My Saturday consisted of my alarm buzzing at approximately 4:30 am, curling my hair, and running out the door to hit up Starbucks before catching the train to Chicago for some shopping with my in-laws. We really didn't do too much shopping, did pick up a few things like a pair of coffe pjs and some Burt's bees hand salve. As far as marking anything off my Christmas list....that's a negative. Back to springfield we go. I feel like Christmas just came so fast this year. I'm ready for thanksgiving but Christmas the shopping, I just could do without this year. I love Christmas, don't get me wrong, our Savior was born and that is magnificent, amazing glorious and wonderful all in itself! I love it! However I just am at an age an where I finally can say, I do like receiving gifts, but Christmas is not the time- it places a lot of stress on everyone and myself. I love giving gifts as well, I love seeing people smile. I hope to move towards the real true meaning of Christmas in the years to come- I want to instill the importance of that in my future children. To God be the glory forever and ever!!! Let's glorify Christ this Christ-mas.
Here are some pics from outings in Chicago today.
