Merry Christmas Eve!!!

Wow - how is it already Christmas Eve?! Where did the week go? Things have been more than crazy around here - Court's mom and Mark were in town for the weekend, we had Christmas dinner at our house on Sunday, finished shopping and wrapping, oh my!

Mission turkey: accomplished. And quite tastily, I might add. And it wasn't as scary as I had imagined either. I was freakin' out about it - even though a turkey is just a bigger chicken, right? Oy. Well, Sunday started off with Bob the Turkey and I getting friendly - including the naked turkey dance (Bob, not me, naked!) and Court cracking up yet strangely horrified as I made Bob dance around the kitchen. Then I had a moment that would have made Paula Deen proud - I sure did rub my bird all over with butter. Again - slightly horrified husband in the room. But, Bob roasted up nicely and almost all 16 lb of him were consumed - yummy!

We're about to be on our way to MeeMaw and Papa's house for more turkey. Then it's back to Larry's and then church with my family. And then presents! Yay! I can't wait to see everyone open their gifts - I think I have more fun watching people open what we got them than opening my own. Especially since I don't deserve anything! I've got a fantastic family that ar emore than enough of a gift.

Happy Christmas to you!!!
