Happy New Year!

25 days till.....

It's beginning to look like Christmas!!

We have the tree up and decorated!

The kids did a great job, Caitlin picked up each ornament saying how adorable it was before putting it on the tree.



They wanted to take some pictures with Einstein, but he did not cooperate.






We went to the library and picked up some Christmas books to read each night before bed. Tonight was, "A Possible Tree" by Josephine Haskell Aldridge. I love the old vintage books.



We have a list of cookies we want to bake, and Dawson loves the Peppermint Ice Cream we make every year so I'm hoping to still fit in my clothes by the end of our little count down to Christmas!! LOL! Happy Holiday's!!!
