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


The tree is finally up today and I am smiling! Now to get ALL of the cards in the mail, the rest of the shopping done, the gifts wrapped and the menu decided on! If you say it quickly it doesn't sound too bad!

It is an old tree but a favorite! I only got one box of decorations out this year (I am trying to keep things as simple as possible) and was able to use a red and white theme.


Here is our Anaheim Angels decoration, a wonderful memory from our trip to the US 3 years ago.


For all my GDITC friends I will not make it next year, with everything that has happened in the last 6 months I am not planning too far ahead. Try and stop me in 2014 though!!!
Thank you for all the comments on my recent posts, I am so sorry I have not replied to you all. Each one means so much but I am time poor, I am looking forward to catching up soon!!
We spent another 2 days in Geelong last week. SH had another pet scan and then we had our radiation planning appointment. We start 4 weeks of radiation treatment on the 19th December not in early January as we had hoped. This is also the date the 'horsey' one finally says farewell to her braces. Oh well we just have to take it a day at a time and hold our trust.....

So much going on for you Lise! Goodbye braces for the Horsey One..yay!!! Hope all goes well with the next round(s) of treatment....I believe we have a date for March 2014?

If it helps you are way more organised than me...lol. Bet the Horsey One can't wait to get her braces off. Nicola's appointment is today and we are getting the retainer removed from her bottom teeth - she can't bite into anything harder than a banana and that's no way to live....or eat for that matter. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.
