Friday Fun

The Christmas tree is finally up and the lights on-ready for our three oldest grands to come and decorate it tonight. Our son-in-law's company Christmas party is tonight, so we are going to go pick the kids up and take them to dinner. Then back here to decorate the tree, watch holiday shows on TV and have a sleepover. I've gotten quite a bit of decorating done today, too. My new Christmas theme is "less is more". Probably using less than half of what I have and very happy with that! Hope to post some pictures later.

Goodbye November

Amazing how fast this year has gone by-seems like I say that every year about this time. We are finally over the crud. We went down to our church building and helped decorate for Christmas. I haven't had the opportunity to do this before and it was fun! I'm looking forward to getting my own tree and decorations out now. Guess I needed a little nudge to get me in the right frame of mind.

I've been making some cross stitch ornaments for the tree and hope to get those finished soon. I've really been enjoying stitching in the evenings. Not much else going on-husband will be going to our daughter's tomorrow to see if he can sort out whether it's her alternator or battery that's keeping her car from starting. I'm thinking I'll stay home, put on some Christmas music and catch up on some housework!

The Gift That Keeps on Giving...

...but no one wants it! We now have three down with the stomach bug-four if you count our youngest grandchild that seems to have started it all. One of them is me, although I haven't been as sick as the others. Hopefully we can get this all out of the way before the Christmas Holidays get here!

Another Thanksgiving in the Books...

...and it was a good one! The last of the holiday company just drove away and the house is very quiet. We played with grandchildren, met our new grand nephew, reminisced with our children and siblings, ate too much good food and watched a lot of football and Thomas the Tank Engine.  Now to relax for a week before starting to think about Christmas decorations!
