48/52

Yesterday, after 6 hours of Black Friday shopping, I came home to Big T putting the Christmas lights up outside (and the boys cleaning out the gutters, but that is another post all together!). Today we put the tree and indoor decorations up (after watching OU's victory!!). I can't believe that it is already Christmas time again...the fact that it was 71* today doesn't help get you in the mood but the lines and crowds everywhere are a good reminder. The kids love helping to decorate the tree and seeing all the fun ornaments that we only see for a few weeks a year. Tricky T got to put the star on top of the tree this year and then everyone helped decorate it while Christmas CDs played in the background.


And I had to add this one. We met someone on Thanksgiving, that after about 30 minutes of knowing us, pointed to T and said, "That one looks ornery." This picture made me think of that statement.


I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas season and takes time out to remember the gift God sent in Jesus.... that is, after all, the true reason we celebrate this season.
