Well, we got the tree up - and we've got some lights on it as well! Tonight was a good night to start the process, although we did have to go out and get some new lights this year. We tried the old ones out, and sadly, they're gone.
Today was a bit of work, but it was a good day overall. It was Madison's last day at school until Fall Break, which is next week. She's got the entire week off of school, which she'll enjoy. We ourselves might be a bit too busy for more elaborate plans, but we'll still have family with us - Ba-Ba and Nana are coming up from Florida this Sunday. We'll also probably finish this tree. Tonight, the lights are up, and things are quite nice and cozy. We had time to watch a Christmas movie before bedtime - "Babes in Toyland." We watch this each year, and Madison chose this one over the other Christmas movies.
A word about school: Madison is acing all her tests. She nails every grade-appropriate spelling list, and with a little practice, can get quickly all of her advanced words too. She's already studying the second grade sight words, and knows quite a few of those pretty quickly.
We've ordered a few books for her through the school, but we are now at a point where there's such a thing as getting books that are too easy to read. We did get some Christmas-themed ones, so Daddy is excited about reading those before bedtime. Yes, we've been reading a lot before bedtime. Daddy is reading all kinds of Christmas books, and Thanksgiving ones as well. But Madison has picked up from the library a few books that actually don't have much in the pictures department. Yes, she's reading pages that don't have pictures. We're very proud of her learning - she's incredibly bright. Of course, that's just Mommy and Daddy talking, but still!
