Where Are You Christmas?

So the Christmas tree is still sitting in the living room with its bright colorful lights and bare limbs. We haven't even covered the ugly bottom up with a tree skirt. The black cat has taken to sleeping under it. *sigh*

When my dad was here this weekend he asked me about the holiday plates. I can't believe it's December 14th and I haven't gotten the snowman plates down yet! Can you say, "Bah hum bug!" We have used holiday plates from Thanksgiving to Spring every year we have been in Nashville! So this week I resolve to:

1. get the holiday dinnerware out and washed;
2. get the tree decorated;
3. finish stocking stuffer shopping; and
4. pick up the final parts of the big family gift(s).

Meanwhile, in family news, this is finals week. Kyle has his exhibition today and Ryann has four finals she needs to take. I am so happy that both of my kids were able to find non-traditional education systems since neither of them are traditional students.

¡Hasta pronto, mis amigos!
