Ketchup? No Catch Up!

We've been pretty busy around here the past few weeks.

We decorated the house for Christmas. I love getting the Christmas tree up. Griffin helped me place the ornaments this year. I loved that. I remember a couple of years ago I was afraid he would break my "precious" ornaments. I guess this year I just realize ... it's all about him and he was very good about being careful when I asked him to.

We also put the lights up outside. Mike enjoys doing that each year. We've put the village on the mantle, the nativity on the table as you walk in the door and our stockings are hanging from Grandma Harrison's antique sewing machine. So our halls are all decked out for Christmas.

Griffin has been a very good boy so he should expect some special surprises under the Christmas tree this year.

He was invited to a Christmas party last night with some friends he's know since he was born. It was fun catching up with friends we haven't seen in awhile. Since he's in preschool and his friends are in kindergarten, it's hard for us all to get together like we used to. The highlight of his evening was the gift exchange. He received a set of firetruck Lego's. We put it together as soon as we got home.

I had to go to the doctor today. It was just time for my annual exam. After that I ran by Toys 'R Us and picked up a really cool something for the Gman. Then I went by Dollar Tree looking for a couple of things.

Tonight is Griffin's Christmas program at school. I'm looking forward to that. I so enjoy seeing him and his classmates sing.

Though nothing "exciting" has happened we are enjoying our every day life ...
