Every year after Thanksmas signals the start of the busy Christmas season in our family. December is always such a busy month! This year was no different.
On the morning of December 1st, the kids woke up to find all of the Christmas decorations downstairs. Their elf, Jexan, had apparently arranged for the decorations to be delivered from the attic to help encourage us to get into the Christmas spirit. (It's no secret that I have a tough time feeling excited about this task, ha!)

| Our Christmas decorations "magically" appeared on December 1st. |
 |
| Jexan may or may not have had a hand in encouraging us to decorate for the holidays. |
 |
| They were nervous to get too close to Jexan for fear of touching him, ha! |
Another early December activity we had to take on this year was advanced planning for gift delivery. With Collin in North Dakota for Christmas this year, we had to make sure to get our shopping done for him very early. I had a big bundle of surprises for him and took extra care with his packages. I was quite proud of myself for managing to get the shopping AND shipping completed in the first week of the month in order for Collin to have his packages arrive before Christmas. There was a lot of preparation and love packed into these boxes!
Another early Christmas season activity was a fun get-together for Kaitlynn and her fellow cheerleaders from the fall team. It was a perfect celebration to close out the cheer season and kick off the month of holiday fun.

| Sweet hands and nails. |
 |
| Check out these beauties and their fresh manicures. |
 |
| Love how they are all wearing the pedicure flip-flops! |
 |
| Back at one of the girls' home, they all enjoyed s'mores by the fire. What a fun night! |
