december 7

Well it's getting closer and closer to Christmas and I keep trying harder and harder to forget about it. It's not working. I have hardly given any thought to what I'm going to be buying people for Christmas, or who I'm going to send Christmas cards to. I should at least work on the cards, seeing as I've already bought the cards, it'd be foolish not to use them.
I do however know WHAT i'm doing for Christmas. I'll be spending Christmas Day with the Burke's!! That's my friend Erin's family. They live in Caledonia (which is right next to Hamilton), it's like the equivalent of N. Van to Vancouver, or something like that. Anyways, close and fun! I'm so excited to have somewhere to go, and I'm sure that you are too, mom! I had more invites, but because I'm working boxing day, I couldn't really go far away and I would've gone to Matt's, but Erin offered first-and besides Matt's invite was something like, "oh right, my mom said you could come here if you want". That boy makes me laugh.
So, tonight I'm working a later shift, it's from 630 pm to 11pm, never done that one before. So it's giving me the whole day to myself which is nice-both Megs and LA are at work from 9-5 and so we'll have supper and then I go to work. Which gets me thinking, what am I going to make for supper? Probably just some pasta, its simple. But then I have to go and buy milk. It's cold outside...I don't want to go out.
Okay, so it's cold, but there's hardly any snow! What is with MR, everytime I live there it doesn't snow, whenever I'm gone, it's like the hugest snowstorm. Oh well. Hope you're enjoying the cold white stuff. I'm just enjoying the cold. haha. :)
I've spent most of today finishing up things for this weekend's young adults party, just all the odds and ends. The recipes in a jar gifts for families in our church are done, with recipes attached, I'm getting the final RSVP's and assigning food to people and now I just have to wait on Matt before I do the CD's and the girls and I will decorate the house on Saturday. We're getting a Christmas tree!! I'll worry about cleaning the house tomorrow, the longer I wait, the less time there is to get it dirty again. But we'll need a serious overhaul if we plan on having something like 20 or 30 people here, furniture will need to be rearranged and everything that can be moved out will need to be.
So I think I'm going to go wash my breakfast dishes now, I had a late breakfast and it was good! :) Speaking of breakfasts I'm having some friends over Sunday morning for a pancake breakfast, that'll be fun! I made the girls a big breakfast last Sunday. I do what I can when I'm not on sound set up. I seriously love doing this sort of stuff. I'm made to be a stay at home mom. I'm sure of it. :)
And on that note, I'm going to go do those dishes. Talk to you later everyone and God bless!!

Love Niki :)
