I can't believe it's December, we have had a lot of snow come down so far this weekend. I guess thats what we get for no snow in November. I started christmas shopping really late this year and i can say i really don't like it! I prefer to be done by December 1st. The basement is coming along well we are done painting and have just a few touch ups to do. I just love the colors my sister has pick out for us its purple and a gray Our carpet is getting made this weekend and would think it should be shipped by next week some time. Dinner out tomorrow with Duff's boss and Duff's 33rd birthday is on Tuesday. I have to make 10 dozen cookies for a cookie exchange at a friends house on the 18th. My holidays can't come sooner ...... a nice 2 week break. Ryley is busy making christmas decorations for everyone they are going to be so cute he has done such a nice job on them, he even wants to make one for gramma Lyn's cat!
