Christmas 2009

Christmas isn't quite here, its only Dec. 8th. i get in the Christmas Spirit a little bit before Halloween. The weather gets chilly (never COLD, it's AZ after all, it got cold EVERY Halloween in CO) and I have to go find the Christmas CD's and start playing Christmas music, much to my husband's dismay!

we went to OK for Thanksgiving and got back the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Gary needed to leave for a business meeting the next day. Our only choice was to set up the Christmas tree the day we arrived home. One of Greg's friends' happened to stop by, so we put him to work decorating the tree. Caitlyn reminded me that one Christmas tradition we had was to always listen to Chrismas music while decorating!!

As I stoped to admire the tree I noticed something. We had Halloween decorations out on the kitchen table that needed to be put away, and we had just arrived home, so there were also Thanksgiving decorations out as well. Did the Ballard's really know what holiday it was?? The story of my life.....

It's December 8th and thankfully we are know it's Christmas time and the home is cozy, a 1/2 inch of snow is on the ground, and we are anxious to Celebrate our Saviour's birth!!
