Merry Christmas!!

We have them up!! Each year we do something a little different and for the first time, we have a large Christmas tree!! It is fake, but that doesn't really matter, it just means we can enjoy it longer! We do not have the outside Christmas lights up; hopefully we will soon. We also have our little Christmas tree on top of the entertainment center and a little scene on the hutch (that Janine has to see before I post it).

Thanksgiving was at Uncle John and Tante Rita's; other blogs have pictures so I won't post them here. On Friday we got up and had breakfast together and Mom and Dad left to go shopping.(What?! they didn't get up early? *gasp*) we had to

  1. finish dishes
  2. get down decor boxes
  3. take down thanksgiving decor (which includes taking squash out to feed the cow)
  4. put up both trees (big and little)
  5. decorate trees
  6. set up all other stuff (like in the entryway)
  7. put empty(ish) boxes away

we had 2 hours 4 min. 12 sec. (actually made up this time- somewhere around that time) when they came home, everything was done!

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

You three kids did a wonderful job decorating for Christmas. It was fantastic coming home to the house all decorated and all the Thanksgiving decor put away!
