It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I'll admit it -there is just too much going on from Thanksgiving to Christmas to keep up with the blog. We have had a bout of sickness go through the house to include ear infection, eye buggers, bronchitis, cold, coughs, fevers, and chills. We are hoping everyone is feeling better by the time we board our plane to WI!



In the last month we welcomed Dad home from Reserve duty, celebrated Thanksgiving, had a dusting of snow, made some holiday treats, decorated the Christmas tree, wrapped some presents, and mailed our Christmas cards - all of which included Sam & Madie helping. And let me tell you it takes ten times as long to do it all with two 2 year olds "helping" however their big smiles make it all worth it! It's also worth it when you hear them singing "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" at 6:00 a.m.!

Yea! Daddy!

Big hugs for everyone!
