We set up our Christmas tree and village today. Chad and I started this village when Kohl's first opened up in the area with a few pieces. Each year it is added to as gifts for Christmas and his birthday, which is three days after Christmas. His most recent piece is the Donut Shop. The kids insisted on buying it for him upon his return from Israel. He is always so sweet to bring us treats from his trips, so they wanted to surprise him this time.
We all enjoy spending time putting this up together while listening to Christmas songs. Unfortunately, the cat enjoys it too, and we usually wake up each morning to village people knocked over!
I like the village because the dreamer in me can imagine living in a small town, where it actually snows in December, enjoying the simple things in life. For now though, I'll take a cloudy, cool day in a constantly changing town, and I will definitely enjoy the simple things in life!
