setting up for Christmas





Ever have one of those years where you just seem to be behind. Well, this isn't like the year where I went to walgreens at 3am christmas eve and got my parents the clapper and my sister a sobakanawa pillow (sorry about that family, I was young and didn't know Jesus) but setting up for christmas did seem to get away from us a little this year. Probably because we were planning our trip to Mexico for so long and the old tree took a back seat to 80 degree weather and sunbathing=)

Anyways, the tree is up now and for the first time ever, the Zondervan home is decked out with the Clark W Griswold Christmas light set!!! Unbeknownst to us, while we were in mexico, some of our great friends actually took the time to stand out in the freezing cold and decorate the outside of our house for us!!! Don't get jealous that you don't have friends like that, we just happened to be blessed and highly favored=)

It was so crazy we were driving back from our trip and it was like 3am and i'm exhausted. We're coming up our street and notice what looks like our house but it's decked out in lights!! I ask Kendra "is that OUR house?" She squints and says "NO!" =) Upon closer inspection I tell her it indeed is our house and we were welcomed home with the new lights that our girls absolutely love!!!

Thanks Batchos, you guys are great and Merry Christmas to all!!!!
