It's Christmas time

As I mentioned before, the tree is up.

Melissa has been baking like crazy for last few days to ship back goodies for friends and family back east. We packed a bunch of boxes tonight to ship out tomorrow.

I just realized that I am running out of time to get presents for my folks because they need to be shipped.

The kids get to find a piece of chocolate on the tree each morning. I'm not sure how this tradition got started.

The day after Thanksgiving Melissa and I went shopping for toys to donate. We ended up in 4 or 5 major shopping areas/stores and really loaded up. Melissa and Danny took the toys to the Toys for Tots drop off location. Hopefully the kids will continue the tradition when they're older.
