its that time of year again

the holidays have arrived....I'm not sure where the time went this year but I'm glad it is almost over...hasn't exactly been the best year. So far this holiday season we celebrated Thanksgiving with the Cosentino family. I cooked and we had a nice quiet night. A lot has changed since last thanksgiving but we still have a lot to be thankful for. This time next year will also we a lot different. thanksgiving weekend we also went and got out tree. It is not has big as years past but looks great none the less...well until jill knocked it over monday night and broke some of my favorite ornaments. :( I'm getting over it. This upcoming weekend St. Nick comes and will bring some goodies. The following weekend is my work christmas party and Dave and I have a tentative plan to go downtown for my birthday. the 15th we'll spend out to dinner with mom's family for the big 26. That weekend will most likely be celebrated by making cookies and ginger bread houses (out of short bread..ginger bread is kinda gross). then the week of holiday chaos will begin and just like that it will all be over again. Im off the last week of the year and greatly looking forward to it. Hoping everyone takes some real time to celebrate with family the real reason for the season.
