It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
Thursday, December 17, 2009 at 06:19PM It's actually been pretty white for weeks now, so we've got the looking like Christmas part covered. Now, finally, it's starting to feel like it, too. :) Over the weekend, we finally got our tree, brought it home and decorated it. It's a subalpine fir this year and one of the tallest we've had yet...probably about 12 feet:
;)
Delivered little teacher and friend gifts Monday (having spent much of the weekend getting to that point, lol). Tuesday, as a reward for getting those other gifts distributed, the boys and I went to see a 12 foot (ish) gingerbread house:
;)
For those who are local, it was cool...definitely remarkable in the sheer numbers of ingredients. (700 hours, 1700 bricks of homemade gingerbread, 2300 sugar cookies, etc.) It's in the lobby of the Embassy Suites next to the Budweiser Event Center.
Other than that, been wrapping and finishing gifts this week and finally made it to see Santa today:
;)
We visited the Santa up in Old Town this year, having not done that before, and were quite happy. I'm pretty sure Santa was impressed with the boys' lists, as he was at a bit of a loss for words after both Micah and Noah. ;)
Okay, off to do some more wrapping! Hoping to get everything in the mail tomorrow!
