Only three more shopping days left.....

Well, I can happily (and thankfully) say that the Gustin family is DONE shopping (read-- fighting the holiday crowds) and is all ready for Iyla's first Christmas!! In fact, we have been finished for quite a while. So, what's left to do before Christmas when the shopping is done and the presents are wrapped? Well, here's what we have been up to.....

.. Piggy back rides!!

Stringing lights-- working on pictures of Iyla with said lights. Let's just say this holiday project wasn't a huge sucess and the dog is STILL wondering why we insist on 'torturing' her sister, Iyla. Too funny.

Building the Gustin Family Gingerbread house

Little Drummer Girl, Iyla using Dad's head as a drum!!

Opening packages from far and near.....

Iyla's question to Emma the dog- What do you mean THIS stuff is not the present!?!?

Santa's little helper assisting Daddy in cleaning up from package arrival. What a good helper!!

We are SURE Santa will be good to the Gustin family this year. For a couple of us, he already has!!!! :)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our dear readers!!
