Shifting gears towards Christmas things. 

Christmas music. 

Adelyn wants to decorate for Christmas. She says it goes like this: September: fall. October: Halloween. November: Christmas. Thanksgiving Day: Thanksgiving. Day after Thanksgiving: back to Christmas. 

I got a new pretty candle holder and some think candles to light during dinner. I want to start having more candlelit dinners just because it's pretty. 

Going to bed at 7:00 because my stomach was hurting, and I was tired. It was glorious. 

A fun weekend coming up. 

Incredible fall color.
