Hurry, quick before the ball drops...

That's how I usually feel the last few days of December!  How to make the most of girls' vacation, make sure my husband feels special on his December birthday (no Christmas wrapping paper here!), and celebrate our wedding anniversary all before the clocks stikes 12 to mark the end of the year.

Hopefully some goals were met:)

My parents got the kids tickets to see Disney on Ice for Christmas.  The snow storm and 50 mph winds were threatening to cancel our day, but we managed to make it to the Wells Fargo Center.  And one little boy couldn't have been happier to see Buzz Lightyear.

 Waiting for the show to start.

Scott and I got to have two days to ourselves to celebrate his 40th birthday and our 17th wedding anniversary.  We had a very relaxing time and two great meals at restaurants without kids:)  I earned a free massage with my mobilefit points at the gym so I cashed that in as well!

We rang in the New Year with our friends the Jackson's.  All but one (Owen) managed to stay up until the ball dropped... the unsupervised dessert table probably contributed to the VERY awake children.
