It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas!

With our company departed we have begun to bring out the Christmas decorations and all that goes with that.  Neal cleaned out gutters while stringing up the outdoor Christmas lights yesterday.  There were several tomato plants growing quite healthily in our gutters!  Now we know where the seeds ended up after the birds gutted so many of our tomatoes.

We were able to deliver our nativities to our church for our community's annual Nativity Exhibit this weekend, finished and sent out the Christmas cards, started decorating the inside of the house, wrapped a few gifts and packaged them up. Whew! 

This is a busy time of year but so much fun and we always make sure to stop numerous times to focus on what we are truly celebrating, the gift of our Savior.  It helps us not kill each other.
