Our last day off has been jam packed with activities. From 5 loads of laundry, to grocery shopping, Christmas decorating, cooking, hiking in the woods and taking some 1st birthday pictures of Charlie. Oh, and lunch at my mom and dad's today. Whew. We've made as much of our last day off as we possibly could.
Yesterday evening, we went and picked up our Christmas tree. Every year we go back to the same family at the Farmer's Market that comes down from Madison Co. There's a Christmas tree farm in a nearby town and I thought about going there, but they sold out of all of their trees by Thanksgiving. Soooo... I'll just stick with what we know. One of the men who works there even remembered us and said "Wow, he's grown!" in reference to Luke.
We came home yesterday evening with the tree and ate some leftovers from Dillon's dad's house and then got the baby to bed and Luke, Dillon and I decorated the tree. Luke is so excited, he danced around singing Christmas music all evening and loved looking at the ornaments and the tree. His excitement spreads and where Dillon and I used to not get too into Christmas, now we're all about it. Next weekend, we get to go meet Santa Claus himself! Luke has his letter ready to take to him and he has signed his own name to it!
This week is busy, and we're back at it tomorrow. Dillon works his 16 hour day tomorrow. He's only got 2 more classes to teach and we're pretty happy about it. Ha! Dillon has really enjoyed teaching the class, but it is difficult for him to work those long days, to plan for the class and for him to be gone in the evenings. If he were to do it again, I'd be ok with it, but we'll take it either way! :)
We'll hang on until we get another long weekend for Christmas. We're all counting the days!
