Willow and Pottery? How about no?

Our nine year wedding anniversary is November 23rd and we are celebrating early and going out to dinner on the 22nd all by ourselves. I am very excited to spend an hour or two alone with my hubby.

Did you know that the traditional nine year anniversary gift is willow and/or pottery? You didn't? Yeah, me neither. I'm bucking the system. Today I bought an Xbox360 Bundle with Kinect their new motion video game system. I am going to give it to Jer tonight because I can't keep secrets from him. I'm busting with anticipation and I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees it.

Oh, and now Santa has to buy Kinectimals for Ava.

Baby it's cold outside

- Is it wrong that I want snowshoes for Christmas?
- I'm not actually going to ask for them because if I do we won't get enough snow for me to use them.
- Plus, my husband would need some too or else I'd have to go alone and that's no fun
- My eyes opened at 5:00am this morning.
- First thing I did was look outside to see if it had snowed, it hadn't
- Beef stew and beer bread for dinner tonight!
- I need to buy paint for my living room, I'm itching to complete another room after helping Stacey tear apart her kitchen the other day
- I'm getting very excited for the holidays
- I have a very good start on my Christmas shopping
- My children are obsessed with Mario and Luigi and all of the other characters from Super Mario Bros
- I found Luigi and Toad costumes at Meijer for $2 and they pretty much live in them when we're at home
- We decided not to give the girls Ds's at this time, too much money
- After seeing Anne's post about Hobby Lobby I am jonesing to go and buy Christmas garlands.
