Getting Ready for Christmas

This year, the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas was only 26 days, making December feel rushed and hectic for everyone. We picked out our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving and got to work decorating the house.  




Holiday cheer


Gene purchased some new outdoor decor to replace broken items. Henry insisted on riding the reindeer every time he went outside.  


Frosty came back... a couple of days late. The holiday season must have gotten to him too! 


Frosty tried to help address our Christmas cards, which got out before Christmas (just barely).  


Even with the busy-ness, we did find time for some holiday traditions, like the annual V&E gingerbread party. There is so much to do at the party, but the boys just want to eat brunch and decorate their houses.  They were so careful this year! 





A new holiday tradition is the Christmas concert at Kinkaid.  Will plays in the orchestra and they are really quite good!




We also celebrated the December birthdays on the 21st. Happy birthday to Mary and Mike!


Holiday stresses?  Grab a dog for some comfort


or a cup of hot coffee (or cocoa) with whipped cream on top!


Here's hoping you all survived the short holiday season of 2019!
