it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

8 DAYS!!!!

I can’t believe it, but we are actually DONE shopping! All I have left to do is finish planning meals and go grocery shopping. It’s a good thing because Jared and I both have a full week this week.

Today we went to visit the reindeer!IMG_8697

It was pretty chilly, and once Maya had her turn to pet him, she was ready to go eat her “Chick da day” (chik-fila).IMG_8705

We went to Nay-Nay’s to help her wrap presentsIMG_8735

Oh my, they look so big here…IMG_8734

And I haven’t done a Christmas tour this year, so I thought I would.
