"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!"

So, I have been a little lax in my blogging. (Not that it matters but to a handful of people! lol) Things have been crazy around here. All of us have been sick. We went through Halloween, my birthday, Jeremy's mom's birthday, and Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving, we did our usual eat here first, then go to Athens Thursday night. Christie, Audrey, and I went Black Friday shopping (mine and Audrey's first time!). It was alright. I'm not much of a shopper. Thinking next year, I may do more online shopping. We did a bit on eBay this year. Got one disappointment yesterday when the 42" Vizio we bought got here and the screen was busted. Trying to get a hold of the people we bought it from to see about having it replaced or refunded or something.

Jeremy, Audrey, and I went shopping in Huntsville Tuesday, since it was too wet for Jeremy to work. We finished the kids Christmas, except I still have to get an ornament for Ty (they were out of the one we wanted, but they have the display on hold for us in case we can't find it elsewhere), and I have to get stocking stuffers. Done with our shopping for everyone else, too, except for Chris (Jeremy is taking care of that), Christie, and Dirty Santa.

...ok, so I started that on Dec 3. Now lets see if I can finish it! :)

For starters, the people we bought the tv from are going to let us send it back and refund our money. And Jeremy found another one yesterday. Hoping this story has a happier ending. :)

I have pretty much all of my decorations up! Just lacking a few sit abouts, that it doesn't really matter if they get put out or not. Finished making Audrey's stocking this afternoon (you know with kids, you only get to work in spurts!) Ready to start wrapping presents now!

For what it's worth, I had to go to the ENT yesterday. Get to go have a CT scan done and blood work to check for allergies, then a scope run up my nose. That part doesn't sound like fun. :( My thyroid has also decided to go crazy again, so back on the good ol' PTU. Hoping to feel a LOT better for all our Christmas stuff (which starts tomorrow!!!) Also, Zackary has the flu....hoping the boys didn't catch it from him at church Wednesday night.....

One last thing...for anyone who's interested, a slideshow of our family pictures is up on YouTube. Feel free to take a look. Amanda did a great job! If you are thinking about having pictures made, give her a call! :)
