How do you get two adults, three kids, five suitcases and WAY too many Christmas presents in the car?

Weather report doesn't look good for Illinois and Missouri tomorrow, and since we're supposed to drive across both states, B and I have made an executive decision. We're leaving today.

Know what that means?

Pack like crazy. Pray the laundry in the dryer actually gets dry. Hope the Christmas shopping is done. Drink copious amounts of caffeine. And head on out.

We'll be enjoying sunny, and hopefully warmer-than-here, Dallas for Christmas. I'm not taking my laptop and won't be blogging, so check back with me around New Year's Eve.

And have a wonderful time celebrating the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Merry Christmas!
