Season Tree
I was looking through a decorating magazine and got the idea to keep a Christmas tree up all year and decorate it for each season.
We had a fall tree with leaves on it.
We had a Thanksgiving tree with little turkeys on it.
Here is a picture of our tree now with snowman on it...
Brett does not like this idea at all,but I told him it beats storing the Christmas tree. I will post a picture of each of the decorated tress, and you can let me know what you think.
Shoes
Look at these great new Croc like shoes I found at Wal-mart for $7.00.
They are pink and black. My favorite colors !

Happy New Year!
Boy, it has been so long since I have posted! It has been so cold out I have just wanted to stay inside and hibernate.
We had a very nice holiday.
New Year's eve was very uneventful. This was the first year Maxwell made it until Midnight. We had a camp out in the living room with pizza, ice cream and many hours of the Twilight Zone reruns .
2009 has brought many good things so far...

2009 has brought many good things so far...
- I started Weight Watchers and have lost over 13 pounds so far in 2009.
- We are taking Maple and Sittler to dog training classes and they were not the worst dogs in the class last week, once a very active German Shepherd joined the class.
- Maxwell started taking karate classes.
- Maxwell is hoping to start his drawing classes again. His very favorite thing again.
- Brett is finally getting his staffing issues at his hotel straightened out.
- Maxwell is finally sleeping in his own room !
- We are all happy and healthy !!!

Funny Pre-Christmas Shopping Story
I had to run into Wal-mart after work to get my exchange gift for the office Christmas party tomorrow.
I think that Wal-mart may just be hell on earth. There is not one thing I like about it. I only go there because it is basically right across from the street from my house, and it's my only option, unless I want to drive 12 miles to gp to Target.
Wal-mart was just NOT the place to be, three days before Christmas! The checkout lines were a mile long.
I finally found a reasonably short line at one of the self check-outs.
The lady in front of me was having a terrible time trying to get her wrapping paper to scan.
The Wal-mart worker was just standing up in her front guard booth just watching this poor lady, without offering any help.
Finally, the lady picks up the wrapping paper roll and starts to hit the self checkout machine with it. It was so funny.
The Wal-mart clerk comes running over and says "It's not going to make it work by hitting it." The lady replies... "Maybe not, but it sure made me feel better!"
I loved her answer.
Awww..... The joys of Christmas shopping at the friendliest place on earth... Wal-mart!

Friends
Sometimes I get sad because we don't have a large family to spend time with over the holidays. But, then I realize how lucky we are to have such great friends that are like family to us.
Maxwell may not have cousins, but he is lucky to have Alyssa, Molly and Mason as family friends. Those precious childhood memories are being created with them, just like I did with their mommies.
