Like I'm sure it is for each of you, this year is very busy at our house. We did enjoy a somewhat lazy Saturday last weekend. We decorated our house and tree but did so in our pajamas. I don't think any of us put on clothes until at least 4pm. After that we headed to see Santa and grab a bite to eat.
Sunday we went to my company Christmas party. It was fun. I always enjoy meeting the spouses and children of all my coworkers. Some I'd met before, but many I hadn't. There are LOTS of babies in our group. I think we counted and in the last 5 years there have been something like 15 babies born among the 30 employees in the IT Network groups. I guess we were destined to be next. There have already been at least 3 born this year and I know of at least one other besides myself that is due in 2009.
This weekend is going to be busy but should be a lot of fun. The boys are heading to PawPaw and Nanny's to help setup their Christmas tree and spend the night. I think Nanny is nuts asking for all 7 of her grandkids on one night! I hope to get a lot of my shopping done tonight after I drop them off.
Tomorrow we are going to Chattanooga with the Fosters to ride the Polar Express train. It should be a lot of fun. Everyone wears their pajamas and the kids are fed cookies and milk while a story teller reads The Polar Express on our train ride to the North Pole. Once we reach the North Pole, Santa boards the train and rides back to the station with us, greeting all the kids and listening to what they want this year.
Sunday after church we are heading back over to Nanny's to do our Christmas baking.
See what I mean, busy, but all fun stuff. I'm looking forward to it all. I'm just not sure how the laundry will get done or the house cleaned in between all the fun stuff. I'm sure we'll manage.
No word yet on Riley's baptism. We will meet with our pastor one day next week and pick a date then.
I pray each of you are enjoying an equally fun Christmas season. I have to remind myself to pause and remember the true meaning for this celebration, Jesus!

Dear Heidi,
I am a photo researcher working on a book for the Smithsonian on Solids and Liquids for grades K-2. On of the specs I need to fill is a birthday party table with cake, ice cream, plates etc. I saw such a picture on your blog for a 4 year old birthday party. Would it be possible to use the photograph is the book? I would like to send you a formal email request, so please respond if you read this blog to me at terri@terriwright.com. You can check out my website to see the type of work I do. I am a freelace contractor for the Smithsonian for the job I am requesting the photo.
Thank you in advance for your time and reply.
