As I'm sitting here in the early-morning quiet, the calm before the storm of everyone waking up, I can't help but think about all that needs to be done and feel a bit anxious about it all. I guess we'll just take it a day at a time, but still plan ahead. We like to keep Christmas simple, and that will include visiting the Creche exhibit on Friday and picking out a Christmas tree on Saturday.
I really pared down the Christmas decorations when we moved, so I'll have to go through them to determine what our tree will need in order to look halfway decent. We also must put lights on the outside of the house, we have the perfect front porch for it! So the bulk of our decorating will come from lights, and the kids and I will be making some decorations for the tree to keep the cost at a minimum.
We still haven't taken a picture for the Christmas card, so I'm hoping to get that done in the next few days, get them ordered and print labels to mail them out. I have been VERY lax about this in the past few years, so I'm hoping to get back in the swing of things and send them out every year again.
I hope you all have a Wonderful December, a Merry Christmas, and a Prosperous New Year! I'm so appreciative that you take time out of your busy day to visit our little corner of the blogosphere!

And to the person who knocked on our door last night and left a huge, gorgeous bag of mandarins, I apologize for being asleep on the couch, cuddled up with my two little boys and a snoring dog, while pretending to be watching a movie. When I woke up from my little snooze, they informed me that someone had been knocking on the door. Thanks for the heads up, boys.

we got half our tree decoration in the dollar section at target...they've got some good stuff! oh and the other half we got from mother nature :) we went out and got a bunch of pine cones, got the spray on snow for a buck on wal mart and some glitter, sprayed them with the snow and then added a little glitter to make it sparkle, VERY cute and oh so cheap!
