Our first Christmas

Its Christmas!! I love this time of year! We have 3 of the 6 radio stations in the car set to holiday stations (they have been set that way since before Thanksgiving), several classic Christmas movies on our Netflix list, the Christmas tree is up and lite, stockings hung (the fireplace is a work in progress-just making more room for santa) and the sugar cookies are baked waiting for loads of frosting! Sterling and I have come up with our first Christmas tradition- gingerbread houses! For one of our date/family nights we will be making gingerbread houses which we will keep as a tradition in our home for years to come! Its exciting to think we will have Lucy to join in all the fun and joy of Christmas! I have told Sterling that once all the after Christmas sales start I am going to start my 2010 Christmas shopping for Lucy!
I am so excited that we will be able to spend Christmas with my family this year and then be able to see all of Sterlings family the following week! What a blessing it is to have family!
