On Saturday, Katrina and I drive to Anchorage to pick up Alex and Peter (weather permitting). Hopefully, we will also get in a Costco run and meet up with some friends while we are up there. Unfortunately, even with perfect driving conditions, we won't be home until the morning of my birthday.
Sunday, Trevor, Katrina, Connor, and I need to be to church early (9 am) for practice (and altar server duties) before mass. My birthday movie marathon (the rebooted Star Trek trilogy) starts at 1:30. I've heard from a few people who have said that they will at least pop in for one of the shows.
Monday is Christmas Eve. I'm playing the guitar for the children's choir at 5pm (meeting there by 4:30). The little boys are joining me. Later, Trevor, Katrina, and I are singing at the "midnight" mass (at 9 pm).
Tuesday is Christmas. I playing my guitar for the 10 am mass. After that, we hope to open presents, feast, and be merry.
Wednesday, the 26th, is our day of recovery, which will probably involve either going to Kenai to watch the animated Spider-man movie or going to the Orca to watch Bumblebee (or both).
On Thursday, Katrina and Peter fly out of Kenai.
The next Friday is currently unplanned.
Saturday is the boys' Cub Scout pizza and pool party.
If all goes according the plan, the Jacks will be down here on Sunday the 30th in preparation for our annual New Year's celebration.
The 31st will contain said celebration.
The 1st is a day of recovery.
I believe that the next planned day is another trip up to Anchorage on Thursday the 3rd, as we say goodbye to Alex.
And then we're back to school on the 7th.
Wow! I hope I scheduled time to breathe in there!
