Well, it has struck me earlier than usual this year. A few weeks ago, I came down with visionsofsugarplumsitis...a dangerous virus also known as "let's put up the Christmas tree and lights honey." I have been combing through my Southern Living Christmas books and am ready to deck the halls (and everything in between...he he he). Maybe it is because we have had a fairly lousy Christmas the last 2 years or maybe it is just because I am me and love Christmas! I have already been making Ben watch Christmas movies...even before Halloween I confess! Most of my Christmas shopping is done and I plan to start wrapping it this week. I am organizing my recipes and have sorted my Christmas totes and boxes....I discovered that I have 16 storage containers of Christmas stuff. Maybe my logical thinking is that if I put up my Christmas stuff, I can fit my car in the garage!?! Ah, y'all know me better then that! I just love the holidays. The only thing missing this year is so many of you who read this! I know it is oversaid and overdone, but you really are in my thoughts and prayers all the time!
Hmmm...makes me think again...what are y'all (I just LOVE South Carolina!) doing to make your Christmas magical this year? Savannah is so cute...she told me I have to make a special "Happy Birthday" cake for Jesus this year. Her request!?! Cinderella's castle of course... She has the sweetest prayers. We had some of our non-Christian family over for dinner the other night and she prayed before dinner and said "thank you Jesus that you love Uncle Tom and Aunt Julie (everybody around the table and the cat...)....and please help me to be a good girl and be nice to Caroline. I just love a 2 year old's prayers!
We celebrated Caroline's 1st birthday yesterday. I will post pictures later. She is so funny. She did NOT want anything to do with her cake. She only wanted her mixed veggies! Eeeww mommy chocolate cake!?! I only like carrots and peas!
So, since this is really rambling, I need to go. I wish I could see, hold, and borrow (maybe it will rid me of the I want another baby feeling) all of your new babies!!

I'm with you! I'm ready for some celebrating too. The weather here was beautiful for putting up the lights on Tuesday, unfortunatley I was in no condition to do it myself and couldn't get someone else to do it for me. Still no decision for us as to moving to your neck of the woods. Hope all else is well!
