Can it be?

Can it be that I am actually posting twice in less than a month! HAHA!
I wish I had more to write about today, but things are just as crazy as ever. Both boys stayed home from school/daycare/preschool due to fevers, runny/stuffy noses and coughs. They seem much better today, however they decided to share this with Mommy. I don't have the fever, but I feel like someone is sitting on my chest! I've been drinking DayQuil today like I normally drink sweet tea! Funny and sad.

Marcus and I haven't started Christmas shopping yet this year. Looks like maybe we'll go this weekend. To be honest, I'm just not in the mood. Things are tight ... very tight and I just feel like some of this hustle and bustle just isn't worth it. We have really been enjoying spending time with family and friends and I'd be perfectly happy just doing that the entire season. However I have two little boys that would not be thrilled about that. Good thing is that we are diligent in talking about what the real reason for the season is. They both seem to grasp that it's Jesus's birthday and that is why we are celebrating. I am not against them believing in Santa, but Santa never brings them the biggest gift. And they do not seem to care too much about it. They love leaving out the cookies and carrots (so does Daddy), and I am ok with all of that.

We did go around our little city the other night looking at Christmas lights. There was one neighborhood that I am 99% sure they have a contest with one another! It was a total different world! There were Santa's on the roof, elves galore, dancing candy canes, lights set to music ... it was awesome! I think we were having as much fun as the boys were!

Take a second to check out the photos on my slideshow. Baby Grace Photography did these for us in October. They have a magic camera ... I'm telling you! I just love all of the pics - even the ones of Gavin crying! Isn't that awful?
