It's Beginning to Feel a lot Like . . .

So . . . the tree is up, but not decorated.  The lights are lit, but only inside.  The presents are wrapped, but only some of them.  And still, it truly is beginning to feel more and more like Christmas.

We truly love giving our weekends to our friends' farm.  In fact, we hope to give our whole week to our own farm, once the right property becomes available, but for now we are content to do what agriculture we can in our urban farm and to help with the alpacas whenever possible.

That being said, giving our weekends to the animals has certainly cut into our home time, hence all the half-completed items listed here.  Yet, it is still Christmas regardless of whether we get the tree fully trimmed in time.  To see our kids are beginning to get excited and we can't wait to wake up early this Saturday and give gifts (and eat WAY more calories than are usually advisable).

It's coming, and ready or not, we're happy.
