Gettin' er done

We never get everything done on the Christmas to-do list.  We've been trying.  We got the tree decorated yesterday and went bowling with the kids last night.

Nothing says 'Merry Christmas' like the finger sugar coated with a tree ornament.

I cranked the Charlie Brown Christmas music (which I LOVE . . . them, not so much).

There's our happy guy . . . whistling while he works.

On to bowling.  This was intereting.  Scott and I figured that we hadn't been since Ella's birthday party when she was in like 3rd grade.  So about 8 years??  Scott pulled a hammy, or yanked something in his back.  And I wrenched something in my wrist.  When we left Scott was practically dragging a leg like Quasimodo and I was cradling my claw.  Pretty sad..

But even dragging a leg, I think Scott bowled the best.

We're never going to get everything done on the list (we never do).  We voted to have a relaxed Christmas this year, so that takes the pressure off.  We'll just try to fit in as much as we can.  :)

With that in mind, today I'd like to finish decorating, finish shopping, get everything wrapped, make awesome snowflake garland, go mistletoe hunting, bake goodies, make corn chowder, vacuum house, give smelly pug a bath, make shrinky dinks, make Sunday phone calls, find the perfect antiquey silver tray, plan Christmas Eve, go down Christmas Tree Lane and take a bath.

Scott says there's football on TV and Ella's still sawing logs.  Soooooo . . . maybe not.  Ho! Ho! Ho!
