Ready for Christmas

We finally decorated for Christmas.  I don't decorate for any other holiday, but I love Christmas lights and reminders of Christ's birth.  We really only put lights on the front of the house and put up whatever we have in the living room, but it makes me very happy.  Especially when I don't have to do it by myself.  Ada was a great helper.  I think she had just as much fun decorating as I used to.  Seth told me for days that it was time to put lights on the tree.  Evelyn asked to put stockings up because she made me a present that she wanted to hide in my stocking.  Sam was very ready to pull out the Christmas books.  We always have a goal to read a Christmas story ever day before Christmas.... We've never actually accomplished it, but Jer and the kids sure do their best.  I love seeing them all huddled on the couch reading together.  That's one of my favorite family traditions.
