Christmas (A little late)

The Christmas "season" has finally come to an end. Yes the Christmas "season" is exactly what I said. The Christmas a "season", in case you didn't know, starts the day after Halloween and goes until the first week of January. We took our Christmas decorations down the week after Christmas, but last night was the last night that we had our Christmas lights on. I love Christmas!
I haven't shared some of the highlights though.
Lamon was pretty much crazy this Christmas. I don't know how he did it all, but he managed to work his normal full-time job, work putting Christmas lights up, bust out 9 beautiful rocking horses, make bunk beds for the kids (in two days) and without me knowing put together a beautiful jewelery box. What a talented and amazing man! Lamon let me help him this year with his projects (minus the jewelery box). I told a friend about how I helped Lamon "Nail in some screws." And that shows you just about how helpful I really was. But I did get to use some power tools, which was quite fun. And I know Lamon let me do it just so that I could feel like I contributed, because I really had no clue what I was doing.
The kids were pretty excited about the bunk beds though. There was a letter from Santa Clause on Christmas morning that said that they were really busy at the North Pole this year, and he wasn't able to finish the bunk beds, but that he heard that their Dad could help finish putting a ladder on etc. Drew said, "Dad! I need to go to the South Pole (North Pole Drew) and tell the elves thank you for my bunk bed!) It was really cute.
