I took December 23 off and we spent the day working on last minute Christmas errands. The niblings hung out with us for a little while so that Aunt Vicky could volunteer at the mall for present wrapping. We had lunch and then came back to roll out some sugar cookies.

We wait until the last minute to put any presents under the tree because several of the four-legged members don't abide by the societal rules of "don't open presents before Christmas morning and definitely don't own presents that don't have your name on them." When we opened up the box from my Aunt Mary (she always sends cat presents) and put the packages under the tree, it instantly became the hot spot for cat hangouts.

Will brought home a gingerbread kit last week so he and tried to put it together. No pictures because it wasn't exactly structurally sound. But we had fun. It reminded me of the days of Lego building and teamwork and all of that good stuff. It was a sweet way to start off the holiday weekend.
