This will be a fun yet slightly busy weekend for us. Brad's extended family always gathers together for a big Christmas celebration around Christmas but never on Christmas. I always look forward to the extended family Christmas.
This Sunday all will gather for that special Christmas. We still have to get 2 gifts for the gift exchange. The gift exchange is fun and unique. You draw a number then wait your turn to go get any gift under the tree. Once you open your gift you can choose to keep it or take someone elses gift that has already been opened.
I will spend tomorrow evening making things. We will be taking my crowd-pleasing spinach dip, rocky road cake, and festive rice krispie treats. Brad is hoping I change my mind on making the rice krispie treats "festive", he likes them plain. Maybe I'll have time to do a small plain batch and a festive batch. I got the idea to make rice krispie treats back at Thanksgiving when I noticed there was a lack of easy to grab treats for the kids in the family.
For tomorrow, my goal is to get a couple household chores, grocery shopping, and gift exchange shopping all done by 3:00. Can I do it? I hope so. Sun Devils play at 3:00 our time followed by two Texas schools in bowl games. So the running around part of my day needs to be done by gametime!
We also have the Mavs game to go to on Sunday. Not to mention that very important Cowboys game will be played. Lots going on! Go Cowboys!
