Happy 1st Caturday in December!!!

I've been up since 2 a.m. for some stupid reason!  At about 3 a.m. I gave up trying to go back to sleep and got up, made coffee and started working a bit.  If I can get all my catch-up work done before anyone else gets up it will be like a REAL weekend!  :)

Today is the 1st day of the advent calendars!!!  Do any of you do these?  When I was little we did them occasionally, mainly the chocolate candy variety.  I've done them with my kiddos for as long as I can remember, but we always do some sort of toy variety, Playmobil, Polly Pocket, etc... Last year I bought goodies from the dollar store and wrapped each individually (NUTSO!!).  This year we are doing Lego advent for little man and girly type stuff for girl child.  I got smart this year and bought manila envelopes  though!  So, she's got a basket of 24 manila envelopes to open lol.  BORING.  I'll post pics of their loot later. ;)  I'm hoping to get in a run today if I'm not too wiped out by my early wakeup.

Here's your Caturday fix!

I'm drinking coffee out of my Tard mug as we speak!

he really likes wood chips....

Turkey Day Recap

Okay!  I'm finally ready to post about turkey day.  :)  It was really a fabulous day.  We had dinner at our house and invited our neighbors over.  We had amazing food.  Seriously awesome food.  Hubby made a beautiful turkey that was perfectly moist.

I made 2 pies, and burnt both of them....woops, and our neighbor brought a cheesecake that melted on the counter. ;)  They all tasted good though!  If we're being honest, by the time we got to the dessert we had all imbibed a few glasses of wine and did not care about the state of the desserts.  After dinner was cleared from the table we decided to play a game.  We found this one in our closet:

It was seriously hilarious!!  I have no idea where we got this game, but I haven't laughed that hard in a while.  I lost all my body parts except my head and still managed to win the game!  And as it turns out the best way to kick open a door is NOT utilizing the donkey kick method.

As tradition dictates we put up the Christmas tree the following day.  When we were hanging the ornaments I said to hubby "Didn't we just do this?!?!"  This year really flew by!

My Dad made this ornament for us :)

This is Milo's first Christmas so he basically thinks we installed a giant kitty toy for him.  This morning hubby found him asleep on the branches midway up the tree.

do not see me.

I hope your Thanksgiving was equally as amazing!  :)
