check. check. check.

the list is almost done!

Jake had the day off,
the weather is beautiful,
no one is sick,
the crowds aren't thick yet,
so we just did it.

We hit the local shopping area, all six of us, and checked off our Christmas list.

What fun.
It was our first time.

Last year Jake was deployed,
the year before that, we had newborn twins,
the year before that Jake was deployed,
the year before that we had just moved here
the year before that Jake was deployed.

Yeah...it's been a while since we've done the whole 'relax and enjoy the season' thing -
This will be a grand year indeed and what a way to start it off with a FABULOUS family day of thinking of others.

The girls did great. GREAT great great!
