How many times have I used that phrase as a blog title in December? More than once I'm sure. With less than a week left until the holiday, it's definitely looking like Christmas. The tree is up and while Coco rearranges some of the ornaments daily, it's decorated. Most of the presents are bought, none of them are wrapped but that's what the weekend is for. I've started sending out Christmas cards and the big packages have all been mailed. Tomorrow is the last day of school for the kids for two whole weeks and Glenn and I are winding down our work days for the rest of the year. We are all ready for a break.

At the beginning of the month, Vicky and I volunteered at Christmas House. This was our first year volunteering together and it was a lot of fun. We worked in the tea room in the morning and then served in the house in the afternoon.

That weekend, our Aunt Mary from Minnesota came out for a quick visit and we packed a lot of shopping, eating delicious food and hanging out. It was a great way to start the holiday season. On Saturday morning, we dropped the girls off at the church program practice and Will was at baseball practice so the girls and Everett went shopping downtown. We walked into our favorite local kitchen store, Everett took a look around and announced that he was all down shopping at this place. Oh buddy.

| I bought an indoor snowball fight kit on Black Friday and couldn't wait for 12/25 to open it up. Much hilarity has ensued but I think the cats are having the most fun. |
