I might not have my tree up but I got some presents wrapped!
We did a little decorating - putting the lights on the tree my Aunt Frances made

Friday
All bundled up - it is finally cold here!
I volunteered in Ella's class and helped each child make a Christmas ornament - then I had lunch with Ella and her friend Madyson.
Lunch with Caleb and his crew - Grayson, Emma and Kenny
Grayson came home from school with us and the boys jumped on the trampoline and played basketball
Ella played school and babies - she is such a little mommy!
