Ah, so here we are. It's been a bit chilly. Our Christmas decor is up and it didn't take very long. I've been feeling a bit festive and cheerful lately. This year, we started a new tradition. Each night leading up to Christmas, we'll unwrap a book to read together by the tree. - All books are either Christmas or winter themes. - It's amazing what you can find on the web. I came across this idea some time back and figured we would give it a try. More time reading to our girls is definitely a plus! We're still attending events and have our normal routine going. We recently attended an event called, Cookies and Carols. It took place at one of the libraries here in town. We decorated cookies, sipped on hot cider, and then went around caroling. - It was so much fun! This month is packed with fun, festive events. We'll be attending a candlelit hike at one of our local nature centers. Our oldest is extremely excited abou
