Woke up, made banana bread batter, filled up 5 mini tins and put them in the oven. Took DD2 over to a friend's house, came back, packed up the freshly baked banana bread, and jars of chocolate-covered peanuts with attached ornaments (made by my mom) in a picnic basket, and went to the Christmas party at DD1's school. DD1 had a great time handing out candy, ornaments and bread to her 2 teachers, the assistant teacher, the para, the librarian, the nurse, the 2 art teachers, the receptionist, the principal, and the 2 gym teachers. I miscalculated, and the music teacher got left out. So I told DD1 we could make her something for when school starts back up.
I'd post a pic of the goodies, but DD1 accidentally dropped the camera 2 days ago with the lens open, and now it won't work. Sigh. DH is going to try to take it apart and fix it.
Came home after the party, and DD1 helped me assemble photo books for the grandmothers, and wrap gifts for assorted relatives. We mailed 7 packages, and then it was time to pick up DD2. We went to lunch at Lupe Tortillas, and then dropped off DD1 at her SECOND party of the day. I picked up the Christmas photo cards at CostCo, stuffed them in envelopes, picked up DD1 from the party, swung by Pizza Hut and ordered pizza. The pizza lady said it'd take 30 minutes, and there was a nail salon next door, so DD1 got her nails painted, and I got a pedicure while we waited for our pizza.
The envelopes are now addressed, but I still need to print out the Christmas letter and stuff that in there, and buy stamps. Still! Progress is made.
Oh, can I just tell you? The lady in front of me at the UPS store was mailing a box of gifts to Wyoming, and wanted it there by Christmas. UPS doesn't count Saturday or Sunday, so she had to send it two-day and paid ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY TWO DOLLARS to ship the box.

i have to wonder what was in the box that costs $162 dollars? wow. xoxoxo - c.
Holy cow, girl, you make the rest of us look like total slackers. I'm very impressed. It's taken me all month to get half that stuff done! (I printed the holiday newsletter, but the cards etc are still sitting on my desk AND I have to get stamps today - embarrassing!)
