Jacey seemed to start feeling better as the day went on. She was not happy that we didn't got see Alvin & The Chipmunks but she just wasn't feeling up to it.

Today we are going to start our gingerbread house.  It is a nice project that keeps us busy for a few days. This has become a new tradition for us each year. We make the house and then give it away. I am not sure who Jacey has planned on giving it to this year but I am sure it will be someone very special to her. Last year the house went to her physical therapist. Jacey misses her greatly.

Christmas is coming up fast. I am glad to say that I am done shopping for the most part. We have really cut back on our spending. The kids are older now and it just seems more important to be together than focus on presents so much. Jacey's main concern is that she gets new pj's. This has been a family tradition since I was a kid. It is so cute because she gets all excited about getting to open 1 present on Christmas Eve. It is always the pj's. Last year when we were in L.A. just before Christmas Jacey knew that money was very tight. She asked if she was still getting her pj's. I told her I hadn't bought them yet and wasn't sure if I would have the time or money when we got home. Tears began to fill her eyes. I couldn't believe how much those pj's meant to her. Of course I had already bought them. It is usually one of the 1st gifts I buy each year. She has again been asking about them this year...lol.

Justin is off at Model United Nations today. This is his second year attending and he really enjoys it.
