Only Rylee...

We were up around 7am this morning and Jo dropped Rylee off around 7:30am. She was a little better this morning and we watched Elmo on the computer, while Jo left. We had cereal for breakfast as you can see from today's photo. Beth and I took showers and then we headed to BJ's wholesale club. Rylee fell asleep in the car, so Beth stayed with her while I did the shopping. I was just checking out, when they came into the store. They went to look at the toys and I took the stuff to the car and came back in. Rylee loves going shopping and looking at all the stuff. So we did some more shopping and Rylee got to walk alot up and down the aisles. We did find a cotton candy machine on clearance and purchased it for the carnival we want to do this year. We had hot dogs for lunch and then came home. It was a nice day out, so we played in the driveway for about 45 minutes. We then came in and tried to take a nap. First Beth tired putting her mat in the tent and they were there for about 45 minutes, but no luck. So they came upstairs and Beth put her in the pack-n-play and after 20 minutes, you could here her calling for you and saying Ouch. So I went in there and she had her feet on the top of the pack-n-play and was singing. So it was a good bet she was not going to sleep. so we came in the living room and watched some TV and played. She ate lots of chicken, grapes, and cheese, before mommy J picked her up. She was not going home and through a fit, but we were used to that cause all the kids do it. We had a great day and she just makes us laugh and smile all day long.

Girl's day...

We were up at 7am and Jo dropped off Rylee at 7:40am this morning. Rylee was not a happy camper when Jo left and cried for a little while. I took my shower and Aunt Beth and Rylee were watching TV. Aunt Beth went to take her shower, so Rylee and I went downstairs. Kim dropped off Jojo and we all had breakfast together. We then went downstairs to play. The girls love playing in the tent and making soup. Around 11:45am, I hear this chant coming from the tent, We want lunch, We want lunch. This went on for a couple of minutes with all there of them chanting. Guess it was time to go fix lunch. So I fixed us all some form of ham and cheese with gold fish. Everyone was hungry and cleaned their plate. I had some cherry limeade mixed with my water and Rylee thought it was soda. She drank alot of it, but did eat all her lunch and more. So then it was time for naps. Rylee wanted to sleep in the big bed, so we tried it. She was like a wiggle worm and had her eyes closed , but could not go to sleep. So she moved to the little bed, the pack-n-play. She just sang and sang and was not going to sleep. Beth and Jojo went to take a nap and we finally got up. We played in the living room until 3:15pm. I put Barney on and Rylee put her head on my knee and went to sleep. Kim picked up Jojo around 4:30pm and Dawn came by around 5pm. Rylee was still sleeping, but woke up about 15 minutes later. They stayed and had pizza with us and Dawn was ready to go home around 7:30pm. Well Rylee was having no part of going home. Dawn said she was leaving and Rylee said good-bye. She finally decided to go home and we will see her again tomorrow, It was a great day having the girls.

Kyle's day...

We were up around 7:30am this morning and seeing Dr. Bill by 9am. I am having problems with my back that is effecting my left something fierce. After setting for a period of time, when I get up I can not put any weight on the left leg and have to hobble every where for about 5 minutes. So Dr. Bill did an adjustment and my have to go back tomorrow as it hurts worse then before I went in. After seeing Dr. Bill, we went to Target to see what after Christmas sales they had and only got a few bows. We then went to the AAA place and made reservation for a Disney cruise for my birthday. We then went to pick up Kyle. We stopped and picked up lunch at Popeye's Chicken. I used to go there often when I lived in KC and missed it. We came home and ate and then Kyle and I watched 3 movies. We saw Cowboys and Aliens, 30 minutes or less, and Super 8. Beth even made us vanilla cokes and popcorn. I took Kyle home around 5:30pm. We did our Christmas with Kim, Lynne, and Jojo tonight. It was a great day. We will have Rylee and Jojo tomorrow.

Kids Week...

