Thanksgiving was good

Man I stink at this blogging thing lately.  Long time, no write.  I have a to-do list right now that is about 23 pages long and growing longer by the second.  Eventually I will catch up on all the happenings around here.  Okay, probably not, but I'll give it a good try.  

Thanksgiving was good.  Food was good. Pie was good.  Shopping was good.  

These kiddos of mine tried like crazy to get the Christmas tree up before Thanksgiving.  Not happening here. Lets enjoy the bird and stuffing then we can bring on the candy canes and stockings.  

Now that Thanksgiving is over the tree is up

^^pretend grif's eyes are open in the pic. 

 It will save me the hassle of trying to load another pic on here. 

Also look at the top of the tree.  See the white square there?  Apparently I tossed the tree topper last time I took the tree down because it was broken (I have a very vague recollection of that happening).  I figured when the time came I could just go buy a new one, well now that it's here I haven't had time to get one (remember the list of to-do's that's 23 25 pages long now?).

Dilon decided to solve the problem by grabbing a tissue, drawing a star on it, and then slapping it on the top of the tree. Works for me, besides the fact that he got permanent marker on my garbage can lid as he was drawing it. Thank heavens for magic erasers.
