I need to prep/make all the apps we are having after church tonight Make a GF pecan pie Get all the stocking stuffers organized Make an egg bake for tomorrow
I mostly need to be ready for FIL and SMIL to arrive at 6:45am and DD to wake up and be ready to start opening. DD will be sleeping in our room so I"m hoping I can sneak out in the morning and get the cinnamon rolls in the oven and the coffee ready.
Fun day today! I'm watching Garfield Christmas with DD and waiting for DS to wake up and having coffee. I need to run at some point this morning. Pizza party lunch with the kids followed by Happy Birthday Jesus Cake Then we're doing our immediate family Christmas. H works tonight so I'll play with the kids, take them to the barn for awhile and get ready to travel to my parents tomorrow.
Working until noon, then home to bake cheesecake, start cinnamon rolls and baked beans. Tonight we're going to the IL's, but not until 7:00 which is annoying. Hopefully I can fit a nap in today. Oh and I have to stop by the liqour store to pick up a certain type of beer for the baked bean recipe. Other than that I'm hoping to RELAX. Something I haven't been able to do for a while.
Making some appetizers and baking some desserts. I am done with shopping so should just be able to relax a bit until the festivities start tonight at my brother's house.

Finished all my wrapping by 10am. Now getting ready to make about 8 dozen rum balls; that should keep me busy for several hours. After that I'll be cleaning the house with whatever time is left before heading out into the rain to meet the inlaws for dinner.
Tonight I'll prep the rib roast with spices, so it can infuse with rosemary before I roast it Christmas morning.

I went for a quick swim at the lake this morning to work out some IL frustration. Now that I'm home, I'm drinking coffee and considering falling asleep in the recliner waiting for my turn in the shower. I have some work to do today, and there are still gifts to wrap, but otherwise I'm going to let R entertain his parents and just go with the flow.
Let the kids open a fun Christmas themed shirt this morning and pancakes!! The rest of the day is cooking our meal for the evening, Christmas movies and baking cookies for Santa. Just an all around chill family day. My recipes are on the computer so hopefully I wont get too sucked in to the internet while cooking lol.