We got up at 7am this morning. Maggie dropped off Payton around 7:30am. Payton was hoping we were going on another adventure today, but was alright with staying home. We had cereal for Breakfast and I took a shower. Kim called around 9am and asked if we could watch Jojo today. So she dropped her off around 10:30am. We wanted to go to Echo Hills and pick up a few things. We told the kids that since they wanted an adventure today, we were going to have fish for lunch. They both hated that idea and wanted something different. So we said OK, we would have hot spicy tadpoles and slimy black beans. That was so NOT what they were after. So we told them, if they were good and did not act silly or yell, scream, and listened to what we said, we would go to McDonald's. Well that was more what they were after. So off we go. We picked up the things we needed and left. The kids were really good, so to McDonald's it was for lunch. After lunch we came home and the kids played awhile. Payton went done for a nap around 2pm. Jojo played until Kim came to pick her up around 3:30pm. DJ got here around 4:45pm and Payton was still sleeping. Payton finally got up around 5pm and they left. We had dinner and I am watching some TV and Beth is paying bills. We are getting Kyle tomorrow and are going to watch some movies downstairs.

Day after Christmas...

Beth was up way before me this morning. She had cookies and coffee, so I was off the hook for fixing breakfast. She took the first shower, so that I could clean the shower while I took my shower. Next the bathroom got a good cleaning. I then washed the towels. We then left to go do some errands and shopping. We fist went to the bank as Beth opened a saving account, so we could put money in it every month to pay the school tax. We used to use the money from the sale of the Eagles ticket, but we will not have them this year. We then went to Chick-Fil-A as I had coupons for free sandwiches. You could tell by the traffic out that everyone was out shopping. We then hit AC Moore to see what deals they had. We then went to Bed Bath and beyond. I had a gift card from my mom and wanted to get a Panini press and I had a coupon. We then headed to see Dr. Bill, but found the office floor was flooded and all appointments were cancelled. So we went to Michael's as I also had a girt card there. I need to buy some repositioning adhesive and need additional coupons from friends if they are not using them. Beth went Lowe's as she had gift cards, but could not find anything she wanted to use her gift card for. So we came home and I watched college football til it was time to make supper, which was heating up leftovers. So we are now getting ready to watch the last MNF game for the season. We have Payton tomorrow, so it should be a fun day.

Merry Christmas to all...

Beth was up and at church by 8am this morning. I got up around 8:30 and took a shower. I made cinnamon rolls for breakfast and they were ready around 9:30am. We left and went over to DJ and Maggie's house around 10:30am to have Christmas with the boys. They got lots of nice stuff from Santa and they enjoyed our gifts. We were back home and I had my ham on by noon. We opened our gifts to each other and those from my mom. I then finished making everything for dinner and we ate around 3pm. Everything was great and we will have leftovers for a few days. It was a great day and and I got a lot of nice stuff. So Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

1/2 day with Rylee..

We did not get out of bed until 9am this morning. We had breakfast and I took a shower. I then went over and visited with DJ and Payton. They were making cookies for Santa. I left there around 11:45am to come home and get Beth. We headed out to go pick up Rylee from daycare. She was so happy to see us and it was jammie day at daycare and she had on her gingerbread jammies. We stopped by the bank and then came home. She got changed and I asked her if she wanted to go shopping or stay home. I asked the same question different ways and the answer was still the same - stay home and play. So I started the laundry and we went downstairs and played. She wanted to see the snowman inflated and wanted to touch it. So we went outside for a while to see all the things in the yard. Jo stopped by with dinner around 5:30pm. Dawn was sick and stayed home. Since Rylee did not have a nap today, Jo put her in her jammies for the ride home. After they left, I went to Target, GNC, and CVS. We needed to stock pile vitamins. The crowds were not too bad and I sure did not want to be out tomorrow. We are headed out around 3pm tomorrow to go to Beth's brother, Jeff, house for a visit and then on to Jo's parents house. And then home to wait for Santa to come and open presents.

Big Mistake...

We got up around 8:30am this morning. I took a shower and began baking the left over sugar cookie dough. Beth had breakfast and took her shower. She was having lunch with Gayle and Angie and left around 11:30am. I finished the cookies and went to the grocery store. What a big mistake that was. Good thing I only needed a few things and could get the heck out of there. I came home and had some lunch. Beth was home around 1:30pm. We went to the outlet mall as I need a new billfold and found one I liked. We then went to Best Buy and Staples as Beth was looking for a cable for the video recorder. We came home and I fixed dinner and we are watching the last Thursday night football for this season. We are not planning on doing alot tomorrow as we are picking up Rylee from daycare at 1pm. Dawn and Jo have tomorrow off and need to do some stuff, so we get the baby for the afternoon. Here is one of Rylees's Christmas pictures. What a cutie.

