Can it really be December already? Madelyn asked me this morning how many days until Christmas, and I couldn't believe it when I told her 23. That is crazy!
Thanksgiving at the Johnsons was fun. We had 20 people in our house. If you've ever been to my house you know how small it is. SMALL. 12 kids and 8 adults. We had a great time, but it was pretty cozy. We ate dinner, I made crafts with the kids, and did a dice game for the adults. It is fun to play that with the grown ups. This year's favorite prizes were a bottle of wine and a pair of "good" work gloves. You never know what it will be. One year it was pot holders.
I did my annual Black Friday extravaganza with my great friend Siobain. Up at 3:00 AM to leave at 4:00 AM to shop until we drop. And we did. We left Floodwood at 4 AM and weren't back until after supper. I am almost finished shopping though. I just have to pick up something for Kennedi. She is hard to buy for. She really wants babies, but is a little embarrassed to admit it. Oh well, if that's what she wants....
This week is Lauren's last week before the play she is in for the Hibbing area. Little Town of Christmas. The performances are Friday and Saturday. It isn't like our County Seat Theater in Cloquet, but it is a play and it is a good experience.
As for me, I've come down with a nasty cold. Of course. Just in time for the busy time at the Lounge and at home. But I don't have time for that, so I just stocked up on cold meds, and it'll work out.
I hope all of you are getting ready for Christmas and enjoying it! I have to try to keep up on the Wii Fit and the eliptical so that all the cookies I eat don't go right to my a**.
Happy day!
