Almost Here...

Feels like it has been forever since I've posted. Perhaps it's because this has been the LONGEST (but lots of fun, of course) week ever!! Work parties, playgroup parties, preschool parties, ornament exchanges, shopping, wrapping, etc., etc.!! Luckily the shopping's done and this Mommy is heading to the beach for a few days before the real craziness begins. It has been super fun so far watching all 3 children really "get" Christmas this year...both the real meaning, and the Santa stuff. Now that school's out, we hope you can enjoy even more on the Buzz list this week. Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!!

Blessings,
The Buzz
