Yes, another post. I just put Sophie in her crib for the night. She is already asleep; no crying. Right before that, I was helping Caleb make up the earliest draft of his Christmas wishlist. Actually, he wrote it down himself last night. Tonight, he asked me to type it up for him. As of right now, it consists solely of Mega Bloks Halo Wars building sets.
Is it too early to make a Christmas list? Not if you're a kid. I don't remember how the narrator said it in "A Christmas Story" but, he summed it up perfectly for me. For me, Christmas is still the pinnacle of the whole year. Sure, there's summer and birthdays and stuff like that but, come on. Christmas is the day. I think it's awesome that Molly and Caleb love Christmas as much as Joy and I do. I know that right now, their love of the holiday is mostly driven by "stuff" as it used to be for me. Now, I just enjoy watching their eyes light up when Christmas is just around the corner.
Soon, we'll be putting up our advent construction paper rings that we enjoyed cutting down last year. In honor of that, I went over to the Wolfram|Alpha website and plugged in December 25th, 2009. According to that site, there are 88 days until Christmas. Seems like a lot, but it's really not. Here's a link to the Wolfram|Alpha site that has the info.
Merry Christmas (too) early!

This kind of weather just makes it more exciting to look forward to Christmas! I can't wait. I feel like I haven't seen you guys in like forever! I think I'm having withdraws or is it withdrawals? lol I think I'll try and stop by tomorrow after my class tomorrow afternoon before I go to dinner with Granddad. Don't think I'll go to church, though...have a test on Thursday...