Payton's concert...

We got up around 7:30am this morning and headed to Payton's school around 8:45am. Today was his day to have his Christmas concert and her was excited. The kids all had reindeer antlers on and say about 7 songs. We all had cookies and juice afterwards. He did really well and had a great time. We left and went to the cemetery and but Christmas arrangements on the graves of Beth's parents. We then went to Wegman's and did some grocery shopping and had lunch. Lunch was just OK and I would not eat there again. We came home and Beth took a nap. I tried but it never seems to happen. We went over and picked up Jojo around 4:40pm and took her to dinner for her birthday. We then opened presents and she loved her Barbie doll. We came home to watch both Prep and Landing Christmas specials. The wind and rain really picked up, but I wish it was snow.

Kyle's concert...

We were up around 8am this morning. We had breakfast and took showers. Beth left to go take her pillow back as someone had the wrong pillow in the box. They said this was the second time this had happen, so someone got a really nice pillow for a really cheap price. They did not have any more, so they are shipping one to the house. I wanted to clean the kitchen and put everything away. So since it had to be put away, I decided to clean out the cabinets and get a head start on spring cleaning. So 2 hours later, I finished the kitchen and went to finish my Christmas shopping. I stopped at the grocery store to get a few things for Christmas dinner and came home. Beth came home about 20 minutes later. We had Kyle's Christmas concert to go to tonight and he did well. We are going to Payton's Christmas program in the morning and then taking Jojo to dinner for her birthday tomorrow night.

Shopping day...

We were up and out the door to KOP by 9:30am. Beth and I split up and did our own shopping for about a couple of hours. we then went to Toy R Us. I wanted to get the Prep and Landing DVD and they had it in stock. So we left there and went to Jack's Wayback burgers for lunch. We came home and Beth tried to take a nap, but had no luck. We left around 4pm and went to Bed Bath and Beyond. I had several coupons and we both needed new bed pillows. So we found what we hope will be better pillows and came home. We had ribs of dinner and they were really good. We are now watching the football game and I am ready for bed.

Football Sunday..

We slept until 8:30am this monring. I took a shower and went to the grocery store. We made some veggies and dip for lunch time snack. We spent the rest of the day watching football. Way to go CHIEFS...

Run around day...

We got up around 9am this morning and took showers. We had a brunch to go to up in Reading. So we made there around noon and had a good time. We left there and went to Chipotle's and picked me up dinner. We then went to The restaurant store and the farmers market. It was around 4pm, so we came home so Beth could go to church. It had been snowing off and on all day. I fixed Beth a steak for dinner and it was really coming down. After dinner, I went downstairs to watch some football. Only one week until Christmas.

North pole eapress...

We were up around 7am this morning. Maggie got here around 7:15am with Payton. She fixed my computer and off to work she went. Beth took a shower and Payton and I had cereal. We left our house around 9am to go pick up Jojo. We then headed to New Hope, The kids had no idea where were going, so it was a surprise to them when we got to the train station. We picked up our tickets and got in line. It was a little chilly out and the ind was blowing, but we did not have to wait long. We boarded the fist class section and selected our seats. Both kids sat by the window to see out. After being served hot coco and and cookies, we headed down the tracks. It was a 5 mile ride and then the engine unhooked and re hooked to the back. The kids got to see Santa and each got a silver bell to go along with the movie. It was a great time and the kids had fun, so did Beth and I. We then stopped at Olive Garden for lunch. Both kids had a case of the giggles through lunch. We were back home around 3:30pm and the kids played downstairs until their parents came to pick them up. Beth called Dawn and found that Rylee can see Oh Christmas Tree and nobody taught her. We are not sure where she picked it up, but school did not have anything to do with it. She was singing it to her class mate and the teacher were so shocked. The she had to sing it for us on the phone. Oh my gos she was so cute. What a great day it was.

All done...

