Christmas Tree 2006 - Teri Johannes

But in a good way. It’s all about family and the many traditions we have with the kids. Although it doesn’t look like we’ll get everything we want to do crammed into this weekend, since their Dad wants them tomorrow, and I have to share.

Mr. 3T and Tayler got a good start on decorating outdoors. Luckily he hasn’t brought up putting anything on the roof this year. I want no broken bones or injuries for the Holidays! My tree has the required hundreds of white lights on it, waiting for me to decorate it.

As it’s Saturday the kids are going to have to pick what we want to do, since there won’t be time to do it all. We always have a bonfire Thanksgiving weekend, complete with marshmallows, chocolate bars and graham crackers. The only problem is our night time temps. have really taken a nose dive. It’s cold-to-the-bone out there!

We also wanted to hit a movie, make a gingerbread house, and Tayler and I were going to do a mani/pedi afternoon, ending with some scrap booking. Something is going to have to give, since there are only so many hours in a day, and their Dad stole Sunday from me! (Yes that was catty and petty)

Pulling Riley away from his X-box 360 has been difficult, so I’m probably going to try and entice him with what he would like to do. Besides playing those damn video games.

I’m finally getting into the Holiday spirit and I know it’s because we didn’t have to be anywhere. One more Festival of the Trees in Chandler, on a Friday night not Saturday like I had originally thought, and the only “have-tos” will be Christmas related!

I’ll have some time to catch up on viewing my Flickr Friends newest creations and some blog reading.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving weekend!

With Love,

3T
