Christmas is coming!

This year has FLOWN by.  Its amazing to me.  Christmas is approaching, and I love Christmas.  Usually I am super stressed about it... its financially draining, I feel our entire Christmas is a big rush.   This year however, I did cut back a bit on gifts.  We have less debt than we did last year (although our cars, and house seem to be draining our bank account as of late) but it could be MUCH worse.  I am really excited to see Addison with her gifts this year.  She wants all toys that she sees at stores, and in the catalogs that have been coming in the mail.  Exciiiting!

So far this year, we've been lucky with little snow, and mild temperatures....but it is a bit strange to see brown ground so close to Christmas.  Luckily, I have KDWB's Christmas wish, and Ellen's 12 days of give aways to make it feel more Christmas(ish).

I am hoping to get to Eagle Brook's Christmas mass this year, and I think I have Nate on board to come with me. Score! :)
We had the annual Christmas party on the Lallas side last week, and Addison was able to sit on Santa's lap.  Of course I had to be close by.

I will leave with a photo of Santa, Addison and myself :)  I will try and blog daily, or nightly.  Wish me luck :)
