Making a list... Checking it twice

After a nice Thanksgiving at our house where I cooked my first turkey, I'm gearing up for Christmas big time.

I did some heavy Black Friday shopping from the comfort of my home via the Internet - pj's on and coffee in hand. I estimate that I'm about 80% done, but that's probably giving myself too much credit. We'll see as I get closer how well I did yesterday.

Today we had our family photos taken - thank you Lisa Marie!!! I'm nearly done with designing our Christmas card and should have those ordered tomorrow... Yippee!

Two nice young men came and hung our lights on the house and trees today - something I discourage Mike from doing because our roofline is so high... at least until I can take out more life insurance on him. I still need to hang the garland on the porch, and plan to do that tomorrow.

Mike and Will picked out a new (fake) tree for the house - NOT prelit. We have bad luck with prelit trees and opted to go with the old school method. I love real trees, but nearly put myself in the hospital last time I had one from allergy and asthma overload.

I'm loving this sweater weather and hope it lasts! I'll post pics soon of the family photoshoot.
