Day 34: One Holiday Down, One To Go December 4, 1861

The count down begins before they come and recruit my brothers, I dont wanna think about that. Ive been havin so much fun with my brothers, I dont want them to leave! Christmas is coming up, and earlier today we gave all each other the ideas. We are gonna go cut down a tree soon, I love the smell of christmas trees and doing it with my brothers, it will be like the good ole days. I hope when they leave it will only be a couple more months. Today we took the boys to go hang out with the Jacksons. Tyler came home a couple nights ago, he wasnt home for thanksgiving. Tyler said that they had a couple problems with moving the guys in and out of the camp, so his stop was last. But all that matters is that he is home safe and sound now.
