This is one busy month, but I know it is going to be a fun one too!

The First Snow

It is snowing here today, and Thade is thrilled. He loves the snow.

We have just a little snow, but I think it totally counts as the first snow of the season.

Tonight we are going to the Holiday Parade at 6:00 p.m., and it looks like it is going to be really really cold. This is one of my favorite parades. All of the Floats have Christmas Lights and many of the businesses and area Churches will be serving Hot Chocolate to keep everybody warm. Thade can’t wait to see Santa, and I can’t wait to get a few pictures of the merriment.

Thanksgiving Pictures

Thanksgiving week was filled with lots of yummy treats from the kitchen.

There was plenty of dessert for all.

The kiddos were anxious for everyone to visit on Thanksgiving, but the kitties napped in the sunshine all day.

Thanksgiving was filled with tasty food, big hugs, and lots of fun! After dinner we all played a round of Apples to Apples, and everyone had a great time. The kiddos had fun too, and way too many homemade goodies.

The Tree Skirt Is Complete

The Tree Skirt is complete, and so is the Christmas decorating too!

I finished sewing the binding on this afternoon, and I really like how the tree skirt turned out. I think the kitties will enjoy taking naps under the tree, at least until the presents get there.

Will You Be Shopping Today?

Me? Nope, no… Thade has other plans today, he is ready to decorate. I looks like I’m going to be digging out Christmas decorations out of storage all day, and attempting to decorate the house for Christmas. Thade really wants to set up his tree as soon as possible, and Nana brought along an outdoor tree for the front yard. Hmmm, I wonder where I put all of that stuff after last Christmas?
