It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

It is still a work in progress

Here are our decorators!

Ho! Ho! Ho!

This was Sam's hat 2 years ago! It fits Darren perfect! How cute is that!!

Well Thanksgiving came and went without a single picture. So now I have no proof of my beautiful pies or Turkey. At least I have witnesses. Rod's parents came and we had a wonderful visit. Sunday night we decided to get the tree up. This is our first year with and artificial tree. Rod's parents picked it up and the end of the year last year for 90% off! We just could not pass it up. I must admit I have never been a fan of fake trees, but this one is really beautiful, and so easy. It was up in 10min! With the lights already on! That is always a huge frustration for me. I can never get the lights on just right.

The kids had so much fun getting the ornaments out. Sydney and Sam were very concerned about which ornaments were theirs. They had so much fun getting them all up on the tree. Sam has spent all day today taking them off, but I am hoping the novelty wears off soon.

Thank you Mom and Dad for thinking of us and picking up this tree. It is wonderful.

We hope all of you are having a wonderful start to your holiday season. It is such a wonderful time of year! We love all of you very much! May the Spirit of Christ fill your homes during this special time and all through the year!
