Our Weekend-The Number Edition

• Observed sixty-eight meticulously decorated Christmas trees at the “Festival of Trees”.
• Including one tree mounted after first being turned one hundred and eighty degrees.
• Witness two eyes grow bright when visiting with the Festival’s talking tree.
• Heard my little girl mention three different times that the talking tree was her favorite part of the night.
• Saw the same two eyes fill with terror while sitting on Santa’s lap for a max of six point eight seconds. And after the short one-sided visit she raced back to dad’s arms in a record three seconds.
• Smiled with two other bright smiles while watching two trains make their way around the tracks.
• Drove nine miles to see an extreme Christmas house decorated with thousands and thousands of twinkling lights.
• Used Felt that I used eight boxes of Kleenexes.
• Watched Spence hang the last four strands of Christmas lights along the roof-line.
• Took seven up-close pictures of my Christmas decorations in which I will post because my number one goal is to completely bore you.
• Chuckled at Brynlee’s six pretend guests at her make-believe Thanksgiving dinner.
• Took a picture of my two kids with the twenty member cast of the “Enchanted Christmas Tales” play.
• Smiled while one life-size toy solider took our family of four's picture on the play’s set.
• Witnessed one beautiful sunset that looked just like fire.
• Perfectly balanced Jace in his walker using two blankets.
• Heard Brynlee respond to Jace in the walker by saying, “You look so cute in there, buddy!” six different times.
• Received our first two Christmas cards for this season.
• Snuggled up by the fire and watched two movies with Spencer after the kids had gone to bed.
• Listened to Jewel’s “Joy-A Holiday Collection” CD twelve times in it’s entirety before Spence downloaded fifty-six more Christmas songs for our listening enjoyment (and for his sanity).
• Enjoyed Sunday dinner and played games with two friends and their two kids.
• DVR’ed one Christmas Devotional to watch tonight. (And by the way…I can’t wait! The Christmas Devotional is one of my favorite Christmas time events.)
• Mentioned that I love this time of year more times than I can count!!

Seriously, I LOVE IT!
