Holiays are here!

We have been trying to make time to enjoy the busy holidays. We decorated the house last week and the girls found an old Santa suit, Tadd used for his family party years ago. They stuffed it with pillows (and anything else they could find) to make them as jolly as possible. It's amazing how long you can play with a Santa suit, they tried it on everyone else and finally retired it after 2 hours.

It was Kenya's date with Mom day on Tuesday and she wanted to take her friend Tori (who she aspires to be when she grows up.) We went to the local museum where they host "The festival of trees" They have 12-15 trees, all decorated with different themes. We got hot chocolate and toured the trees, then Kenya wanted to go next door to the furniture store and look at the large tree they had decorated in their window. Of course when we got there, we had to try out all of the recliners and beds, as well as pick our our favorite dining sets and bedroom sets. It was so much fun, we left exhaused and hair standing on end, from all the static electicity we made going from one cushy surface to the next. I hope I always remember to take time for the fun stuff, especially when it's busy.
