It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

So, here's what we've (I've) been up to this past week...
1. Decorating for Christmas. Now usually I decorate in one day. Even if I have to stay up until the wee hours of the morning, it gets done in one day. For some reason, this year I've been in the middle of decorating since Monday. And it's still not done. The trees are up, the stockings are hung, and the outside is really close to being finished (thanks to Mike). It's not that I'm not in the Christmas spirit. The radio in my car has been set to 98.5 since Thanksgiving Day, my TV has been on channel 801 (Holidays and Happenings) since Monday, we have 4 trees in our house, and we have 3 reindeer, 3 inflatables, and Snoopy's countdown to Christmas in our yard. Tomorrow is my deadline as it will have been an entire week. Collin was so excited about the star on the top of the tree this year, so we let him do the honors.

2. Chasing Katelyn. She's still busy pulling up on everything and with boxes of "not for children under 3" Christmas decorations laying around, she's required a little bit of extra attention. Unfortunately even with all of that extra attention, her forehead still managed to meet the tile floor in my bathroom the other day. Nothing like some love from big brother to make it feel all better.

3. Meeting the ENT. Katelyn had her appointment on Thursday. He looked at her history and then looked in her ears. He immediately started explaining the anatomy of the ear and how tubes would help her. We left his office with another prescription and his surgery scheduler's phone number. Her surgery could be as soon as this Tuesday. We'll find out for sure tomorrow. Hoping for this week because she's been pretty miserable this weekend. But still super sweet.4. Riding the Pink Pig. I'm a sucker for holiday traditions, so we headed down to Lenox with some of our closest friends to hop on the pink pig train. We waited in line for 15-20 minutes (HUGE improvement from last time) for our 3 minute ride. Collin was such a big boy sitting with his buddy Colt on the train. He loved it! Katelyn was not as amused. Maybe next year!Hope your holiday season is off to a great start!
