hello family and friends,
I blog this as I sit in bed sick bored to death :( first I had a nasty cold and now I have the flu Blade just had. I can hardly talk or breathe yet but other than that I am GREAT :) I finished putting all my Christmas decor up last week. I am at 15 trees and only 3 of them are not complete yet... but the whole main floor and the basement is done. I just need to finish up Blade's tree and our tree and the furry kids' tree :)
This year I feel like I have OUT done myself but my house is "rock star" for Christmas and I LOVE IT!!!!!!! I can honestly say I don't have a favorite yet and I really thought it was going to be my addition tree that i liked the most... well I just really like how they all came together, the bar tree needs improvements for next year but I will have that put better together I hope, working on the supplies for that "better" for next year :)
Anyhow Christmas is by far the best time to clean your house... and then decorate! BECAUSE you take stuff down and clear the area and well if you are doing that then you might as well do the CLEANING part too... right? Then don't know about you guys but then once its clean... I am a NEAT FREAK about how things are done and how things get put away because I want my house to stay tidy so I can enjoy the lit up trees and such.
Ok so after I got all the trees up I decided to put up my village pieces that I have gotten over the years from my mom and dad at Thanksgiving every year for the last 12 years. Well mind you I haven't put it up since our last house... so its been sitting out in our 'shitty shed' buried ... I was completely freaking out when we couldn't find it... like a serious mess! I called my mom all in a panic and was really upset... then I felt like God turned his light on me and helped me relax a bit and well... we found it!!!!! what a huge relief! The man actually did something for me... it really feels great having my house complete with the holiday decor. I will post some pictures soon.
So how are all of you doing on the good ol' Christmas shopping? I have one child done out of my three. All of the nieces and nephews done but 1, need to finish both parents and do some other last minute things... not a whole lot left but enough.
Our holiday New Years Eve party will be here before we know it! Please if you haven't marked your calendar and cleared your night with a sitter PLEASE do it so you can come join us!!!! Our house Jan. 31 anytime after 7:30pm til ????? Hope most of you can make it. Our home looks more and more like a home this year so ... no crazy stuff :( can really happen this year... unless its in a UNFINISHED room. If you plan on staying the night let us know so I can make sure bedsheets and beds are open for you :)
