Slow Sunday before Xmas......

and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a toy mouse! I do enjoy the nice slow mornings before anyone else wakes up...... Hmmmm I'm the last one to bed too so I guess I don't need as much sleep as the rest of them!

Since we went to Grandma's yesterday to celebrate an early Christmas and early Birthday (Papa Andy was born on the 25th) we will have the kids today and tomorrow and all the Grandparents down here in Florida will come over for a bit on Christmas day for 'appetizer snacks' throughout the day. That add's 3 to my house - Papa A and Grandma H and Papa Andy.

I plan to head to the trails for a nice walk (and will drag the rest of the family with me!), do a little sewing with machine and hand and at some point fit in 'The Polar Express' movie with a cup of hot cocoa. We have not watched that one yet and it is on the 'must do' list! The kids will be making some sugar cookies to use a new set of cookie cutters Aidan got yesterday.

I'll be stitching the baby hearts while watching the movie......6 blocks to go!



What will you be working on today? Remember to slow down, breathe and enjoy the little moments of this holiday season. Linking up with Kathy and the Slow Stitchers.

Early mornings are a wonderful quiet time here too, I like to read before DH gets up and turns on the TV. Today is just relaxing as all my chores and sewing for the holidays is done.

Very relaxing. Today I have to take our son "away" for the day so that my husband can wrap. Church, a movie, and one final grocery shop before the big day. Happy stitching. LOVE that heart!

Sounds like you live the busy mom life - I remember those days! Enjoy your stitching and movie. Polar Express is still a favorite of ours!

I am the last one to sleep, but the last one up too. I wish I was an early riser as it would make life so much easier. It sounds like you are going to have some busy days ahead. Enjoy your family this Christmas week!
