So to get back on topic, it does look like Christmas inside our house. There is this store that we pass everyday, it's right on the way to our apartment. Im always saying ohh lets stop there. It's a huge Christmas store that has been open since I've been here in September (probably open all year) and it has tons of (fake) trees outside with decorations galore. Finally, we stopped there to pick up a few things. We got some lights and ornaments, although we didnt get a fake tree cause Im holding out for a real one, I really hope they sell them here. There's just something about the smell of a real tree that puts me in the Christmas mood. Besides the tree, all we need is the Home Alone soundtrack and Mariah Carey Christmas cd and we are good to go! Only 44 days left, but who is really counting anyway:) Still praying we will be able to come home for Christmas, cause that would be the best gift ever!
Living life year to year in new cities and countries has been so exciting! Capturing and writing it all down, so my family and I can always remember these amazing times!

All I want for Xmas...to go home!
It's beginning to look like christmas around here. Now while I understand Thanksgiving is coming up, which we are very excited for, they obviously don't celebrate turkey day in Greece. Oh how we will miss Thanksgiving morning in the US, watching football, eating delicious turkey and pumpkin pie! It's probably our favorite eating day of the year. I don't think I can get a can of pumpkin so I can't make pumpkin pie this year. Sadly, this year while packing everything to come to Greece food was put on the back burner because of the fabulous addition on Jaxson! I was way to worried about what to bring for him, that I didn't even bring peanut butter, crazy I know! I'll figure out something sweet and good though, to make up for it.
