Christmas Time! My favorite time of year!

Well, as you can see, our tree is up and Cole helped by putting the star on the tree! Last year he tried, but Kaleigh inevitably had to do it.

I think daddy's shoulders were getting tired! We are happy to be getting everything ready! Our lights are on the house, our big snowman and son are blown up in the front yard, and we have three mini lit trees in front of the house too. It all looks very festive. The month of course always goes by WAY too fast! Kaleigh's birthday falls in December and we do the party thing early then as soon as that is over, we get out the decorations and get our tree. Ain' it purdy?

Then all the Christmas gatherings, my ornament exchange with the teachers from school, Carl's company Christmas party and then of course Christmas cheer with friends at our house then Christmas Eve at our house and then, Christmas Day at Carl's sisters house....whew! Busy, busy, busy! I am tired just thinking about it...oh and in the middle of all that I have to bake 4 different types of cookies! Take after my dad of course!

Well, more later...
