Finally Decorated

We got the tree decorated. The other boxes of decorations are sitting and waiting for someone to get festive enough to put them up. I am thinking they might be waiting about a year before they see the light of the outside world. The tree is about all we could muster. Santa might make his way out just because I need something to wish to and he is my best bet right now.

This weekend we are going to my first nephews birthday party. Eli is turning 4 and I am sure he is beyond excited. It will be a fun time with family, it is good to get out of the house for a while and celebrate.

I think I will wrap gifts this weekend too and get some other stuff done. We only have a couple more gift to get this year, I must say I am proud of myself for getting most of the shopping done early a little at a time. I hate feeling overwhelmed with buying right before the holiday, it is not good on the nerves or the checkbook.

Hope everyone is going to have a warm and happy weekend. It is too cold here and I am hoping for a little snow to warm it up. I know that sounds crazy to some of you but when you are at -2 degrees, snow at 25 degrees is almost tropical. The trees by the river this moring looked like they had been glittered. I have never seen anything like it, I wish I had a camera that could capture it to show you, but you will just have to trust me.
