Today has been a very productive day! Will has been such a good baby -- he must know Santa is keeping his list, ha! I got most of the packing done for the trip and went out to the mall to do my last minute gift buying. Now I am officially DONE shopping! And I am not letting myself go out anymore because I'll spend money unnecessarily. I just need to wrap these last gifts and I am ready to start celebrating. I hope to be at my parent's house early tomorrow so I can help with the cooking of Christmas Eve dinner, from the sounds of the menu it's going to be another tasty Dillon family gathering! After the walk I just took (well more like a slow shuffle) with Bruce and Will, I just might be looking forward to having my parents yard the most. There are parts of the sidewalk around my house that have about 3 inches of ice covering them and it's just too dangerous walking with the baby in the carrier (a stroller is not even an option). We could use the warm up they are predicting to get rid of some of this mess we have. For lunch today I grabbed a sandwich of tomato, pesto and mozzarella while I was out. I only got to eat half of it but I am going to go back to the rest later.
