Christmas in the Sunshine State

Now that the feast and football of Thanksgiving are over it's time to start thinking about Christmas. Chris and I put out our Christmas decorations today. This is the first year we've ever had a fireplace to hang stockings on! We put in some Christmas music and put up the tree and ornaments and stockings and creche and garland and...and... (it just goes on and on).


We have a new helper for Christmas this year. Her name is Cici and she is a three months old. I managed to capture a brief (and I do mean brief) moment of stillness to capture a picture. She is a little ball of pure energy - in fact I think she's nuclear powered. Sophie isn't so sure about the idea of having a little sister, but we're hoping they will get used to each other eventually.


Other than that, not much new here. I'm having a tough time remembering that it will be December on Monday and I can't believe that we've already had Thanksgiving.

Hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving and a wonderful Advent. We're keeping Uncle Bob in our thoughts and prayers as he recovers from his recent surgery and we wish him the best of luck as he struggles to quit smoking.
