December 1, 2002

     Here it is the first of December already.  I put up the Christmas tree and strung on the lights Friday.  RaeAnne was so excited to see it.  This morning Daddy, Nicholas, RaeAnne and I put the decorations on and tool our traditional picture in front of the tree.  Janea opted to sleep in this morning.

     The girls went shopping this afternoon.  We had fun at a craft show and then at the Mall.  RaeAnne would not sit on Santa's lap for a picture.  She is very convinced that Santa might bite!

     I have all our stockings hanging by the fireplace.  I have KaeLynn's there too.  I am still positive that we will have our referral by Christmas.  I am starting to get antzy!
