Excited for Christmas

Camden, Lila and I started our holiday vacation in a blizzard. A normal 3 hour drive from Grand Junction to Leadville turned into close to 8 hours. We all talked, sang, cried, and threw chicken nuggets around the trusty Subaru. I think Lila fed Kenosha french fries for close to an hour. Day two of our break was designated to getting our tree. Camden picked out a perfect 9 foot pine. I wish you all could have witnessed me getting it strapped to the roof of the car, through the coffee shop lobby, up a flight of stairs and safely fastened into the stand. It is beautiful. We have hung ornaments and lights. We even decorated Henry (Nick's elk mount) with chilly lights. The stockings are out. Cookies for Santa are made. Carrots for the reindeer are bought. We are down to "Santa come now?" about 3 times an hour. I forgot how fun all this can be! Now we wait...
