So, I promised to blog and I have blog 2 times since my letter to the blog. Why is it that I have nothing to blog about, but I have everything to blog about. There are only 5 days until Christmas and I haven't yet really found the Christmas spirit. Where is it? I am unsure. Eric went and cut down the tree in Wendover with the boys. He wanted a real tree and kinda wanted to carry on his tradition that his family started. We went the first year that we were married and then never again. Here is the picture of the finished tree. Although the kids will NEVER keep all of the ornaments on and the star never was able to stay on the top of the tree... it is wonderful to have a real tree. It has a delicious smell and I am glad that Eric went and cut it down. Two things that I have learned this Christmas... 1. Get less Christmas items out, so I don't want them to be put away by now. 2. Make a rule that the tree isn't to be touched or this is what you will see.
Happy birthday to Eric on the 15th. There is something about a December birthday that is not fun. At least we had this delicious cake.. Happy Birthday to my best friend.
YUMMY!!
Here are the other 2 pictures on my camera. Yes.. there are ONLY 2 pictures on my camera. Oh, I have missed the whole month of December. How sad.
These pictures are of the boys eating lunch the other day. How boring.
So, I am almost ready for Christmas. I have a small list of things to do in the next few days. One of the things that needs to be done is that the Christmas spirit needs to be located before the expiration of 5 days... any suggestions?

We are on that same page. I have been feeling like i have just been going through the motions this year. If you find the spirit let me know. Maybe you could pass it along to me too!
Emilee, I am in the same boat. I don't feel like doing anything and there is just too much to do in December that it all just seems overwhelming and meaningless. I am trying my hardest to have a good outlook for my kids sake, but Being 37 weeks pregnant doesn't help. We are praying that this isn't going to be a Dec birthday, but not holding our breath.
Wow we are all having a tough year-It doesn't even seem like Christmas is in a couple of days-I would skip it this year if I could. Maybe some miracle will bring the spirit to all of our hearts!
You all have the spirit right in front of you! Just look at the sparkle in your children's eyes and you will recognize the joy that you felt as a child. You will also see what a miracle this season is - it doesn't matter what you do or how much you have - it is being together as a family and sharing your traditions. It is also remembering what the season is truly about and not worrying so much about the commercialized craziness. Take a deep breath and slow down - the season will find you!
