Getting Ready For Christmas


There was sooooo much going on this year as we got ready for the holidays... I am still trying to get "caught up" on my sleep. However, somehow during the months of November and December I managed to take almost 2000 photos! I am serious!





Since it was Sara's first holiday decorating the tree and making cookies... and since Mom and Dad moved to Arizona and we had so many different Christmas celebrations... and things were so disorganized and out-of-order... here are just a few photos of the tree decorating and the cookie baking (that were obviously not on the same day.)






Sara completely enjoyed the entire holiday experience. Sadly for Sara... her very first time seeing Santa Claus occurred when she and I made a quick shopping trip to TSC in Georgetown. For those of you that are "city folk" out there - that is the local TRACTOR SUPPLY COMPANY. Yes, that's right... you wait for 2 years to come home to your forever family, you are 9 years old, this is your very first "real" Christmas season... and you get your very first glimpse of ol' Santa right there in the local Tractor Supply. And no... she didn't get to sit on his lap and tell him what she wanted. It was "bring your pet to TSC" day! When we saw him he had a small terrier mix sitting in his lap!






So there you have it! A story to always remember and tell her own children some day! :)




At the end of the day... the kids really enjoyed kicking back to watch "Polar Express."
