Santa Was Here!

I hope you all had a good Christmas.  Santa was very good to us this year.  I thought I would share what he brought us!  And I will throw in some family pictures of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  I went to Target this morning and bought up a bunch of Christmas decorations for 1/2 off.  I also bought a couple of things from the Dollar Tree for 1/2 off.  I will show you to them some time this week. 
Starting today, my goal is to get this house back in shape before I have to go back to work on the 2nd.  You don’t even wanna know what a disaster it is!  I started in my bathroom today, it was badly in need of a big clean.  I cleaned every thing, including the floor, base boards, cabinets, and doors.  I may squeeze in another room this evening, and some laundry, or maybe I will just veg out in front of the TV.  My goal is at least one load of laundry and one room each day.  And I mean deep clean!  The two older children’s grandmother came over today and took all of their dirty laundry, including their sheets, and she will bring them back clean and folded.  She is going to come over and help clean their rooms too!  Super nice of her! 
This is our Christmas 2012:

Well that was our Christmas 2012.  It is hard to believe that my baby Gavin is going to be 5 years old on the 28th.  I am actually looking forward to getting Christmas put away and de clutter around here.  It always feels so fresh and clean after I do that.
