Sometimes I think I go a little over board with decorating our home for Christmas. I just love getting the house ready for the holiday season. Each room that we decorate has a theme all its own.
Family
The Lloyd family consist of David, Donna, Caleb and Madilyn. We are just like any other family and are trying to make the most of our lives. The post found within this section are about our everyday life from my point of view and maybe an occasional musing from David.

We don’t do Santa…..
Tuesday, December 11th, 2012
I know that this is not a popular stance but in my house we do not encourage the belief in Santa. David and I decided many years ago that we would not encourage our children to believe in Santa.
