We have been very busy during the past month that we have been home. D has been tirelessly working on fencing in about 3/4 of an acre so the dog can be left off the chain without terrorizing the neighborhood, which unfortunately she did escape twice. One of those times she came back pretty tore up and bloody, but I haven't heard from the neighbors that they are down a little yorkie or a llama so I assume she lost the battle with the barb wire fence.
We hosted Thanksgiving at our house and it was great to finally have a house and driveway to easily accommodate everyone and their cars! Our street started decorating for Christmas on Thanksgiving! Usually we decorate the day after Thanksgiving and use to always be the first on our block. We weren't able to get some of our stuff up until Dec. 3, and I really felt like the scrooge on the block. We still do not have roof lights up, but that will probably wait until next year. We do have the yard decor up and at least we are no longer the dark house at night. However, the inside is completely decorated and our elf on the shelf "Cookie" is back and we are having all kinds of fun with her. We rotate nights on who thinks of what Cookie is doing and in the morning the rest of the family sees what she was up to all night. It is a lot of fun.
I usually love to make something for friends and family at Christmas, but because of the move and trip I wasn't able to. Christmas gift making usually starts in September in our house. I have had to shop for people in stores for already made items and for some reason that seems so much harder. We are hosting Christmas Brunch and I can't wait to see everyone and spend time with family!
