'Tis the season!!

This is the time of year that we all eat way too much!!! We had a wonderful time in Troutdale at Grandma & Grandpa's house. Friends of ours, Laurie, Mike & Monica White joined us for dinner, as did Tony's girlfriend, Katy. we had a great time visiting and of course eating. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Marc put up our Christmas lights before we left to go to the "Valley" last week. We had been debating about what kind of lights we were going to put up this year, it was between colored or white. We have been using icicles for several years and decided to not use them this year. I think Marc did a wonderful job, what do you think?


Then, of course mom and I went to the Fred's "sock sale". If you know mom and I at all you know how crazy we are on Black Friday. We have been getting up at 5:00 am (and sometimes earlier) to go shopping for as long as I can remember. There were no fights this year, it was actually pretty mellow, we even attempted to go to Wal Mart again this year, Even though we vowed last year not to ever again.

I have been working on our Christmas cards feverishly for the past two weeks. I am hoping to get them in the mail by the end of the week!

Big news in the scrapbook world, the Scrapbooker of the year was announced and she is on the new CK cover for January, check it out here...

Congratulations to Elizabeth Kartchner, I am jealous!!

I'd better get going, gotta get the boys out the door to the bus and get some work done on my Christmas cards. Have a wonderful week!
