O Christmas Tree

The girls admiring their handy work with the Christmas tree....they did a great job! Our Griswald Tree is FABULOUS!

Aunt Rox and Uncle Jack...finally it is cold enough to wear the adorable pj's you sent....WE LOVE THEM!!! Addy danced around all night!

Kaitlyn was helping her Daddy with the Christmas lights all afternoon....he would put them in piles of lights that worked and then she would rearrange them in a way that made sense to her...it was so much fun to watch as Brent loaded the whole tree with lights that he thought were the working ones, but little did he know those were just the ones that Kaitlyn thought had the prettiest bulbs...a lot of strands did not work when it came time to plug in the finished tree and he had to redo it after the kids went to bed!!! Oops....:)

So yes - our house is already decorated for the Holiday season. It is fun to have everything up earlier this year as now we can enjoy it for a little bit longer! I was so excited too as I always loved how we had garland and lights up the stairs in our house in Indiana when we were there that one year - so Brent helped me and we made that happen here - it is wonderful and warms my heart!

I have been enjoying a Christmas themed dance show this morning from the girls - thanks Aunt Val and Chelsea for the music you sent we have really put it to good use. I wish you all could see some of the moves that come about - it kind of reminds me of a combination of Brad's old fraternity dance (remember that one he broke out in Old Forge at the DJ party - jumping up and down in circles and waving his hands...come on you remember) and then all of us doing Footloose being crazy. I love it so much as it really makes me laugh so hard that I cry!

Life has been great here lately - we have been getting together with some new friends, which is always a blessing. Dr.'s appts are going really good - nothing new to report just the waiting game now. Everyone is flourishing....well we love you, miss you, and send kisses to you all! Congrats on the Colts win - it was a fun game to watch especially with Patriots fans in the house! :) (Sorry Jon & Summer)...
