We are leaving for Chicago on Wednesday and I am stoked! Nothing puts me more in the holiday spirit than my parents' house at Christmas. I love it! My parents have started a tradition, since Leah and Erik have joined us. They take all 6 of us to a show in downtown Chicago each year for Christmas. We have seen Wicked, A Christmas Carol, Cirque de Soleil, and went to Second City. We all love it! The whole atmosphere is amazing! The beautifully lit city with snow all around, getting dressed up and going to a festive dinner and then a fun show! Amazing. We are so fortunate for this fun tradition, I can not wait to see where we will go this year! :)
I am ready to get on the plane!! Can you believe that this will be Lucas' SECOND plane ride?! I hope he does as well as he did on his first...

Odds and Ends
Looking for a gift??
I am now a consultant for Tastefully Simple and am more than happy to get you what you need! Our products come in beautiful gift packs that can be shipped directly to the person and in easy to prepare for guests and parties manner.
All stocked up on food and looking for something else?
My wonderful friend, Cindy Boyd, owns the store Canaci that sells beautiful jewelry, handbags, scarves, luggage, and small artwork. She can order more of anything you see and would like more of. To contact her: cindy.boyd@gmail.com. She also has a Facebook page, Canaci that you can place orders from. However, to be honest, nothing beats visiting her fantastic home and see her items first hand! Her address is 3055 Gem Creek Road in Buford.
I was there this weekend for three nights and found amazing gifts for my family.

The Days Are Long and the Weeks Are Fast
I swear I just turned around, perhaps blinked and now our turkey and dressing is all gone and our Christmas tree is up! WOW. I am truly amazed at how fast the time is going lately, especially since I feel like the days are long. Not long in a bad way, at all... long as in "whoa, look how much time we have been playing and the sun is just coming up" kind of long. A huge benefit to the fact that I am awake for a lot longer than I used to be! Good thing, too, because A LOT is going on here.One of the most memorable things is that Lucas went to see Santa Claus on Saturday. He was awesome. It was so much fun, and I am lucky enough to say that Kim and Erik were there with me to see how special Lucas is. We got our delicious smelling tree after that... How magical is the smell of a real tree?? I LOVE it and now it feels like Christmastime in our house because of that smell. I hope I dont blink and the season is over.... it is one of my most favorite times of year!! I can not wait to spend this one with our family and friends!
