with girly goodies (lotions and things.) Got it at CVS on thanksgiving day for $10!!!!

On Sunday we head over to Justin's mom side of the family for eating and presents right after church. We are keeping it simple and stress free because we are ordering pizza for lunch! Makes it easy on grandma and all of us bring snacky foods or desserts. It's always a great time when we all get together and the kids are counting down the days!!!!!!

Do you have any plans this weekend???
