The children were nestled all snug in their beds...

Total cuteness...a sweet picture of Graham and Karsen at Graham's birthday sleepover.

We are recovering from our busy Thanksgiving weekend with a busy week at school (so far). Austin has had a spelling test and science test. I helped Karsen's class decorate their room with handmade crafts today for Christmas. Whew! Were we busy! We painted candy canes, made invitations for their open house, made sequined Christmas trees, and glittered up some construction paper angels. Both kids are busy practicing for their Christmas program Monday night. Austin knows the songs well, but Karsen (?) not so much. Or at all. But she has wanted to sing the Johnny Appleseed song (Oh the Lord's been good to me...) over and over.

Hopefully Friday will be the Christmas tree decorating day here at our house. Austin and Karsen are very ready!!
