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!
