Decorating for Christmas

It's that time of year again! We brought our Christmas decorations up from the basement last week. We purchased a new Christmas tree! Our old one looked horrible and was really hard to put together. Our new tree looks beautiful! Alaina enjoyed helping us decorate the tree. She likes to name the different objects hanging on the tree. When we plug in the tree lights she says "so pretty!" I only have one more full week left of school before winter break. I am looking forward to two weeks off work. We are celebrating an early Christmas here in Rockford on December 19th. Then we will drive to Iowa to spend Christmas with Nate's family. We're keeping our figers crossed that the weather is decent for traveling. There is a huge snow storm going through the midwest right now. We spent the whole day at home watching the snow. With any luck, school will be cancelled tomorrow.
