Christmas Tree

This past weekend we were in Sacramento visiting my sister and brother and their families. It was my nephews birthday. The girls and I had a great visit. We were up late and O didn't have a nap other than an hour in the car. We got home on Sunday tired. CK fell asleep about 10 minutes before getting home.

When CK woke up (about 7:30pm) the first thing she said was "Can we put up the Christmas Tree now?" I was tired, but thought okay. We'll put it together and finish it tomorrow. So...we did. We put the tree together, rearranged the furniture. I put the lights on the tree on Monday afternoon. I must say, I didn't want to put it together on Sunday night, but I'm glad I did. NOW, I'm really in the Christmas spirit.

Thanksgiving

We had a nice Thanksgiving. We went to C's parents house. C, his sister and I made dinner. It was very yummy! D did a WONDERFUL job on the turkey. We enjoyed our leftovers for a week!

While the turkey was cooking D washed her car. The girls, of course, wanted to help. They had a great time. Auntie is a great teacher. CK now knows how to wax a car. While CK was waxing the car O was making a rock cake. We had a nice visit and a very delicious dinner.

New Dishwasher makes EVERYONE happy.

I know, I haven't put anything new up in a while. It's not that nothing has happened......I've just been really busy. My photography business is taking off and with C's schedule, Thanksgiving and now Christmas coming. I don't have to explain, I'm sure.

Our dishwasher, which was about 15 years old, decided it had enough. Fine with us. That thing was SO loud. We purchased a new one and when it was installed I told the guy we would keep the box. Oh, my gosh! That was the best thing. The girls just love that box. I made two windows and a door and they play in it all day. As for our new dishwasher.....it's SO nice. You can hardly hear it. We just LOVE it.

Now the box house is starting to get in the way. Our house is not big enough for this thing. I don't know how I'm going to get the girls to let it go. Too bad it's raining now, I would just put it outside.
