We're getting there


Everywhere you go people are always asking, "are you ready for Christmas?" My answer has been "we're getting there". No, the shopping's not done, the cards aren't done, the outside lights didn't get put up (Jack did put up the outside swags on the windows! My hero!). We did have the Church social last night but the tree still wasn't up. We were undecided about doing a real one or fake...fake won. Nobody was really interested in watering so I finally dug out the fake one I don't care for... but I think it turned out pretty good. Sort of like Charlie Brown, once the lights and decorations are all on, it looks like a nice tree! I'm not putting any presents under it (since I don't have many of them bought anyhow)because something tells me Eddy the fun loving boxer would just love to investigate to see what's inside...and eat it. I just hope he doesn't decide to chase Squeak around the tree and have a Craig and Amy moment! So my question for all of you is "Are you ready yet?" Please don't ask me....

Oh my goshhhhh!!! I am falling in love with that dog! He has such an expression on his innocent face! -And since I am reading "Marley & Me" (yes, I know you gave it to me for Christmas two years ago, and I am finally getting around to reading it...) I think Eddie reminds me a little of Marley!
PS: The tree looks beautiful.

Your dog is so cute! We saw Craig, Amy, and the kiddos on Saturday at our Stake activity. We love them! Taylor looked SOO cute with his little head wrap! Katie didn't want one (I don't blame her! hehe) Amy looked so cute!! She always does. She is so ready! We were hoping to see the baby before we left for Ohio, but I don't think the timing will work out.:( We will definitely see her when we come back to SC, though. We will see you guys soon!

they ask me if I'm ready for the baby and if I'm ready for christmas. double whammy! I guess the answer is "ready as I'll ever be"! Thanks for the Christmas goodies and deco! The peg leg santa is super cute and I love the recipe book, I have recipe cards floating all over the kitchen so now they have a final resting place.
