so i was right, today has been a good day. i thought my heart would burst with pride as i watched liv at her christmas concert. she did really well, sang her heart out and knew all the words. it was adorable to watch all the little ones (liv is in the oldest group, she's not quite five yet) doing their bit. i love it, what a highlight of christmas.
this afternoon i did the card class. i did end up spending more time helping others than doing my own, but it was fun and i enjoyed myself immensely. tomorrow i have managed to get myself an invite to the sure start volunteer christmas party. we are going off by coach, having dancing lessons, yummy lunch and santa! so that should be fun too. of course, on saturday i am running the primary christmas party, so round all the fun stuff i am trying to fit in things like buying and preparing all the food, getting games ready, setting up the santas grotto etc. i think the party will be fun, but preparing for it is not, esecially when it comes only six days after the presentation. thankfully, after that it is mostly over for a while and i can turn my attention to finishing hand made presents, wrapping all the stupidly large boxes that the kids presents are in, writing christmas cards, the carol concert i'm singing in etc etc. still, after today i am feeling considerably more festive and ready for all the chaos of the next three weeks!
