It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas......

Well, it's beginning to look like Christmas in our house. Jake has been dying to put up the tree for the last month! I've been telling him, "As soon as Grandpa gets here." Well, he got here....and the first thing Jake said was "I put up the Christmas tree now mom?!" So, we rearranged the living room and got the tree set up. I also got a small, pink Christmas tree that is so cute!

I took dad to the dermatologist yesterday, he had to have 3 spots removed. They rushed the results so they could get them while he is still here. They called this morning with them and he had to go back to the doctor. One of them was a "basil melanoma" (don't think I'm spelling that right, but oh well) and one was pre-cancerous and one cancerous. So they scraped and froze the cancerous spot again and burned the pre-cancerous one. Ouch. They also said he had precancerous cells all over his lips, so when he gets home he has to start treating that. He'll apply a cream twice a day that will pretty much remove the top several layers of skin. That's going to be the most painful. But hopefully they caught it in time. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers!

On a more positive note, Jake and I will be spending an additional 10-12 days at Grandpa's for Christmas! Tom is going to drive the car back by himself. He swears he prefers that. I feel bad, but everyone says it's better, and we get to spend more time with dad.

So enough blabbin'....here's some pics.






Never too big for daddy's lap! :)



And the stockings were hung......


I hate this picture of me, but it's good of the boys....


I Love these guys!!
