Decompressing

Well, things have died down here after a very fun week of family, football and food. I think I probably gained 10 pounds, but it was all well worth it. Mom, Mike, Lucille and Justin were all great. Baker is mourning the loss of his new best friend, Uncle Justin. Very sad. We are now in full Christmas mode. Getting the tree this weekend and have just finished doing the outside today. Lots of lights and of course our lit of reindeer, Petzel is out in full glory. Lizzy, you missed a mean carrot cake cook-off. Both were so good. All food was amazing actually. Baker has the church choir concert on Sunday so we just got in from choir practice. He is really excited. Should be really cute. It is still boiling hot here, but is sapposed to be cooler this weekend. I want cold weather. I know it is even hot in Chicago. I swear global warming is out of control
