So as you can tell, my tree is up. Mark had a game in Okoboji and Robyn decided not to go or take the boys so I stayed home. Mark has been hinting about putting up the tree and even cleared a spot in the living room. So while he was gone, I put up the tree and even decorated it. This will be new since we didn't put one up last year so Gracie nor Izzy have been exposed to a Christmas tree. They both were sniffing around the tree and batting at the ornaments but both have been content in sleeping on the tree skirt under the tree. Now I just have to wrap presents to put them under the tree, or maybe not since the kitties have adopted that as their new getaway spot. We'll have to wait and see.

We are going to go to Okoboji for Thanksgiving. We are just heading up for the day so it will be fun to see the boys. They are having Griffin's 2nd Birthday party on Sunday and Mark and I won't be able to make it. Good thing I got his present...I just hope I remember to take it with on Thursday.

Anyone braving the crowds and hitting the Black Friday sales? I have never done it and have always wanted to. Those Cricut cartridges at Walmart for $30 might make me try it. I don't think there will be a big run at our Walmart in Atlantic so maybe I can go down at 8am. Wait and see, I guess.

Well, Happy Thanksgiving and I am thankful for all of you. You make my life meaningful!!! Thank you all!!!
