Sock Party

Every year we have a gift exchange were we exchange socks. Don't worry the socks are all new, bought for the purpose of the event. The crazier the better.

Baby Eggs

The new Chickens have started to lay eggs. Because the chickens are so small so are their eggs.That is a normal size egg and a baby egg.

O Christmas Tree

This years tree is red and gold. It looks remarkably like the "berries and branches" pattern from work, I've been painting them like crazy.

So far it hasn't fallen over like last year but it does lean.

Christmas Miracle

Last March Newman the cat disappeared. He went outside one day and never came home, we all thought he was dead. We were all wrong!!! This morning at about 6:30am I was woken by excessive meowing in the hall. I was sure it was my cat Stuart, but it sounded like he was wounded. I began to call him into my room. At this point Samantha was awake and she said that the meowing didn't sound at all like my cat. Then a white cat jumped up on her bed ( Stuart is black) . Remember Newman was dead. So we were both thinking "How did a strange cat get in the house?" She got up and the mystery cat jumped down meowing at her feet as she made her way to the light switch. Before the light was on she said "This looks like Newman." Impossible, Newman is dead. She tuned the light on and there was Newman completely alive! Tada, HE LIVES!!!!

We have no idea where he had been, he is fatter and relatively clean so he must have found someone to live with. The current story is him being held against his will be an elderly woman.

And I was just saying yesterday the I wanted a kitten for Christmas.

( just in case you were wondering Dad let him in on his was to work)

It Snowed!!

Last night there was hardly any. This morning, hello!

Deck the Halls

We have started to decorate for Christmas. We put white and purple twinkle lights around the house in various places and colored lights out around the porches. It beginning to look alot like Christmas. I'm feelin it!! I'm really excited about presents this year, I did all my shopping online. The packages are starting to arrive. It almost as exciting to get someone else present in the mail as it is to get one of your own. Next comes the tree!!

Happy Late Thanksgiving

I feel like I spend half of my posts informing you that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. So in short, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. This is my thanksgiving post, so pretend that it is thanksgiving. Here we are getting ready to eat. The food was amazing. The potatoes were creamy. We were all very thankful.
We then went to my pap and grandma's house. We ate and then we ate, it seemed to be all we did. We had dumplings out of the big silver pot and ordered pizza. This is the first time ever that I can remember ordering pizza there. Mom says that we have had pizza there before. But I'm not completely convinced. I took a picture of it to prove its existence. We were all very thankful.Our usual tradition of watching Holiday Inn however didn't happen. We only have this oldie on a VHS and our player is broken. But we were all very thankful none the less.
