lights are up. the tree is up. harper can sing jingle bells. what else do we really need?
we went to the elgin christmas tree farm to cut down a tree for the living room. h seemed to have fun riding behind a tractor and watching mommy cut down the tree. unfortunately someone accidentally took our tree somewhere between paying for it, getting snacks and playing on the playground. it worked out ok because they let us have a frazier fur tree that was much nicer than the one we picked out. she didn't seem to be overly interested in helping us decorate, but she did enjoy watching rudolph and would occasionally look at some of the ornaments. right now, she understands that santa is coming. he brings gifts to all of the good boys and girls. rudolph's nose is red. santa says ho ho ho. i'm sure she is going to get tons of gifts, which makes it hard to figure out what to get for her.
she has is going to have lots of visitors in december. lolo and lola are here right now. merrily arrived last week. jan and bill are coming at the end of december. it is nice having family around for the holidays.
