Deck the halls...




Thanksgiving is done and now it's the mad rush to procure those thoughtful gifts for our beloved family. We (I) all still hope that we (I) made Santa's nice list again for the 30th+ time. The yard art is twinkling and once again the neighbor's yard is bare. Maybe we decorate a little too early for every single solitary holiday. I did feel a little like Clark W. Griswald as the "Spaghetti Junction" of extension cords lay before me.

We just finished decorating the tree and I honestly don't know why we buy such a tall one because only the bottom 3 feet is decorated. I also didn't know a single sting of lights could hold 14 ornaments, side-by-side. We still have to flip a coin to see who gets to put the angel on top...me or Becky. Just kidding.

With glitter from the ornaments on their hands, the kids are now rolling the dough and baking cookies. No need to decorate after they come out of the oven. Tommy and Jimmy love to help out in the kitchen, especially when the end product is a cookie.
