It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

We finally decorated for Christmas this week. I got the kids "warmed up" by playing Christmas music and bringing out the bells while we waited for Clay and Grannylou to arrive. Decorating wouldn't have been possible without Grannylou's help. She entertained the eldest 2 children making ornaments and garland for their rooms while Clay and I pulled everything down from the attic and got the tree up. It was great to have extra hands as Miss McK was a little fussy. It was a great, exhausting night.
