Oh no! Christmas is Coming!

Christmas only 8 days away and I'm far from ready. I still have gifts to buy. I least I don't have anything I have to ship. I think it will all work out though. Unfortunately I don't think I'll get to those Christmas cards. Hmm. We've got three Christmas trees up, but only one of them is decorated. It happens to be one that was at the Festival of Trees. No one had purchased it, so my mom did after the fact. We think she got a good deal on it.
Now if we can only get those other trees looking a little less plain.

Thanksgiving and such

We had a great Thanksgiving this year. My sister was here from Texas and my brother came up from St. George. Raymond's sister was also here from Colorado. It was great to see everyone. On the Wednesday before, we had our annual pie day with the Crane Clan. The kids all get to make there own mini pie. Samuel had pumpkin, Ammon had apple, and Gideon had chocolate cream. Thanksgiving was fabulous of course. I love all the foods associated with Thanksgiving!
This week has been a little unusual. Yesterday Raymond's company announced they would be closing their doors on Wednesday. So we are preparing for a new chapter in our lives. It's going to be an interesting ride.
