It's Christmas Eve!

You know what I love about the holidays? That I get to spend them with my family. I can think of nothing I would love to do more. Regardless of what we are celebrating, spending time with family is what keeps me going.

We have a Christmas Eve dinner planned for tonight at my sister's house. Then we open the stockings first thing in the morning. Then breakfast, then the rest of the presents. With about 40 people (more at times) around the house all day, it's packed and festive! The kids will be playing with their Christmas gifts, the adults will be eating and catching up with each other.

This will be my daughter's first Christmas. Honestly, I didn't get her much. She has all the love in the world. But, I did get her a stocking and a few toys I know she will love to chew on (and which the cat will steal within a couple days).

We got the 5th donation towards my cause today. At the time of this writing, the Chip-in widget hasn't updated but it's actually up to $14. I am hoping to get some more last minute donations to be able to give my brother, his wife and kids an awesome Christmas!

Happy holidays to everyone and thanks for supporting my cause.
