Monday Meanderings - 12/05/2011

What a fun, fun week we have ahead! I am cleaning the whole house today and getting all the weekend laundry washed, dried, ironed/folded and put away. I am planning my Christmas baking. I am picking out Nathan's Christmas outfit. I am wrapping more gifts. I am sending out Christmas cards. We will be doing TWO Christmas concerts (yay!) this week and also going to the symphony with my whole family. AND we will be celebrating Christmas early with Grant's grandmother who is home from cancer treatments for another week. It's going to be a full but sweet week. I hope each of you have a wonderful warm-and-dry week as well!
