Here comes December

We drove all 13 hours yesterday, from Georgia to Michigan, under an overcast sky. Perfect driving weather, really. No squinting in the sun, no snow, no major rain, just 800 miles of grey skies.

And now we’re decorating the house for Christmas. I must say I’ve never decorated for Christmas with snow falling outside. It does make it very Currier and Ives.

The kids are in charge of the Christmas tree. Rebecca’s putting on all the homemade ornaments, and Amy’s getting out all the dollhouses Grandma’s given her over the years. One entire side is cars. Guess who’s doing that?

I love this time of year.
