• This morning started out with a few chores plus getting everything ready for the girls to make brownie Christmas trees. Keaton had said that she was going to bake the brownies last night, but she never did get around to it. 
  
• So before she was awake, I had the brownies made along with the icing dyed and everything else laid out. Campbell and Keaton were the only ones that I had seen this morning when I left even though I didn't leave incredibly early.
• Reagan had a dentist appointment for a filling so we ran to Grannymom's house first to drop off one gift. Then I ran into Academy to pick up another gift before we hurried off to the dentist. I am not sure what all they did to Reagan's teeth, but we were there for the whole hour. That was good since I was able to do quite a bit of reading.
• Then we moved on to Kroger to grab a few things. Reagan asked if we needed a buggy, but I told her we would spend less money if we didn't have one-we left with our arms full of things so I am not sure if no buggy was really a good idea or not.
• We were home for a few minutes when we left again for a Chritmas party at the Ferguson's house. My bigs were definitely the oldest ones there, but they didn't seem to mind too much-especially since they were able to leave. They played the games and ate before heading on their way home.
• Whitman wanted to go with them, but I told him we would stay about 45 minutes later. We ended up leaving an hour and 45 minutes later. I kept looking outside and Whitman was always busy playing so I let him play. 
• Keaton was as happy as she could be since her buddies were there. Campbell also was content becuase she was busy taking care of the little bitties. When we did finally make it home, I had the girls work on some wrapping. Then Graham and Anderson had to do some wrapping for their person as well-it is always entertaining watching the boys wrap presents.
• Afterwards, I cleaned the shower before we did some Jesse tree reading. Now I am curled up watching my first Hallmark movie of the evening.
