We are all in full blown Christmas mode and it's exciting to see all of the sweet Christmas things that are going on in my community. We've started decorating our house, but are finding that trying to decorate with a super busy baby and a 3 year old helper slow things down a bit. It's sweet and I'm glad we are decorating together. I'll have to give you a little Christmas house tour when we get finished.
We have lots to look forward to this month so I made a Family Fun To Do List of things we hope to get to do in December. Nothing stressful and we aren't trying to cross every single thing off the list. It just gives us ideas of things we can do if we want to do them. We worked on the list together and made sure to get input from everyone. I'll post the list somewhere in our kitchen to remind us of the fun that awaits.
