So Christmas Eve is only a week away!  I can't wait.  We're going to my brother-in-law's house this year for the annual sleep-over.  It's a house full but so much fun.  The boys (they have 3 also!) all giggle themselves to sleep, and the adults stay up half the night, usually wrapping or assembling something!  We'll probably sit by the fireplace in jammies with a hot drink and watch A Christmas Story.  "You'll shoot your eye out!"  In some ways I like Christmas Eve more than the Day itself. 

I finished my "soup in a jar" gift today!  It came out really neat.  I put a scrap of fabric on the top and tied it off with a ribbon.  A little card with instructions on how to prepare it finished it up nicely.  I had fun making it!
