signs of christmas. we finished the holiday puzzle already. the lego advent calendar is a huge hit - its the first question everyone asks colin in the morning - 'what did you get today?'. the wrapping basket is out and in use. the holiday cards have been ordered. the tree is up & the ornaments are on. the house is decorated - inside & out. the stockings are hung. the presents are almost all bought. the shipping boxes are assembled and awaiting their packages. we are getting there. hohoho.

nothing screams festive like a special delivery from the ups man today.
i can almost taste a cup of tim hortons now in a special holiday cup.
i might just have to incorporate this into our holiday decorations.
thanks mom & dad!

yesterday morning.
he has been wishing for this since the holiday lego catalog
arrived last month.
what a great way to count the days till christmas.

its beginning to feel festive around here already.
'tis the season.
