So, we are starting a new tradition in our family this Christmas ... from the day after Thanksgiving until Christmas day we are going to do something Christmas every day. We could have counted putting up the Christmas trees for yesterday ... Dean told me he put up 3 ... huh? Only 2. But, then he reminded me he had to put the big one up twice when he left off the bottom 2 sections ... which explained why it was only 5 1/2 feet tall instead of 9! And, did you know that if you don't have pre-lit trees plugged into the correct plug entire sections will not turn on and cause you to panic? True story. Someday, someone will invent a pre-lit fake tree that is not scratchy. They will make a mint. We will buy the first one.
Anyways, I digress. Last night we started our new tradition with a Christmas concert. We went to see Casting Crowns ... along with Avalon, Michael English (he sang "Mary Did You Know?" and it made me think of Jen's wedding and mom playing that song over and over and over again because she had to learn the words. I whispered to Laurie "Does she have a solo at the wedding?" She did not ... she just had to learn the words. Not sure she did, but by the 25th playing of the song, Laurie and I had and it drove Jen to the circle to walk around and around and around ... but, that is for another blog!), Natalie Grant, Pure NRG and some orchestra. A good time was had by all ... especially after we got the Christmas nachos. And, so began the first night of our new tradition.
And, as I write this, Dean and Torrey are picking up the puppy from the airport ... I will blog again with pictures of the new baby and of todays Christmas fun. Until then ...
