Christmas Time


Yea for Christmas. We've been spending most of our time her on Christmas projects. Decorating trees (making most of the decorations). Making home-made stocking stuffers. Making a few presents. Hanging home-made paper snowflakes from the ceiling. Baking Christmas cookies (well tomorrow anyway). Doing fun little Christmas things with Nadia. Wrapping presents. Shopping for presents (we're done by the way. Well Nadia and I am, Jeff is not). Basically just having a great time getting ready for the holidays. We are so excited and Nadia is starting to get the concept.
She likes the song "Jingle Bells" and today she heard me singing "Oh Christmas Tree" and started singing the first line over and over againg telling me "I like that song." She also sang along with "The Little Drummer Boy." Finn also sang along with us and it was pretty fun.
Merry Christmas everyone and may you have as much fun as we are.

Little Bit of Everything

So I've been trying to update blogger for like a week now and it wouldn't let me post. Now that it has I thought I'd do a little catching up. Though I have undoubtably forgotten much of what I had originally planned.
As you may have seen on Lori's blog we all went to the Rennissance Festival. I didn't get many pictures (other than Nadia at the petting zoo and they're not that great) but Bryan wanted a picture of this guy so he borrowed my camera. So here he is in all his post-apoctolyptic glory (think Mad Max).
Anyway, we had a great day yesterday. I mean that sarcastically (although marvelously I didn't actually get upset about any of it). Jeff got a virus on his laptop that would let others control it from a remote location and that memorized key strokes making it very unsafe. It short he had to completely reformatt his computer and he had some difficulties doing so. Then while I was out doing some shopping (necessity and Christmas combined) I got a flat tire. I mean flat. The rubber had come off of the rim. I happened to be in the Krogers parking lot at the time. Thankfully, Jeff's parents were kind enough to come and get me so I didn't have to walk home in the cold and dark. Then with their help we were able to get it taken care of this morning.
As for what we are up to lately. I'm trying to get our house put together. I mean we moved in in August and I hadn't bothered unpacking everything or putting things where they would be. So I've been working on that as well as planning Chirstmas projects (that I hopefully will get done in time). Nadia and I made paper snowflakes which we will be hanging from the ceiling as soon as I can get Jeff to help (we have nine foot ceilings and even with a chair I'm not quite tall enough). I also have a tea party to plan and throw for Nadia. So I guess we're pretty busy.
