Christmas madness & so much more...........

Christmas madness & so much more...........



Can you believe that Christmas is right around the corner.....I mean it's like the Turkey hasn't even digested in your tummy and the next thing you know it's basically Christmas!


I still have so many things to post about and now I'm in the mad dash thick of Christmas madness! My computer is down and the computer guy whom I call my hubby has been too busy to fix it. Isn't that the way it goes....I'm hoping it will get done sooner rather than later as I need to download photos and blog about them and get address' for Christmas cards and so much more....You don't realise how much you rely on your computer until it's not working....


We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We celebrated at my sister's house this year. Just the main family (Mom, Dad, Erin, Todd, Bryce, Taryn, Jeremy, Me, Ella, Preston and Tom ~ Tom works with my brother-in-law Todd at Thurston Middle School in Laguna Beach) Not sure what Tom thought of the family we are quite the bunch when you get us all together.

My Mom, Erin, and I cooked while the guys were supposed to keep an eye on the kids but rather watched some football and relaxed. Us women were busy workers and drinking the wine! My Mom actually helped toss back a couple of glasses of wine with my sister and I. This here is a rarity as she's always said: I can't drink wine it makes me sick....but she's been getting out lately with Dad and exploring a little and drinking a few glasses of wine. Can you believe though not one single photo was taken! I had the camera and everything but in the end not a single one was clicked and saved to memory.... (I can hear my kids now years down the road giving me a hard time as to not taking photo's when they were younger...)giggle


I am lucky though I've gotten all of my shopping done. Yeah, that's right I'm feeling good about things....and it's even wrapped and under the tree.... Yes, we got our tree last weekend ( I have photo's and this brought back some childhood memories working the tree lots) and it's in the house but has no lights or decorations on it.... I'm hoping this will happen tonight.... **giggles**

But I'm still trying to get to see Santa the Big HO, HO man as he's called in the Wight family house hold. Then what am I going to do for cards and then I'm trying to make things as gifts, and the baking, and Oh, where does the time go...... I do LOVE Christmas though it's a jolly bright time of year.

I had to go get a prom dress if you will. The hubby's Christmas party is formal this year. The men need to wear tuxedos and so the ladies need to wear a fancy formal gown so basically I had to get a prom dress. Now this was a little of a freak out for me since I found out and had only 5 days to find a dress and all of the accessories to go with....talk about panic mode...*giggles* In the end everything worked out fine. I think I did a really good job at the last minute and to boot I found the dress in less than an hour and at the first place I look. Girls you know this NEVER happens. I even got the front parking spot next to the door and had 1 1/2 hours to shop before I had to pick up the kiddos from school. What luck! **giggles**

I better go and I promise photo's as soon as the ol' computer is up and running....

First of all, I think I need to move back to the OC so that we can start our own Christmas Tree Lot together, Tami. I have all my shopping done too, but I can't put anything under the tree with a 2 year old in the house. My cards are out, my movie is made, and now I sit and wait peacefully. I wish we could sell trees while we wait. Glad you had a great Thanksgiving!
