Christmas is coming??

Thanksgiving was so slow in coming.  I guess it is because we were all waiting for Trisha & family to arrive.  They got here on a Sunday and stayed until the next Sunday, and boy did we have fun in between.  It is always so much fun when she comes because then everyone else comes too.  We were however, envious of Katie & Jared & kids because they go to go to Hawaii, but not before they were able to be among us. 

Thanksgiving was small as only Trisha, Matt & kids were actually at our Thanksgiving table.  Everyone else was at their in-laws.  But we made up for that day with many other days together doing:  shopping, celebrating April & Trisha's B-days, going out for lunch, sleepovers and another "fright night" at grandma & grandpa's.  This time we watched:  "The Tingler", "The Birds", and "Watacher in The Woods".  Fun for all.

Now we are just speeding towards Christmas.  Lucky for me, Trisha coming forced me into active Christmas shopping so they could take their presents home.  So as long as I was shopping, I might as well shop for everyone.  As it turns out, I am done shopping and all the presents are wrapped prettily and put underneath my Christmas Tree, which this year is a "real" tree.  Now I am just counting the days, just like all the kids.  It is so fun to come together and celebrate with family.  I just love it.

Now I just hope it snows before the actual day comes.  What is Christmas without snow.  I had plenty of that living in Houston, Texas and Phoenix, Arizona.  Green and Christmas just don't go together for me.

Well, I'm looking forward now to that merriest of all days.  MERRY CHRISTMAS.
