Guess What Time It Is??!!??

It's December!!!!!
It's the most wonderful time of the year...and the busiest for us.

The month of December is the month we decorate our home for the Holidays. First we put up our tree and all our favorite ornaments and keepsakes. Then the stockings get hung by the chimney with care.

It's the month we do lots of shopping and we try hard to find that that one special gift for the ones we love the most.
We enjoy watching all our favorite holiday movies.
It's the month that we listen to Christmas music everyday...
We love Christmas music!!!!!!!
We always build a gingerbread house or two:)
This is one of Jacob's favorite things in December.
Along with homemade cookies & milk
and don't forget the egg nog for Mom:)

And yes we take too many pictures... if there really is such a thing.

On the calendar for this month...
We have Four birthdays!
My oldest turns another year older.
Wow! Where has the time gone?
Happy birthday sweet Anna.
It's also "Happy Birthday" to my Nanny & my dad too.
But the greatest birthday of all is the end of this month...
and it's that birthday that makes this month so very special.

We have one dentist appointment for Jacob and an orthodontist apt for Jon.

And Anna has an OB checkup to be sure lil Brookelyn is still doing good.
Can you believe she is already 31 weeks along????

We also received our yearly DFCS re-certification check list...two months early...grrr

So as you can imagine we've got tons to do before the end of the year. Normally we handle this in Feb,but the state is behind and that is why it has to be done this month...grrrr

Among the other things we have to do....

DFCS wants us to all have complete health screenings on the whole family this month.
We have to go and take a 4 hour class. Then take 5 more hours of classes online and

some how squeeze in another class somewhere this month....grrrr

as you can tell I'm not thrilled with DFCS deciding to pop this on us,not right here during the

busiest month of the year, but it will get done.

But we are looking forward to...

Our annual trip to have breakfast & pictures with

Santa and the foster family Christmas party.

We will be joining our friends for a trip

to Pettit creek Farms .
Along with three Christmas parties with family & friends.

And we are excited about this years Christmas play at our church.

My son will be playing the part of a shepherd.

Yes, we have tons to do and we are already counting down...

to Christmas!!!!

It's so exciting!

We are all excited about Santa's visit.

But the greatest thing about December is that it is

Jesus birthday!

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Thank you so much for all you've done for us.

You are the greatest gift of all!!!

Yes, you are the reason for this very special season!
