The start of our Holiday season!



Tonight we are going to Wells Fargo Arena to see theTrans Siberian Orchestra. We have talked about going for a couple of years but never did and this year I saw a presale online back in September and snagged three good seats and kept it a secret until Thanksgiving.

I broke the news last weekend, but Fred quessed right when I said to them both "Guess what we're going to do next Saturday night?" Fred said "Trans Siberian Orchestra" and I gave him a funny look and replied "Yea...." and he said "Really?, I guessed right?"....yep....stinker...

Today, I'm getting the boxes ready to send out Monday to Fred's mom and stepdad and my dad and stepmom. Once those are in the mail and gone, I'm looking pretty good regarding Christmas. Just a couple more things to run out and get and then I can concentrate on getting the rest of the gifts wrapped. Connor helped me wrap gifts the other night and that helped. The home decorating is done, we even were able to get some outdoor illumination...lol....installed before the snow came.

Caveat....DON'T buy the crystallized rope lights at Walmart. I've now gone through two boxes of them...a section of the rope light keeps going out and I keep returning them back to the store....I give up, so one of our porch columns that I wrapped in rope lights is missing a section and it too damn cold to redo it AGAIN.

Have a great weekend!
