Christmas is coming

Here's Bryce eating a popsicle after the hard work of putting our tree and train up last night.

I am so ready for Christmas this year, it is scary. I have all the presents bought--just not wrapped yet, but I have started on that too! Jason has a few presents to buy yet as well, but even he ahead of his own "last minute buying" schedule this year.
Last night we went and bought our tree and Bryce was so excited. Once it was decorated, Jason and Bryce put the train under the tree. Jason has been promising Bryce this all year long. Bryce's grandpa Cooper brought a brand new train down his last visit, and it fits perfectly under the tree. It even has a chugging sound and train whistle that blows as it rounds the track.
On our way to get the tree last night, we dropped off all 75+ of our Christmas cards at the Post Office for delivery--watch those mail boxes!! ***I told you I was doing great this year***
The only thing to do now, is try to keep the anticipation of a 3 year old under control for the next 3 or so weeks!!

Now I am NOT an artist, but here is a picture of the small farm we set up under the tree. It reminds us of Strasburg and the small farms that surround those train tracks. The blue circle is our chalked-on duck pond.
