Christmas is Here!

Well since they have all the decorations up in the stores and we saw Santa in the mall the other day, I figured it wasn't too early to decorate our house as well! So...Saturday we pulled out all the Christmas stuff and started decorating. I know it's probably dumb to put up a tree and get out all that stuff when we're moving next month, but Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday and I just have to decorate for it.

Timothy was hilarious, everything we pulled out of the box, he would get all excited and yell, "mommy, look!!" and then we'd hear all about Santa or the snowman or the Christmas tree. We have a fake tree, it's not my favorite or what I would prefer, but we got it our first Christmas together when we had a puppy and a cat so we didn't want them tearing up a real tree and then the next Christmas we had a baby and then a toddler and now two kiddos so it's been good to not have to worry about a real tree, but I think we'll probably get rid of it after this year and get real ones from now on. I love having the tree up though, there's just something magical about Christmas lights, they make me smile.

We have such a busy month ahead, I really don't know when I'll be able to get on here, hopefully a little next week. The kids and I leave Thursday to go to San Antonio until next Tuesday, I'm hoping to find a house and start to learn my way around a little more. I am meeting with a realtor Saturday and Sunday and then I have an interview at a recruiting firm on Monday so I'll be really busy. My dad's running in a half marathon Sunday morning so we're all going downtown to see him finish that and the rest of the time we'll be spending with my brother and his family. I'm a little nervous to be flying with Timothy and Charlotte all on my own, and even more nervous about getting the three of us to sleep in a hotel room, but we'll manage!

So we got home from SA on Tuesday and then the next Saturday all four of us fly down to Houston for the week for Thanksgiving. So next week I'll basically be doing laundry and re-packing everything! Timothy's really excited to ride on Papa's tractor though and I'm excited for Charlotte to get to meet all of Brandon's family. And then we got home and it's practically December which only leaves me a few weeks to pack and clean and then we're heading South!

Anyway, pray for me this weekend! Hopefully I won't go completely crazy! Here's some pictures from our Christmas decorating!
