This past weekend we completed most of our Christmas shopping. Ryan's mom came over early Saturday and watched Keegan while we took Fiona shopping. It was so nice to only have one of the girls while trying to quickly get our shopping done. Since we are on a strict budget this year and have a lot of people to buy for, I created a spreadsheet. Yes, a spreadsheet. I put in a budget per person and then after each stop I updated it with the actual spent amount. It has been very useful and has kept us on track.
After a long morning of shopping we dropped the girls off at my parents and were on our way to Ryan's Aunt Gail's 50th birthday party. It was an eventful Party filled with games, laughter, presents, good food & drinks and even a stripper. It was highly entertaining and a great time out with Ryan.
Sunday Ryan was helping a friend move so the girls and I were on our own. We went to my parents house to hang out and ended up doing some more shopping. Now we only have 4 presents left to get!
Today is only Tuesday and I am already wishing it was Friday. I look forward to my weekends with the girls and Ryan. That is what is most important to me.
Tomorrow Ryan's mom is coming over while we are at work and is cleaning our entire house along with doing our mass quantities of laundry. This is her Christmas present to us and I don't think I could have thought of a better one for her to give! I can't wait to come home to a super clean house full of clean clothes! Yay!
Only 10 days till Christmas!
