Its December Already!

Yesterday we put our Christmas tree up. It definately doesn't look like it stepped out of Martha Stewart Living, but it's special to us. For starters, the bottom half of the tree is bare (with a one year old, this preserves my sanity). Also, it has some ornaments made from things such as paper plates and popsicle sticks. Its also a bit crooked...okay alot crooked but the boys haven't noticed.

Today we are leaving on our Christmas shopping trip to Grand Rapids. This is something that I have waited all year long for and something i'm extremely grateful to Jeremiah for. See, he gets 7 personal days a year at work and in December gets paid for the days he doesn't take. Jeremiah didn't take one day this year... not one. So not only does that make him a terrific employee, it makes him a terrific husband who brings home a big check so his wife can go Christmas shopping :D

We are also bringing Isaac to Chuck E. Cheese for his birthday, something he has been waiting all year for.
