Let The Festivities Begin!

Oh joy!  I love when the Christmas festivities begin! The Browning Christmas tree went up today...and as I type, the kids are hanging ornaments.  The greatest part about the hanging of the ornaments is listening to Pamela tell the story behind each one.  Who it is from, where it is from, or who made it and at what age.  Even if the kids remember the "stories", they eagerly await to hear my sister tell them again.  We all have favorites, and some not so (Shhhhh I didn't say that). Regardless, we all love this "event". I just overheard the call for eggnog!  We enjoy that almost as much!!!

The weekend wasn't so busy.  Though it was cold.  When I tried to leave the house without a coat and scarf....my sister reminded me that I don't have complaining rights if I don't take care of myself.  So, I wore my coat and stuffed my scarf in my purse.  :)  I'm about the worst at following doctor's orders!!

No bowling on Sunday with the man.  He was having some back pain issues and I was tossing cookies.  I'm not sure what from...ohhhh that's right I have cancer.  :)  He handled it much better than I thought...and well I cried like I normally do.

Aunt Barb bought me flannel jammies, an electric blankie and some cool shoes yesterday.  She also made some baked ziti that we all enjoyed. We finished the night watching another gut wrenching Extreme Home Makeovers.  With us ladies....not a dry eye.  

Nativity scenes are put out, ornaments are up and the egg nog is yummy.  Life is good.
