The Tree is Up!

It's the beginning of November and our Christmas Tree is up. Yea, I know I can hear the groans. Trust me when I say it was not my idea! However, when Brianna came to me and said "Please it's my last Christmas living at home, mom. PLEASE!" How could I say no.

So on Saturday, November 1 Ben and Brianna went into the attic and brought down the Christmas tree and the decorations. And together we put the tree up.

We have a tradition in our family, while we are putting the tree up we watch "A Muppet Christmas Carol." I love that movie. So do the kids. We had a wonderful time, and when Geoff came home from a meeting he looked at all of us, shook his head and said "You're all nuts!" Then he went downstairs.

Next weekend we'll be putting up the Christmas Village. This year it will take up our entire dinning room. Which isn't saying much - the dinning room is really small.

So I guess it's safe to say that in our household Christmas is beginning to arrive. Truth is - I'm not complaining one bit. I love Christmas.

The countdown continues

188 days till Geoff's Graduation
235 days till Brianna's Graduation

Have a great beginning of Christmas everyone!
