Preparing for Christmas

Sorry this is a little late. It has been a crazy few weeks at our home. I feel like I am getting to know the court house rather well.

Well, this is going to be our FIRST Christmas with children in our home. I can't tell you how excited we are. We went out and bought 3 more stockings. I didn't ever know if we would have that opportunity. We already bought Divyne one present and have it sitting on her dresser until we can find a box to wrap it in. She keeps grabbing for it but can't quit reach it. Christmas morning is never really Christmas until you have little ones to share it with. It just isn't fun if that person KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE GETTING (just had to put this little ad lib in there LOL!! ) So needless to say Christmas will be a lot of fun this year (even though I know what I am getting).

We had the kids help us put up Christmas decorations and that was an experience. Needless to say out living room wasn't so clean afterwards but it was fun. Since Riley is the oldest we let him put on the star. He had a lot of fun.

We are excited to see what this year brings and hopefully if the weather stays as nice as it is now (other than the cold temperatures) Grandma & Grandpa Aikele can come up to Northern Idaho for Christmas (well the week after Christmas). We are excited. I just can't belelive Christmas and the New Year are just around the corner.
