November

Is it really November 19 already? I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving, and then only a little over a month until Christmas! I've been bugging Alan to get the Christmas decorations out since we'll be gone for 2 weeks in December, but that hasn't worked yet. I did set up my Nativity set on our mantle, though! And this weekend we're putting up the tree. I can't wait to get into our own home so we'll have more room for it. I've already wrapped all of the presents that I've purchased, ordered the two presents that need to be ordered, and plan on shopping for the rest (or at least most of the rest) this weekend. I just LOVE Christmas time and I love getting everything done early!!

We took Christmas pictures when we went to Texarkana last weekend, but I do not look good in them. Too bad you can't crop me out! Alan and the pups look precious, though! So I guess we'll either have to take them again or just not send them out this year.

Well, I'll close with a picture of the finished cabinet (minus the doors that haven't been built yet.) Painted one too many coats on the left drawer, but you can't tell near as much when you're actually looking at it.
