The holiday season...


This year, Christmas is sneaking up on us more than any other year.  I have been busily counting down the arrival of our little one so much so that I have neglected the upcoming holiday.  The college students are now done with school and the atmosphere is much more relaxed, hooray!  Only 2 days left for Blaine and 1 day left for AJ and then everyone will be home with me until the new year.

The tree was finally decorated, thanks to Jessica we started a tradition of making our own ornaments.  Outdoor lights set up.  Cards were mailed.  Neighbor gifts have been delivered.  Treats have been made.  Shopping is almost completed.  The advent calendar is slowly filling up.  We have three days - bring on the Jolly Holiday!
