Well, not outside, but inside our house, it is! Outside, the weather is dreary and rainy and mid-40s (which is better than the 9 degree wind chill from last week). But we finally got a tree and all the decorations out of the attic, so at least it's festive inside our little cottage! This is the first year that Zach and I have had a tree since we got married seven years ago. In Hawaii, the live trees were very expensive and pretty dried out by the time they were shipped from the mainland. Plus, we were always traveling back to see family anyway so we didn't really need to decorate our own home.
But this year, everyone is coming to us! Aunt Lauren flies in on Monday; Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Layne drive in on Wednesday; Uncle Jesse flies into Jacksonville on Thursday, and Great-Grandma, Great Aunt and Great Uncle fly in to Wilmington at the same time on Thursday. Whew! They are all staying in a huge house on the beach, about five miles from our house, which will be perfect. We'll do present-opening and big dinners here and then just hang out at the beach the rest of the time.
