all day baby...Mac has been high on the good stuff...that non-stop happiness and bursting excitement that Sean and I have coined "Christmas crack". By the the time we dropped him off at Bryce's for the evening he was flying. :)
We had SUCH a great day though. Sean ran around picking up food this morning (honey baked ham and cinnamon buns for tomorrow) while I took care of one last covert gift operation while he was gone. This afternoon we made cookies for Santa, wrote him a note, and just hang out together.
We exchanged our one gift for Christmas Eve...Mac got a skeet ball game, Sean got electronic Mad Libs and I made out like a bandit with a new Bose system for my I-pod...Sean thought I might want to use it tomorrow so he had me open it early.
Mac and I made a CD of Christmas music for him to take to his Dad's since they have a tradition of having to sing a song before they get to open each gift...he decided musical accompaniment was a must this year so he went armed with 18 various songs and worries about getting more than 18 gifts...I assured it him it'd probably be enough and if need be, he could do an encore performance. :)
After hanging out at Bryce's for a bit, Sean and I came home to a quiet time around the house...ate a bunch of snacks we made, got the gifts from Santa ready, and stuffed stockings. I just unloaded all the photos from tonight so the camera's all ready for the morning and now we're going to go for a walk, coming home and get ready to go to midnight mass. I can't wait...not usually what I say in relation to mass, but this one is just special. Our church is always filled with fresh tall trees covered in lights and the entire choir performs with an orchestra...it is really beautiful to see & hear. It's a wonderful end to what's been a perfect Christmas eve.
Merry Christmas... :)
