December already?

Wow, what happened to November? I mean really, I planned on blogging after Thanksgiving but here I am on the 3rd of December sitting down to blog for the first time since Turkey Day.

We had a great Thanksgiving. We were alone this year but now without yummy eats. I made way too much food, as usual. We watched the Cowboys and a few other games. We just enjoyed some "us" time, it was nice.
Thanks for all he Thanksgiving wishes!

Well now that Christmas is right around the corner I'm almost in shock. I can't believe that there are only 3+ weeks left to the big day. I have so many things I want to do and make, baking and visiting and I don't think it's all gonna get done.

When I was a kid it seemed like the time passed so slowly until Christmas and now it's here and I'm not even ready for it and really I didn't even see it coming, I feel like I've be hit by some actor in a V8 commercial but this time it's a conk on the head and a "Should have started sooner!"

All that stuff is gonna have to wait, we have a Christmas play coming up and I'm busy or should be, making props. Our kiddos are so excited, they are preforming the 3 Trees skit and it's gonna be so cute. I can't wait, actually I can since I don't have any of the trees finished yet.

Hey I took this picture the other day of the sunset. It actually gets dark here by 4:30, it's a huge bummer and contributes to some depression, I think. I watched the sun set and it was lovely, very unusual.
Okay so this photo doesn't do it justice but it was so cool.

The other day I got an e-mail from a friend and this is what it was; a Mountain Dew Christmas tree. Are you kidding, who in the world would have drunk that many Mountain Dews, Dr. Peppers I can see but Mountain Dew? (That was for you Bro. Scott)


It's actually pretty cool, I like it!! It's funky and I like that.
We put up our tree on Black Friday, as I mourned not being out in the rush. I mourned it until I heard about that poor guy in RI. Maybe it was good I was here and not able to fare the fun. Usually my sister in law and I get about by 4:00 and make the rounds, well not usually but when we're home for the holidays. It's fun but it looks like the fun is getting out of control.

I went to get my hair cut after a long absence from the frizerka (hair stylist). I have been letting my hair grow out even thought I know it looks better shorter, anyhow I finally did it today, she cut off about 5 inches and I LOVE it.

Anyhow, this is me and my new haircut, What'cha think?
Anyhoo, hope you all have a wonderful week and get lots of Christmas stuff done!
