The Christmas spirit has started here! Starting with Rich maybe getting the lights finally done outside! This has turned into a 2 week job for him and trust me, we don't decorate like the Griswold's. It's looking awfully cute out there though, I have added a couple things this year as I try to do every year. I figure the festivities will start inside on Sunday. That's my plan of attack on the house. I've got more stuff than I do house, so it takes some organizing to figure it all out. I thinking the tree is just going to become a simple play toy for Logan. I really can't see him not pulling it over on himself or even letting it alone. I guess if I was him, I would be curious too. That should get interesting.

Olivia is upset that for the first time in my life, we are going with a artificial tree. I don't think it's the actual fact that it's fake, it's the fact that we are not going out into the woods to look for one. She whine's and complains every year about it anyway, so it's just something to complain to mom about! Oh, to be 6 again!! I wanted to go artificial for many reasons. Rich every year is working weekends and over time and it's hard to get out to look for a tree during the day. We end up waiting until the last minute, and it's up and then down already. The last couple of years the trees we've had have, the needles have been so hard that it's tough to hang the lights and such without getting jug to death! And last but not least, every tree has a crooked trunk and it gets rigged up every year to sit straight. This year is a test and see how it goes. Who knows what next year will bring!

We are gearing up for Logan's second surgery on Friday. If you need more explanation look at April's post! Once again for the Hypospadis. My parents are coming out on Thurs. to be here with Olivia Friday morning. Logan's surgery is at 7:30am so we have to be there for 5:30..............Once again I ask, WHO THE HECK MADE THIS APPT. TIME??? Ok, it was me, but for good reasons being he can't eat or drink before the surgery. I can't wait until it's over and to be honest, I can't wait for 2 weeks to fly by. He will have a catheter for about 5-6 days and then after that's out I can deal better with everything. Hopefully they will send him home this time, instead of keeping him. If all that fails, they are lighting the hospital tree Friday night!!!
