Christmas is coming

Sometimes Florida is depressing. Yes, you read that right; Florida can be depressing. All that sunshine and sparkle gets old after awhile, and I just want some good old fall colors or a snow storm! So because I have no control over the weather outside, the Gatchel crew today started bringing Florida into our house!

We put up our tree today and hung up the rest of the decorations inside. I've got to say, it helped a little. I think the thought that we'll be back in the mid-west in a few weeks is helping, too ;-)

So I have lots and lots of pictures to share today. Noah enjoyed helping with the tree and his Mommy definitely enjoyed taking pictures of him. Can't believe that tomorrow is the firs tday of December already! Enjoy the pictures, all!

Noah was being most helpful

He was so proud he helped!
