Last week I ordered our Christmas cards and to my surprise, they arrived today! A week early! Strangely enough, I love designing our Christmas cards and I hope you enjoy receiving them as well. The Christmas tree will finally be up this weekend and I have finished our "Christmas Activities" list and posted it on our fridge. :) I like to write down everything I plan on doing so that my husband can't complain when I spring something on him like going ice skating or making a gingerbread house with my nieces and nephews. "It is on the list, Honey." HA!
This year, my entire family will be together. It's been a long time since my parents have been on their mission in Bermuda. I can't wait to go sledding, make Norwegian cookies, watch Christmas Vacation, and get Santa pictures taken as a family. Yes, we have all grown up and still get our picture taken with Santa. It's been a tradition in my family and we can't stop until Erik and I have a baby. When that time comes, the adults are finally free. You should see Erik and my two brother-in-laws at the mall waiting in line. They are so miserable and can't wait to get out of there. Thankfully, they tough it out for the sake of tradition.

Anyway, I hope you and your families are enjoying the Christmas season as much as I am. Only 23 more days to go!

Christmas will be very exciting this year with the entire family together. I'm glad we live close so you can help me with all of the preparations.
I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! I'm going to be very sad when it comes time to stop taking Santa pictures as a family. I've been doing it for 32 years now. Maybe we could convince the guys to just keep doing it until we can't all fit in the picture anymore:)
I totally want to see you and Erik and all the adults waiting in line for santa! So funny!
that is actually a really awesome picture with Santa! I love little chloe in it! Thats a great idea about making the list of everything to keep the husbands from complaining too much! Aren't you glad that we are free from finals this year! I am planning on enjoying this month the fullest without all of that stress!
I certainly enjoy Christmas as much as you! And I love that you have a list. I just read a book that the list reminds me of - "The Queen of Christmas" by Mary Englebright - you should read it! Have fun this year
