Getting ready for Christmas

Don and I have had a busy time at work lately but are just about ready to gear down for Christmas. We finally put our tree up last weekend. Calum, Dakota and Desiree decorated it. Calum thought that it was a two or three day job as he was still putting decorations on it yesterday and I think he'll want to continue today. You can tell we have a little guy helping because all of the unbreakables are at the bottom of the tree, resting on branches, just ready to fall off as you walk by. He loves it though.

We've started looking for some new furniture and Calum also enjoyed that. He had to try every sofa and chair he saw (many times) and was so keyed up that I had to carry him out of the store with him protesting the whole way. Next time, maybe we'll send him shopping with his sisters.

Dakota has her jazz band concert tonight and the kids will be out of school soon. Calum's daycare closes the same time so we will all be busy. We are looking forward to seeing Grant, Jen and Coy and Carole this Christmas. We are also looking forward to a visit to Merritt to visit Nanny, Papa and my family. Calum loves it out there and Nanny and Papa have a new puppy that he's going to love.

We have finished most of our Christmas shopping. I expect we'll be at the mall like everyone else on the weekend though. Wish us luck.

We've got some new pictures that I haven't had time to download but will post them soon.