We were up early this morning as we were seeing Dr. Jill at 9am. We both had adjustments and were on our way. We made a quick stop at Staples and then on to the dentist. I was so glad to get my stitches out and can now brush all of my teeth and not worry about forgetting I had stitches and running the tooth brush over them. We left the dentist office, stopped at McDonald's for lunch, and came home. I had one more package to wrap and we then headed to the pack and ship place with 6 packages to send. We came home and I forgot I have to drop off my prescription at CVS and go to the bank. So out I went again. Dawn came by around 4:30pm to pick up the mugs they had ordered from Disney and to visit for awhile. She left around 5pm and I finished all the cookie tins and cleaned up the dining room and part of the kitchen. I was able to cook dinner tonight and it was a good change of pace from eating out. Beth went downstairs to wrap her presents and I did a little catching up on my TV shows. We have to get up early as Maggie is dropping off Payton. We will be taking Jojo and Payton to the North Pole Express train ride in New Hope tomorrow. It should be fun.

Cookies are done...

We got up around 9am this morning. Beth was mad cause she could not have any cookies for breakfast. I told her as soon as the tin were filled, she could have all she wanted. So we took showers and I had to run and do some errands. After I came back, we had lunch. Beth started making her cookies and I had to ice my sugar cookies. I had to make a run to the store as we needed raisins. My leg had been hurting all day and I knew it was due to my lower back, so I was able to get in to see Dr. Jill for an adjustments at 5:30pm. I came home and Beth was still making cookies, so I had dinner first. After her cookies were done, we traded spaces and she had dinner while I filled the cookie tins. I was able to get the ones that need to be shipped tomorrow filled and then went down stairs to finish the calendar. So we have about another hour worth of work to do tonight and then it is bed time. Beth will be seeing Dr. Jill in the morning for an adjustment and depending on how I am, I might see her again. Then I have a dentist appointment at 10am to get my stitches out and then it is off to the pack and ship to mail the boxes. Hopefully we can rest the remainder of the day.

Round 2 of cookie making...

I got up around 9am this morning and Beth was already up. I took a shower and we had breakfast. It was time to start round 2 of the cookie making process. Beth took a shower and headed up to check on her parent's house. I was able to get in 3 different types of cookies today. Beth came home and brought me some lunch and she had left over pizza. I had to go to Lowe's to get some packing boxes. I was able to get the last tray of cookies done around 5:30pm. I had some chicken thawing out for dinner, but I was to tired to clean the kitchen and cook, so Beth took us out to dinner. After dinner, we went to Michael's as I needed some clear vanilla for my frosting tomorrow. We came home and Beth worked on her Christmas cards and I worked on the calendar until 11:30pm. Tomorrow, Beth will start her cookie process and I will frost mine and make a batch of cake pops. So it will be another busy day.

Round 1 of cookie making...

We got up around 7:30am, took showers, and headed to see Dr. Bill. We were both in need of adjustments. After seeing Dr Bill, we headed to AC Moore and to the grocery store. We were back home around 11am. I started the process of making cookies. I wanted to get at least 3 different types done today. After the first batch, it was break time and we were ready for lunch. Since the oven was hot, I put 2 slices of pizza in for Beth. I heated up some white bean soup. After lunch, Beth went out to run some errands and I continued the cookie process. I finished up around 4pm. I needed to go to Michael's as I did not have any milk chocolate wafers for the cake pops. We dropped off the caddie, so it could be inspected, went to the mall, and then to Michael's. We were back home and ready for dinner. So I fixed us burnt end, backed potatoes, and corn. After dinner, I began coating the cake pops with chocolate. It was a slow process, but it was worth it. Beth them made some peanut butter saltines covered in chocolate. So now it is time to relax and watch MNF.

Busy Sunday...

Beth was up around 7am and took her shower. She was getting dressed when Rylee let us know she was up. Beth went to get her and changed her diaper. She them put her in bed with me and left for church. We watched a little TV, played with the flashlight, and finally slide out of bed to play with buster. We came out to the living room to watch TV until Aunt Beth got home with breakfast. We had donut holes and milk and after breakfast I took a shower. We then went and got the car washed. Rylee was not sure she like the car wash, so I held her hand and she was better. We then went to Michael's to get our mats and they look good. We then came home and played until Jo picked her up around 1pm. I then worked on the calender the rest of the evening. Beth watched the Eagles win, but it was not a pretty game. We are seeing Dr. Bill at 9am and I will spend the rest of the day making cookies.

Rylee spending the night...

