Looking Forward to 12!

Tomorrow. Is. December. I KNOW!

I was so looking forward to November . . . I had 2 awesome fun vacations planned and they did both turn out to be awesome and fun. So awesome and fun apparently that I’ve been so busy recovering and catching up that I haven’t had time to share my adventures I’ll get to that . . . definitely!

But back to 12 . . . I’m so excited that tomorrow is December! I usually half dread it because it always seems like such a busy stressful time for so many people, myself included. This year? Not so much! Busy? OF COURSE! Stressful? A little, but nothing like usual . . . it’s my own FUN stress - if that’s possible

We get to . . .

. . . go Christmas tree hunting up in the Pike National Forest

. . . go on our first Daisy Scout sleepover

. . . watch Dude get his first Boy Scout patches

. . . go to the Festival of Lights Parade

. . . have a wonderful dinner with some longtime friends to celebrate another year and go check out the wonderful lights at our awesome zoo

. . . attend my first ornament exchange party

. . . attend another fun girly gift exchange party

. . . celebrate (yes celebrate) one year since I was laid off from my previous job

. . . go SHOPPING for gifts! I hate shopping - except at Christmas time - it’s so. much. fun!

. . . put up Christmas decorations

. . . volunteer at the mall for the Salvation Army Giving Tree

. . . GO SNOWBOARDING!

. . . go to MN to celebrate the end of 2009 and beginning of 2010 with family

. . . celebrate my baby’s 7TH BIRTHDAY!

So yes - we have tons going on with work and play - but we are so looking forward to it. How about you? What are you looking forward to this December?
