Seven days left until Christmas. I haven't done one day of shopping. In eight weeks, my wife has done the following: decorated our home (normal living, Thanksgiving and now Christmas), hosted a family of four (friends from Ventura) for 5 days, her parents have been here twice, hosted 3 or 4 dinners, weekly grocery shopping trips, daily mommy activities with a very active Kaela, took one 5 day trip to San Diego, daily house chores (our house is always tidy), makes dinner 5 or more days a week, makes breakfast and lunch daily for two (sometimes 3), entertains a small dog daily, she is starting to do a bit of school with Kaela, bills (ew!), keeps us on budget, knitting projects, baked 5 or 6 dozed cookies for Christmas (don't ask about how they were all ruined!!), all the Christmas shopping, made a curtain for our room, spent an afternoon painting our living room and dining room, scrubbed the house down from top to bottom when we moved in (did i ever mention how disgusting the house was when we moved in?)a couple of mommy dates with friends from church, did everything for Kaela's Birthday, umm...oh yeah, did I mention she is pregnant????!
Cheers Jennifer! You are the best!

How the Hall's spent the day - Dec.1, 2007
We bought our Christmas tree today. It's now situated in the corner of our living room right next to the fire place. I will take a photo once our living room is clean...there is some serious decorating going on right now. Oh by the way...its been snowing since we got home from the tree farm. We have about 2 or 3 inches of snow on the ground and it has just begun to snow again. It is just amazing. It's December 1, we just bought a Christmas tree, we played in the snow (IN OUR FRONT YARD), I trimmed the base of the tree with an axe (because it just seemed right), we drank hot coffee/tea/hot chocolate, ate some elk jerky (I gave a chunk to the mailman...he was pleased), played in the snow some more, ate dinner and put the lights on the tree. Could it be any better than this??? Great way to start the Christmas Season. We were so blessed today!
Happy December 1!!!
Well, if you look at the picture...we have snow. What a perfect day to go get our christmas tree. Great way to start the Christmas season. It is sooo beautiful up here. I wish you all could be here with us. We will update later with more from our outing.
