Christmas Preparations

Our first Saturday of December was a busy one. Clayton's last football game of the season was first. (I'll get some photos uploaded soon, they're on my phone since I forgot the camera.) Afterward, we headed home for showers and lunch (and a nap for Gaby) before running off to Thomas' preschool Christmas program. All the kids were dressed so sweet and sang their little hearts out. Thomas was such a trooper, singing and doing the actions with only his left arm. It was really cute!








After the program, we headed out to find the perfect Christmas tree. It was quite a chore this year, taking three stops at different lots to find the one we wanted. We did find a pretty one and the boys, especially Thomas, were all about decorating it. Here's a couple photos. I have yet to take a photo of the finished product, so you'll have to wait on that. It's lovely and especially endearing to me with lots of ornaments clustered right at four-year old height. Gaby's loving the tree, but doing a really good job with "no touch."




I've been really on top of Christmas shopping early this year and decorating, but the cards have fallen to the wayside. I finally have them finished, though they haven't arrived quite yet. Anyway, I wanted to take a photo of the kids in front of the tree this year, but it didn't work out. This was the final (and truthfully, probably the best!) attempt. They looked half-asleep or bored to death in all the others. We went with a photo from the summer. Hope to have them in your mailboxes soon!
