It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas...

Today, we put up our Christmas decorations around the house and outside! 

Usually, we go cut down our tree, decorate the house and put everything outside all in one day.  This year, about a week ago, we decided that we wanted to make it a weekend event.  We looked at the weather and decided today was perfect to do everything but our big tree.  Tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful so it will be a perfect day to be outside.  Our kids have also both been fighting a little stomach bug (thanks Uncle Pooh), so it worked out perfectly to stay home today.  We had intentions to go to breakfast with Santa this morning with friends, but Cohan wanted to stay in his PJs.  He also asked why we couldn't just text Santa.  Oh boy.  So, instead, there was a number kids could call today, here in Columbia, and talk to Santa.  He loved that and was excited to tell Santa he wanted a fire truck and trash man (truck)!! 

 

So, we stayed home and decked our halls around here...
