Saturday, November 12th
Yes, we know that it is not even Thanksgiving, but we are very booked with events both locally and several out-of-town ones from now through January 1st and we need time to get everything set up. It takes about two full weekends plus daily tweaking for about a week or so and this was a rare weekend (December 18th being the only other one) where our schedule is mostly open.
Jack and Melinda get all zillion boxes down from the attic and Melinda spends a huge chunk of the days Saturday and Sunday just opening up everything and pulling it all out. The kids are very excited about Christmas and all the decorations and have "helped" us take everything down.
We have been blessed with some very nice Radko and Lynn Haney Santa Clauses as well as plenty other Christmas decorations. These are pieces that are delicate and some are heavy, so we have to get A and X distracted playing elsewhere while she pulls these out and sets them up. Later there will be plenty of time for the kids to decorate the Christmas tree (which we just put up) and lots of other crafts that Melinda has planned! In fact, they spend sometime working on a special Thanksgiving craft that I can't describe right now (its a secret).
There is still plenty to do over the next few weeks and I am sure that Melinda won't wait until December 18th to finish it up.
Christmas time will be big in the Nelson house this year!
