We hit the ground running with Christmas cheer this year. Immediately after Thanksgiving we put up the real tree in the living room and filled each weekend with holiday activities.
Jay and I always enjoy serving at our church's Christmas Kindness event which provides gifts for local families in need. This function really put the reason for the season into perspective. I helped four families shop, but one particular grandmother had both Jay and me in tears with her gratefulness. I think we have found someone meant to be in our lives.
While the boys did some shopping, Maggie and I joined Gram at the Marietta Tour of Homes on Sunday. I had not attended the tour since Maggie was a baby. The historic houses were beautiful and provided so many new decorating ideas. Thank you, Gram, for a festive day together!
The elves have been up to their antics again, but to be honest, Jacob has little interest in them. Tuttle and Maggie used to bound out of bed every morning to hunt them down, but Jacob just casually mentions if he sees them, sometimes going until the evening until he notices. Much less pressure but also the real possibility for the elves to forget to move. :)
Let's do this, December!
