'tis the season

Well...it must be the holiday season because I have officially begun my Christmas shopping!!  Yep...I've purchased one gift at this point and I'm beginning to think about what I want to do from here.  I think I'll begin that list that helps me to organize my thoughts so I don't end up buying too much for one and not as much for another.  Apple has an app for that and I love that I can make my list and cross things off with each step...purchased, wrapped, mailed and etc...it's awesome!  I'm still waiting for individual lists from kids but I'm excited that the holiday season is here!  It's a happy time!  The next thing we need to do is dig out all the holiday decorations to really get in that holiday spirit.  Mallory has already begun playing Christmas music!

Ian wrote today and there weren't any changes in transfers today.  The next transfer is right before Christmas.  Oh my goodness!  That's when we get to talk with Ian!!!  Can't wait!

Holiday happiness to all!!!

I love Christmas!! I just made my Christmas wish list yesterday... definitely the season. But it just feels weird because Thanksgiving hasn't come yet!! Isn't that supposed to be in the fall? I guess not in Alaska!!

Hi Sierra!!! The girls here have made their lists and I have been shopping! Mostly online shopping since we don't have as much as you have down there in Anchorage. When I think of being in the holiday or Christmas spirit of things I don't think it's too soon...even before Thanksgiving. Christmas is a time of giving and giving thanks and it's just nice to make it last as long as we can even if it means getting into that mode before Thanksgiving! I can't wait to see all of you! It seems when I'm down there for swimming my time is busy at the pool! By spring we should be able to plan a "fun" trip!! And, perhaps we can spend some time with all of you!!
