Merry Christmas!

We got our Christmas tree up this past weekend (unlike the years before a week before Christmas). Also the Christmas cards were conquered and sent out Monday!!!

Yay! We are somewhat on the ball! The weather is feeling colder now so it is beginning to feel a bit more like the Christmas Season.

Hope you all have a wonderful Holiday!

Be Prepared

These are our awesome Scouts before heading to an Eagle Court of Honor! :)
