It's time to decorate for Christmas!

Sorry, it has been so long, but for the past two weeks, I have been literally running from one thing to the next and then collapsing in bed! After the chaos of closing on the lake house, Skylar had a swim meet, we had Taekwondo testing for our orange belts, then we ran up to the lake house to show the kids and Marilyn and Jim. Then we left early Sunday morning for the 14 hour drive down to Nashville (just me and the kids). All sorts of fun stuff for the week; the Boulevard Bolt, baby showers, 17 people in one house plus four dogs... Do you think I could manage to get a picture of anything? NO! Finally, we ended up with a 15 1/2 hour drive back from Nashville due to bad traffic, flat tires and being pulled over by the police for having a taillight out. We made it back Sunday at midnight. Since then, I have been running around like a manic trying to clean out the car, do tons of laundry and get everything back in its place. However, you can't start December without the advent calendars up, so we had to pause a little in all of the craziness to get out some Christmas decorations. The kids were so happy to get out the decorations, wear their santa hats, and listen to Christmas music. We only got a little done today, but no worries, we will get the rest done tomorrow (Skylar was a swim practice and Brennen refused to wear his hat). I pick up the tree in the morning and they are really looking forward to decorating the tree!
