It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas!

We haven't been blogging too much lately for two main reasons. One, the flash on my camera isn't working, and that makes taking pictures less fun since they just don't turn out so well. And two, after many years of talking about it, Kent and I are finally going to list our home, and preparing for that has taken up most of our spare time. And as we pack and paint and fix and clean, we are also preparing for a last Christmas in our cozy little home . . .

The 2010 Christmas card photo has been taken, and the cards have been mailed . . .

The tree has been trimmed . . .

Our elf has been making daily appearances in various places . . .

We have a new advent calendar this year . . .

The nativity scene from Aunt Dawn has been arranged (and rearranged several times) . . .

Holiday programs have been performed . . .


Cookie dough has been rolled and baked and eaten . . .

Gingerbread houses have been decorated with the help of cousins . . .



And, we have lots of family in town this month to help us celebrate the holiday season.

We hope all of our friends and family, both near and far, have a wonderful Christmas and New Year! Merry Christmas!!!
