Dogs Love Christmas too...




We have had our Christmas tree up for a couple days now. I keep finding Lucky either sleeping under the tree or right next to it. I guess even dogs like to soak in the Christmas spirit :)

I like to think he remembers it was just a few days before Christmas last year that he joined our family.

Plus laying down looking at Christmas tree lights is one of the coolest things ever!

Christmas Prep



Why does it seem like once November 1st hits it feels like Christmas is upon us? Each year I try to get everything done by the first part of December so that the rest of December we can just spend time celebrating the season and not worrying about lists to do. Of course that does make for a busy Novemeber as I have spent a lot of time the past few days researching and buying gifts. Can I just say how much I love Amazon, Target.com and overstock :)

I have it on great authority that Santa has already chosen his 3 special gifts for each of the children.

Jim and I have done our part and will be ready to present the kids their yearly gift of pajamas to open Christmas Eve and also another Caldecott book.

Next..... the impossible task of trying to get a family picture of six for a Christmas card :) Thank goodness for photo shop. Then we will work on extended family gifts.




Oh and in case you were wondering I now have two kids in the house that can read what I type on the blog :)
