it's the christmas spirit, ya'll!

So, today was a beautiful day here. Ben was happy about that: he participated in the St. Jude's 5K this morning. I was really proud of him, particularly because he had to rise at the crack of dawn the one morning after he got back from a business trip for a manager's meeting in Cleveland. And, of course (Hubby Brag Warning) he didn't just race; he also stopped to help a girl who was having problems on the side of the road. She was having trouble breathing, and he stayed and helped until the cops got there to help. And he still finished in time to get one of the participation medals they only had a certain amount of.


We also got out and did a little bit o' decorating with Will's new giant inflatable Santa. We put up our HUGAMUNGO new Christmas tree, too, and WOW. It's really big. The topper looks miniscule, but anything more would have not fit! And we were filling our little 6 foot tree with our ornaments last year, and now, we have lots of room "to grow."

Finally, of course, I would be remiss to not mention the unique head attire we're all sporting in these shots. We also did MORE unpacking today (yes, we still have boxes. Lots of them) and we discovered these antlers. I mean, how festive, huh? (Please note Will is playing "reindeer" in front of, yes, his Giant Inflatable Santa.)
