The hustle and bustle of the holidays!


Christmas time is truly here, and our house is constantly full of cheer. We sing and laugh, and dance around. Bells a tingle, such a pleasant sound. No bundling up, no wet sloshy snow, we just flit here and there, wherever we want to go. The boys are both angels, and the dog running merrily. The cats play in the tree, and Jay does the caroling. The house all aglow with a multitude of lights, and a santa mom punches who can't put up a fight. Christmas is here and we just love the season. When January comes maybe we will have gained back our reason....

This week has been hectic for me. Flying in and out of Sacramento, getting family back to their homes, Jay's brother visiting us during the week. But you know, we still got our christmas shopping done. The boys were hilarious buying for each other. They are so much into the same things that they couldn't really hide what they were getting for each other. We would go to one aisle, oops, there was Jace looking. They would come to a new aisle, there was Jaron and I looking. It happened all night long. They did the best they could though. I am always glad when the shopping is done so I can freting over the cost and start anticipating the holidays. We also did the shopping for Toys for Tots last night. Jaron had a hard time looking through the dolls and barbies. We chose a few of each and he had to get out of the whole aisle. You would think they would poison him or something. We ended up with a large number of boy items and a fair number of girl items. We won't see the childrens faces when they open a new toy, but it is very pleasing to know that someone will get to open it.
