Christmas is comiing!

I pride myself in being a little bit ahead of the Christmas rush of buying and wrapping presents.  With a family as big as ours I do have to start thinking early, buying early and wrapping early.  Because Mallory was leaving on her mission before Thanksgiving and Christmas I wanted to have the house decorated just for her to celebrate both holidays before she left.  I did have all these presents wrapped but decided that it was a little too much to already have presents under the tree, so held off hauling them all downstairs to the tree.  All of these presents are stacked in the spare bedroom and will be arranged under the tree the day after Thanksgiving.  Which is when the tree usually gets decorated.
