'Tis The Season To Do Christmas-y Things
That's what this week has been about. Everything Christmas-y. All the time. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Christmas. But now that we have a nearly 2-1/2 year old, it seems to be turned up a notch.
We have been watching tons of classic Christmas cartoons, classic Christmas musicals/black and white films, attending Christmas parties, sending Christmas cards, baking Christmas cookies, wrapping Christmas presents, mailing Christmas presents, listening to Christmas music, putting up Christmas decorations, reading Christmas books, driving around neighborhoods looking at Christmas lights, etc. I'm not complaining here - I just wanted to see it all laid out in a list all nice and purdy and see how many times I could correctly spell the word Christmas.
I am currently eating a sugar-filled corner of a gingerbread house that Bennett helped us decorate at our 2nd annual gingerbread house decorating party. Now that's what Christmas is all about! Even Becky agreed. Lots of good peeps, lots of sugar coated goodness and lots of good drinks. I think this tradition is a keeper!
It was a crazy mad house of loud noise and icing and toys and candy flying everywhere for a couple hours - but it was so much fun and totally worth it. Cuz you get to EAT your sugary creation afterwards!! yeah!!
What Christmas-y things are you up to?

what?
I haven't blogged since Thanksgiving?? Whew!
I guess after spending all day on the computer, the last thing I want to do is sit at the laptop at 9pm and blog. Sorry. I'm a bad blogger.
Tonight we had an awesome 2nd Annual Gingerbread House Decorating Party with the Hardans and new additions - Greysen, Andrew and Bah Humbug Becky. Will write more on that later.
For now, our Christmas tree...
