Oh Christmas Tree...

Wow, it's been a while since I updated here! A lot has happened in the past month... we've sold the house and are about 3 weeks out from our move. The movers will come on the 30th and we close on the 31st. Happy New Year to us!!

On to the Christmas tree...

The kids have been begging to put up the tree since Thanksgiving weekend. I finally gave in and decided not to bring out the glass balls and fancy bows, but instead use a few special family ornaments and all of the exchange ornaments from my July '97 email loop. I've been a part of this group since I was pregnant with McKenna (going on 8 years now - wow!), so these ornaments are very special to me!


This will be our last Christmas in this house, which is a little sad on many counts. Jay won't be home for Christmas this year since he's still in Georgia, but we'll be celebrating again in January when we're all back together again. It will be hard on all of us, but especially hard on him. Hopefully the box of goodies we're going to send him and fellowship with his friends will help ease the ache.

Only 13 days 'til Christmas... I need to get my rear in gear!!
