Christmas is Almost Here!

With less than forty days until Christmas, the mil10s have already started making preparations for the big day. The car radio has been set on "The Christmas Station" since they started playing nothing but Christmas music this week. Some small decorations have already been brought out of storage and put into place inside the house. The trees and all of the other decorations will come in this weekend! Tonight EK started listening to The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. He will listen to it the next few nights when he goes to bed.

Christmas cards are one thing that the mil10s like put some thought into. We always enjoy looking at last year’s cards when we are unpacking all of the Christmas decorations. It is always fun to be reminded of all of the friends that shared holiday cheer.

Selecting the perfect picture for a photo card isn’t always easy. We have done the staged family photo in front of the tree. Last year’s pictures were from a recent trip to Walt Disney World. This year? Well, remember, picking the photo isn’t always easy. We have not always narrowed it down! Thankfully we have almost forty days until Christmas!
