I wish we could have a tree in the living room year-round!
The kids playing "Polar Express"
We are in full fledged HOLIDAY mode at the Stephens house! With D-Day rapidly approaching, we have already decked the halls like possessed elves, baked our way into a few food comas and even found time to carve out a corner for baby. I can't really tell what the kids are more excited for: presents on Christmas or bringing home the "new" baby. I think they are mostly enjoying all the treats around the house (no smell reminds me more of Christmas than chex mix-so I have been whipping it up by the pounds)! We have been busy crafting our way through the advent calendar and can't believe how quickly the month is flying by! Early this month Adam received GREAT news when word came that he passed the second and final part of the National Dental Boards! Woo-hoo! He completed his FINAL final last week and now with just five months to go, he is preparing for the state licensure exams. I can hardly believe how far we've come and how close we are!
