It's sad I haven't updated since Oct 1st....

...& now it's almost Christmas!

I always have such good intentions...

Anyhow, we're decorated and ready to go.  It's been a little crazy; doing way more shopping than I'm use to.  

Junior has finally done it to his knee.  I have put off surgery as long as possible I'm afraid, I'm trying to get him scheduled for January.  

 My tree :)  My nephew decorated it, so all the decorations are kinda centrally located.  

 a picture my mom got me for Christmas.  I'm not sure where I'm going to hang it yet, but I'm going to have it up year round. 

 My outside tree :) 

 The baby has been coming to visit us.  He's gotten so much bigger since this picture! 

 My village. I was so excited to find the horse and sleigh yesterday at the dollar store! 

My manger :) 

I made home-made cranberry sauce for t


he first time this Thanksgiving.  Tart, but I loved it!
