Wow, I really suck at blogging. I am never sitting at this iMac anymore, and when I do it is normally to pay a bill or read some sort of random article. Plus, I really hate that there isn't not a good way to blog on this stupid machine. I really need to find a program like Window's Live Writer. Oh well.
Thanksgiving weekend was awesome! Kyla, Rob and Taryn joined us from Oak Harbor, WA as well as Louie's parents for a great weekend. The highlight was definitely the Friday festivities of parade, lighting, and big big fireworks! Couldn't have ask for a more perfect evening for it all. I didn't partake in much of the Black Friday shopping like I used to do. There did not seem to be as many "steals" out there...or maybe it has to do with the fact that there isn't any money to be spent. That always puts a bah-humbug to everything.
It snowed 2-3 inches today, on a different, more current note. I have decided that I really like the snow when it is fresh and beautiful. I do not care for the fact that we live on a corner lot and I have twice the amount of sidewalks to shovel. Thank god we aren't getting the 8 feet of snow like we did last year. I would have the muscles after that winter for sure. It is a nice break from the 2, 5, 8 degrees we have been having. This feels like a heat wave!
Last weekend we did our annual Christmas cookie making over at Matt and Casey's house. I am sad to say that I forgot to bring a camera with me...sad day. Oh well. The twins were very cute and lovable. We only made and decorated two batches of the sugar cookies this year. I have another two batches of dough in my refridge and I am just trying to get the motivation to cook and decorate those. It is sooo much work.
Tomorrow I am heading over to the Truscotts house for the annual Apple Strudel making. Wow...what a lot of traditions over the holidays. It is nice.
I am just getting over another head cold. They suck.
As far the house goes...we got crown molding up, I finally got the mantel done, and we have put up the big 52" tv as well as the receiver and surround sound in the living room, to match our couches we put in a couple weeks ago. I think we are a little antsy to get our living room in order. We have already watched Harry Potter 5 and 6 on Blu Ray with our speakers and sitting on our couches. It is nice to report and Louie, Bentley and I can all sprawl out on our sectional and we don't even touch each other. It is very comfy. Now if we can only get a floor in. haha. I think the goal is to try for superbowl. We will see.
This upcoming weekend we celebrate Christmas in Libby Montana with Louie's parents. I am really looking forward to that! I can't believe Christmas in only 1.5 weeks away. Whoa.
