It's Almost Time

One week--that's what we're down to. Actually, it's less than that for these Kruse's. Brad will have the kids' on Christmas Eve so that's when we'll have our Christmas. Doyle and I went and got groceries this morning and I had finished up the Christmas shopping on Friday. I have a bed full of gifts to wrap yet today. We decided that we would have steaks (Emily loves Papa Doyle's steaks), Green Bean Casserole (Brad loves it), baked potatoes (my favorite), and Cheesecake (Patrick's favorite), for Christmas Eve dinner. Now we just have to decide how "Santa" will visit. If all else fails I'll have Brad take the kids for a little "light seeing" drive and Santa can deliver there presents then. I'm anxious to see the kids' get there presents, that is truly the best part of Christmas. Doyle and I had decided much earlier in the year not to exchange gifts but I do need to make him a card yet. I must say that I'm ready for 2011 to be done, it's been a rough year with a lot of heartache and I hope that 2012 will be a much better year.
