Christmas decorations
We are back home now and everything has returned to normal. We ended up driving home a few days early because all the excitement was just too much for the girls (and the behavior and discipline issues were making it difficult for us to enjoy the visits very much).
So we came back and have been laying low for a few days. Sunday was challenging, but yesterday everything seemed back to the way things had been before we left. So we decided to get busy on the Christmas decorations. I hung the lights outside and got really sweaty on the roof - I should have worn shorts, it was so warm! :)
Then the girls helped us put up the tree and the decorations, and they invited one of their friends from across the street over to help make gingerbread cookies. We've been playing Christmas music, and the house is so colorful. I love this time of year!

Looks like loads of fun! I think that was probably a great transition coing home from one holiday celebration, to getting ready your own home for the next.
I am proud of you for coming home early, even though I am sure that in some ways that was difficult to do. You and Jenetta are really growing and modeling some real strength and grace of character to your daughters - so awesome, God is so faithful.
Bet those gingerbread men were de-lish, too!
