Christmas Tree

Yippee!!!! We got a Christmas tree this evening. We put it into the tree stand for tonight and will probably try to decorate it later this week, ummmm like Friday.

Christmas Shopping

Today my husband and I were both out of the office, so we finally made it out to some stores to officially start some Christmas shopping! Did manage to pick up an item for each of my nephews. Other than that we were not very successful today at getting much accomplished. Oh well . . . about twenty four days left to finish!

Movie Time

Today we hit the movies to see Four Christmases. It was really funny and had me rolling with laughter through out the movie. Now we are back home as the rain has started and we await to see if any snow flurries really do come down tonight.

Iron Bowl 2008

Well, I expected Alabama to beat Auburn this year. But, I was thinking we would at least score rather than the game ending with 36-0. It is going to be hard to listen to all these Alabama fans. Lets see if they can get 6 in a row.

Day After Thanksgiving

Today is the day for our Thanksgiving meal. Michael did most of the cooking. Portia and I helped with the cleaning. Elisabeth helped with getting everything ready to serve and Gene carved the turkey. My dad, Mike, can over to eat with us too. It was also his first time to see our house. All the food was wonderful and of course I ate too much! Later on, after the kitchen was back in order, we watched 3:10 to Yuma. It's only a little after 8pm and I think I am ready for bed already.

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! Today we are getting the house all ready for Gene, Portia and Elisabeth's visit with us. This will be Gene and Portia's first time to see the house. We are planning just a ham and some vegetables for tonight and will do the "big" Thanksgiving lunch for Friday.

Update on Neighborhood

When we attended the neighborhood meeting we signed up for email notifications of suspicious activity in our neighborhood from a home owner within the subdivision. We got an email Saturday that another home in the area had been broken into on Friday during the day - if I understand correctly this is now a total of three homes hit in the area of our subdivision. With the holidays nearing and the current state of the economy I am afraid we are going to get many more of these notifications.
