I can hardly believe that today is the first day of December already. This year has really flown by!
This past weekend, we went to a tree farm. Grace and her cousin enjoyed a tracker ride and pony drawn carriage ride around the farm. We were there for hours. It was dark by the time we finally selected our tree and were ready to head home. All the walking did not tire Jon too much to get on the roof and hang the lights, though!
And back on the topic of the tree...it is a humdinger! It must be almost 10 feet tall. We decorated it Sunday night and even with all our ornaments (and we have many) it still isn't too much. While we were at it, we went ahead and hung all the other decorations in the house as well.
Today grace opened the first door of our 24 days until Christmas Santa train (aka our secular spin on an Advent calendar!). She asked to open it before school so that she could have the treat in her lunch bag for today.
In the days ahead, I have Melody's first birthday party to plan. I feel sad to think my baby is almost one! We are going with a Dr. Seuss theme and just having something small at home.
I have rambled long enough for one day.
