The Sheldon Family Christmas Card...

...is being printed as we speak! What will it be this year? Here's a hint: it was a delicious experience! In the meantime, here are some pictures from our trip to Chicago for Thanksgiving.
S, R and Grampy Sheldon

First snow for R

The kids and Granna and Papa

Papa, Uncle Nate & R
UsUs Again
And finally, here is our primary area of Christmas decor in our livingroom--we are foregoing a live Christmas tree in favor of this tabletop version since it would be a constant battle to keep R from pulling a floor level tree over. This one we've got anchored down so he can't pull it off the table. We'll hold out for a large, live tree next year when he has grasped the meaning of "No Touch!" a little better :) We also have an olivewood Nativity set I got in Israel on our china cabinet, and a Fisher Price Nativity set for Saylor to play with as well. She occasionally calls the Baby Jesus "Baby Ranger."

It is such a blessing that Austin is not yet mobile now that the holidays are here. I have one last Christmas where I don't have to worry about him grabbing ornaments off the tree!

Love all the pictures - I hope that we're still on your Christmas card list - if not than I'm sure I'll see it Paul's facebook soon. We always look forward to the Sheldon's card :-) Speaking of card - can I get your new address? I don't have it, or I never recorded it. Thanks!!!

So fun! I can't believe how big Ranger looks!
