Lucy and Jake picked up a Christmas tree on Friday after (Lucy's) dance class. We decorated it today. There are wreaths on the doors, and electric candles in the windows. As I type, Pandora is playing some horrible "Christmas tunes" station, which is not yet completely unbearable.
We are still eating Turkey. Jake has made Turkey Tetrazzini, Turkey Tacos, and Turkey Gumbo. Tonight, it's still more turkey-in-gravy-over-cornbread-stuffing. I'm not complaining (really) but wow, we really cooked a bit much on Thanksgiving!
We've been doing a bit of crafting. We also went to Western Ave Studios to witness (and purchase) some crafting & arting. Then we went to Michaels' so as to stock up our own (massive) supplies of Christmas craftiness. It's exciting times 'round here.
Photos to follow...having some camera snafus at the moment, but we'll get it eventually.
Speaking of my inability to properly operate a camera, Jake has just made the most magnificent cocktails ever. Primary ingredient: home-infused local cranberry vodka. Amazing. But then he also made "not-so-simple-syrup" (simple syrup with some cinnamon) which is also featured. Really, you must have one.
Cheers!
Here's our elf.
