Countdown, Part Two...

I am in a state of shock.

We actually have every gift purchased, wrapped and waiting to be placed under the tree...

In 13 years, this has never happened...

Ok, that's not quite true...since Christmas 2001, this has not happened...which means that since Ian was one and a half years old, we have been up until long past midnight wrapping gifts for children, for each other and for various family members...

And since we have four young children, that has meant that every Christmas morning, we have dragged ourselves down the stairs while our children tear down to the living room to see if Santa actually made it to our house...

But this is Christmas Eve...and technically, it's not even "Eve" yet; it's only 4:20 pm and we have everything done...

I didn't even know this was possible for the Lilley household...

Wow...a Merry Christmas indeed!
