Holiday Bustling!

Let's go back to last week. The rush started to make sure I had everything ready for Santa.

Jaxx had his class party and I ordered these cookies for his class. Remember the pink "J" cookies for Jaya's birthday at school? Well, these were made by the same bakery. It is Barb's Bakery and it is very well known in the Valley of the Sun as "THE" bakery. Their stuff is fantastic and these cookies were perfect for the occassion. I did get repremanded on the phone a little bit when I called to order them because they like to have their orders 3 days in advance and I wanted them the next day. What can I say? I thought they would have Santa cookies coming out of their you know whats, this time of year, but apparently that is not the case. Anyway, the cookies were a huge hit and it makes up for the trouble of getting them, worth it.

So, after dropping Jaxx off for school. I went to my tennis ATA open house party held by Jill. It was very nice and Jaya made out like a bandit. Jill packed her a bunch of goodies to go. We left Jill's and headed to Jaya's dance class. She will be off of dance now for 2 weeks so she will really be ready to go back.

I love this picture!

Hmmmm, not exactly built like a ballerina quite yet.

She can put her nose on the floor and stretch like crazy!

We left ballet and went back to school to get Jaxx. Then we went to Papa and Grama's house. Dad needed a picture taken for a bio and I snapped this at the end.

It has been crazy just like your life has been. You know the last minute things that you forget about until it is almost to late.
The kids and I went to lunch today with Andrea and Dillon. I stopped at the bank first and in that same center as the bank, there is a Honey Baked Ham store. It was RIDICULOUS to try to find a spot and manuever through the sidewalk, just to get to the bank. Talk about crazy. The line was insanely long and I was thinking about my cute little honey baked ham knock off from Fresh and Easy sitting in my 'fridge. It was a good feeling, as if to say silently to these people, "Ha Ha, I already got my ham and paid less". I haven't tasted it yet though so I will have to report later.

Anyway, after bustling (what a funny word), delivering cards and Fairytale Brownies, wrapping, driving, shopping, returning and shopping again, this is what I feel like.

I found Jaya in bed last night looking like this. My client gave her the cutest purple purse and lipgloss's from one of her favorite hotspots "Sweet and Sassy". She always loves their bags because the handles are little crowns. She went in her closet and got her Princess hat on and fell fast asleep. This pretty much sums up the feelings after all the "bustling".

Hope your finished "bustling" too.
