Our Christmas Tree

Thought I'd share this layout of the kids helping to get the Christmas tree decorated this year. I haven't had a chance to try to get a pretty picture of it at night with the lights on yet. If I do I'm hoping to swap the new pic for the one of the tree on this layout.

In other news...my baby girl is 4 today!!!! :(
She's growing up too fast. And the fact that Kyle is 5 1/2 and I'm turning 30 next month is really doing nothing but making me feel OLD!!!! LOL Her party is tomorrow and I'm hoping it goes well. We have a surprise in store for her (a new bike) and I hope she likes it. The only problem with having a December birthday is that the weather is crummy and she probably won't be able to ride it for several months. But at least it will be waiting for her first thing next summer.

We're also about to begin the craziness of the holiday season. Meaning running from place to place to place. We have a Christmas on Sat., one on Sunday, one on Monday, one on the 30th, one on the 31st, then the game feed on New Year's day, another Christmas on the 6th of Jan. and one on Jan. 23rd. Then I think we'll be done! Whew! We even missed one of our Christmas get togethers on the 17th due to Jason hunting and then going to Grandpa Notz's house for his birthday. There would have been one more on the list!

The kids are extremely excited about Santa coming this year which is making it really fun for me as a parent. Their excitement is contagious. :)

They both had their last day of school today and tomorrow starts winter break. We'll see if I have fun during the week that they are off school or if I go crazy and lose all my hair. lol Maybe they'll learn how to sleep in during this time. ;)

Hey, I had a rare opportunity to sit down and watch a movie from start to finish with no interuption. Jenevieve even snuggled up on my lap and fell asleep. Staying there through the whole movie. (she hardly ever naps anymore and almost never wants to fall asleep while being held so i really enjoyed it) The movie I watched was Akeelah And The Bee. If you haven't seen it yet, watch it! It was wonderful.

Well, I'd better attempt to get this place presentable for the party tomorrow night. Lots of cleaning to do still. I'm also going to post some of the other new layouts I've done recently. Enjoy!

Have a great night,
Jen
