I’m so excited that in just three days my sister and her family will be here for Christmas!  I have of course spoiled my nephews completely rotten with tons of gifts.  My husband, daughter and I exchange small gifts with each other, and I’ve always exchanged gifts with my sister even when we have to ship them 1300 miles to get to each other.  Not wanting to leave my brother-in-law a sad panda, I wanted to get him something to open as well, but needed some Christmas present ideas.

I don’t think life gets any crazier than in the month of December. Between every day activities and then all the holiday hustle and bustle I feel like I need a 27 hour day to fit every thing in. I don’t want to drop the proverbial ball though when it comes to dinner, but at this time of the year I’m all about quick and easy.
