Let the Christmas feasting begin!
It's December 1st and I've already got two kinds of Christmas baking made! There's a long way to go still to complete my list, but I think I'm ahead of where I am most years.
The kids love to 'help' (the quotation marks referring to Abby's intended assistance) me bake, and I usually let them in the hopes that someday they will be able to do the baking for me! ;)
In other Christmas-readiness news...we have all the kids' presents bought, and a few for other people, although we're not done. Christmas letter? Not so much. I'm not sure how December crept up on me without having started my annual epistle. I think this whole working thing is cutting into my time! ;)
My family is coming up here for Christmas this year and we are very excited! This will be the first year that we've done Christmas here, and I'm sure everyone will appreciate not having the five-hour drive on Christmas morning. Actually, this will be the first Christmas of all my 29 previous Christmases that I haven't been at home in Edmonton...I think. Mom? True? Not that I remember, anyway!

Yup, I think that is true. The first few really stick in my memory but the one in between not so much. We are excited about coming to Beaverlodge for Christmas - for us it's like living out a christmas carol - like White Christmas, or Holiday Inn - just hope the weather is good. Now we have to figure out what to do with the cat!
Actually, I remember now that we went to Kitchener when you were one and a half and then on to the Bahamas. Everybody got the flu and we had Christmas on the 27th. But you wouldn't remember that.
How exciting that you get to be home for Christmas. THere is something about waking up in your own home and enjoying your family without having to rush here or there. I hope you have a wonderful time.
Did you figure out your plans for the wedding? We are around that whole week, so if you want to come earlier, let us know. ARe you taking the kids to the wedding? If you want to leave Gavin and Abby with us, we would be open to that too, I am sure the girls would love it.
talk soon
