After a long, long week, it's finally the weekend! Last night we had a great time with our friends Ben and Rebekah. They came over for dessert and games, and general holiday festivities. Also, we wanted to show off our tree :) I even showed Rebekah how to cast on for knitting (since she only crochets) so we had fun with that while the guys played some video games. Then we had spiced cider and played card games til way past my bed time. Sounds pretty lame, I know, but after a week of playing hide n' seek and go fish, adult interaction was desperately needed.
I've got another exciting day planned today: knit. crochet. repeat. If only it were that simple....We have a Christmas party to go to tonight, so I'm making my mom's most excellent cheese ball recipe; it's going to be so hard not to dig into it before this evening. We also have to come up with two $2 white elephant gifts. Looks like we'll be making a trip to our friendly neighborhood goodwill store.
Tomorrow we are going to "A Dickens of a Christmas" in a nearby town after church. There will be costumed Dickens characters running around (even the on-duty cops will be in costume!) and Victorian goodies to eat. (What is plum pudding?) Candlelight caroling begins at 5 pm.
Tomorrow night we're going to our church's children's Christmas musical. You gotta love watching little kids dance around on stage while forgetting their lines.....
Yep, Christmas is definitely upon us.

Question for you. How do you post pictures within your blog? I've been trying to do that for months and can't seem to figure it out! Please let me know! Thanks!
So cute! I hope you have a great time!
Ali,
When you and Dave come for Christmas we will look forward to a number of Mom's most excellent cheese balls. This is truly the most excellent gift of all:-)
Dad
