We love Christmas so much...*squeals*
Im sorry, I think everyone thinks we do something every single day but that's not the case. We do something every weekend starting this weekend when we go get the tree. But other than the weekends being busy its pretty much sporadically throughout the next 8 weeks.
We also have 7 birthdays parties mixed in between the last week of November and the first half of January.
