Mmmm...coffee

So every morning I brew up a couple cups of coffee, then sit at the computer reading e-mail and a few blogs while drinking the creamer laden goodness. Since it's December, it was time to break out the big Christmas mug. The one that cuts out the trip to the kitchen to refill. Why spend time refilling when there are all your blogs to read. :) What's in the cup today? Coffee from Holiday Peppermint beans that I ground this morning, 2 teaspoons of Splenda, and an obnoxious amount of peppermint mocha creamer. Have a great day!

It's started!

The Christmas season I mean. Dec. 1st and there is snow on the ground. The fall decorations are back in the attic. I've started putting out the decorations and the blog has received its Christmas makeover. There are many gifts to buy, cards to send, fudge to make...24 days left!

It's officially December!

Yes - we are back from Illinois

Yes - we had a fun time with family

Yes - I got up early on Black Friday to shop

No - I'm not anywhere near done shopping

No - I don't have any Christmas decorations up yet

Maybe - Will we get a real tree this year

Yes - I'm searching for something to put up on the blog tonight

In the meantime, enjoy this ridiculously cute photo of Rachel and my niece Makenna from this weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving!
