Day 12 thru 14 - I took the pictures... - 12.06.2009

It's not that I haven't TAKEN pictures every day... it's just that I haven't necessarily POSTED them every day... So that's not really a fail is it? :)

Friday, December 4, 2009 - At the brewery... the snow settled on our now wintery planters.



Saturday, December 5, 2009 - Spent the majority of the day Christmas shopping with Nate. I found a chair I really liked (fabric below) for my living room but they were out of stock and the sale price ended yesterday. Oh well, it wouldn't have fit in the car anyway!



Sunday, December 6, 2009 - Spent a great deal of this morning fighting with my Christmas tree... which was a bit deformed and far too tall for my house! BUT, after snipping, sawing, one pair of broken scissors and wrapping the whole darn thing in lights, it doesn't look half bad. Even Barley had to suffer through decorating with us... :)

(I'll post a picture of the tree once I wrangle all of the ornaments on it.)



OH... When Nate broke my scissors half-way through reshaping the tree, I had to run to the hardware store to grab new snippers... (I went in my pajamas.) Apparently this squirrel is NOT in the Christmas spirit (or he doesn't like polka-dot pjs)... he was shrieking at me from the top of the power pole in front of my house!

(Now that I look in the daylight, I think HE might be what was "in" my ceiling the other night. There are little footprints all over the roof above my living room. I bet he's what I heard, the little critter!)
