Well, The Christmas cards are done and stuff (yet to be mailed...That is a project for Lunch time!) We got almost all of the shopping done (just a few minor things left). The stocking are hung (not by the chimney...We don’t have one, but on the wall) with care of course. For the most part we are ready for Christmas. The kids are very excited for Santa to come. I am excited to spend time with our families, and watch the kids this holiday. They are the perfect ages to really appreciate the magic of Christmas. We are going to go the Church on Christmas eve, I always remember as a kid loving the candle light service, signing Silent Night in the dark. It was always a magical time! I want the kids to experience that, and remember the true meaning of Christmas.

This past week, was a lot of fun. Both Rylee and Eli had their Holiday Programs on Friday. Rylee’s was the kindgarten class. They have over 100 Kindergarteners! They sang several songs! It was very cute. Eli’s Preschool Program was at night. He did fairly well, but in true Eli style he was a bit of a card. He waved to everyone in the “crowd” several times. Then when he was supposed to be playing the Bells, he covered his ears. Apparently it was too loud! Too loud to play, but not too loud to take your hands off your ears and wave at Grandma! That boy! I got video and Pictures, but left my camera at Cheryl’s house on Saturday night. We were there celebrating Taylor’s 15th birthday!
