End of the week

We've made it through another week. Monday and Wednesday each had a child home sick, and I worked the other three days. My wonderful husband had another over night conference last night. On the up side, we are in really good shape as far as our Christmas shopping and prep. We are hosting again this year, and I'm really torn between turning our house into a Christmas showcase, and being practical with both our finances and our time. Tomorrow evening we are headed to a Christmas party, and then my wonderful husband leaves again on Sunday morning for another conference until Tuesday evening. We are having a very pleasant family evening tonight. We've made frozen pizza for the kids for dinner, and salads for us. We've lit candles, and we'll be watching Frosty the Snowman on CBS shortly. I'm so grateful for wonderful evenings like this!!!
