It's beginning to feel like Christmas!

Oh yes it isssssssssssss!
My absolute favorite time of the year!

I have that Christmas feeling already in my tummy ;-)
I think especially since we are going home for a visit.
It's going to be nice and crisp and hopefully some fall leaves left on trees!

As I sit here, I hear Caden saying his prayers and thanking God for specific family and friends. He is looking through his Bible, he doesn't know I know this(because if he did he would hide his face and blush), and he just sounds so sweet! Teagan is bouncing in her bouncy and Riordan is finishing up Caden's breakfast ;-)

Starting to think about all I need for the trip. Mom is getting us a booster/highchair for Teagan and Jen is getting us our air purifier/white noise for our hotel. Can't do well without either!
Thankfully our hotel is near a Kroger, so we can get necessities there once we get in. I'm going to try and pack as light as possible. Quit laughing Mike! :-)

We have heard from just a couple of our friends if they are meeting up with us at the hotel Friday evening. Yes this is a jab directly at you if you haven't responded to the email we sent out weeks ago! We hope you can make it!!

I have my small list of things I must see/get/eat. Ru San's King and I Maki to start, A Georgia Grille Smoked Chicken enchilada, that awesome all over SPF Lotion at Natural Body (no one sells an allover SPF lotion out here! How weird too!), go to the Georgia Aquarium and see our fish scales we purchased for the boys early last year, stop by Mike and I's old hang out, Garrison's, to say hi to whoever is left working there, and to stop by our old 'hood's at the Condo and
Bentwater to see how things have progressed and who's still around. But most of all we will be spending time with the family!!

We are going to have so much fun!!

Now my big decision is to buy a 'live' tree and finally purchase a fake one. I like to put our tree up the day after Thanksgiving, so when I did this last year it was dead, soooooooo dead, two weeks before Christmas! I have to say the idea of not having to vacuum up needles is quite appealing, but where the heck am I going to store it? Maybe no one will notice if I leave it up all year long....