We got up around 8:30am this morning. I wanted to get the house cleaned before Rylee got here this afternoon. I started with the living room and worked my way around to the dining room and then the kitchen. Gayle and Angie stopped by to look at my truck. We want to get heated seats for it since it gets so cold in the winter. After they left, I started laundry and we had some lunch. Beth began vacuuming the floors, so I went downstairs to work on the calendar until Rylee go here. Dawn and Jo dropped Rylee off around 4pm. We got to see the pictures she had taken this morning for second birthday and for christmas. They were so cute and will be posted later this week. We ordered pizza and went downstairs to play until the pizza came. After dinner, we put on our coats and walked outside to see the lights. Rylee loved watching the light changes and had to touch the snowman. She was ready to come in as it was so cold outside. We watched night before christmas and she played with buster for a while. She changed into her jammies, had some milk, and was ready for bed. She was out like a light in about 10 minutes. Aunt Beth will stop and get donuts for breakfast on her way home from church. Today's picture is Rylee sleeping with Buster.

Beth off to work again...

Beth was up around 8am this morning and took a shower. I got up and made us breakfast, scrambled egg sandwiches. Kim came to pick her up around 9:30am and they went to take pictures of more trees. I took a shower and headed up to Reading to do some shopping. It must have been pay day, cause there were a ton of people out doing shopping. Why were they not working??? So I got what I needed and stopped by Chipotle's to get my dinner for this evening and Beth some chips. I got home around 3pm and Beth was already home. We left and went to her brother, Jeff, house. After that, we went AC Moore and picked up a few things. Then it was back home for a short rest. I finished the gift jar and tags and had some dinner. Beth printed off the pictures for mom's calendar and off to the scrapbook room I went. I was able to get about a quarter of the work done and expect to do the rest Sunday, during the football game. Rylee will be spending the night with us tomorrow and it should be great fun.

Making gift for Christmas...

I got up around 8am this morning and took a shower. Beth did not get up until 10am. I made waffles for breakfast, but could eat half as my mouth was still sore. I wanted to run to the grocery store and then to Michael's. Beth had finished taking her shower when I arrived back home. I stated make the cake pops to see what they were like before making them for Christmas. I used a butter cake mix and will cover them in chocolate. So a box cake mix will make 69 pops. I put them in the freezer and will coat them tomorrow. I still had a few packages to wrap and did that downstairs. With Rylee coming over on Saturday, I need to move all the wrapping stuff out of the downstairs or she will be in them. We still a chicken in the fridge, so we put it on the rotisserie for dinner. I also began working on the Gifts from the Kitchen. I had 2 different recipe I wanted to make, so of course I started with the hardest. I was able to finish that one right before dinner. After dinner, I started on the other one, but ran out of 2 items, so I will finish them tomorrow. Beth was able to set up the Sugar Town village on the entertainment center and it looks nice. She is going to take more pictures tomorrow of Christmas trees, so she will be leaving around 9:30am.

Cold and Rainy...

Beth was up way before I got out of bed this morning. We took showers and she had breakfast. My mouth was still a little sore, so I skipped breakfast. It was raining and very cold, but no snow. I left around 11am to go do some shopping. I decided to wait a few more days before making cookies. Beth left a little after I did to go drop off the toy we wanted to donate to Rylee's school and go see her brother, Charlie. We had some lunch and then went to Target to get the gift for a 9 year old girl for the Angle tree and Beth's church. I fixed Beth steak for dinner and I had rice.

Dentist Again...

I got up around 8am this morning and took a shower. I had a dentist appointment at 10:30am. I was not looking forward to it. Since I was having surgery, Beth took me. It took about an hour and 15 minutes. I had 15 stitches and a very sore mouth. We headed home and I took 2 pain pills and put an ice pack on my cheek. Beth had lunch and left to do some shopping. I had a little bowl of mashed potatoes and some soup. I was able to fold the clothes and work on Christmas cards. Beth came home around 5:30pm. We had left over pasta for dinner and watched Nightmare before Christmas. I did a little shopping on line for Beth for Christmas. I am hoping to start baking tomorrow, but have to go to the store first.

Gifts all wrapped...

Oh my god, we did not get out of bed until 9:30am this morning. I took a shower and made breakfast. Beth took her shower and we headed to super wally world. I needed to get some shirt boxes and a few other things. Maggie asked us to watch Payton as she had a meeting tonight, so I had to get all the presents wrapped before he got here. So we made it back home around 2pm and has a quick lunch and I started wrapping. Beth was able to get into see Dr. Bill as she back was killing her. She then had to stop by her brother's house to sign some papers. Maggie text to say she was home from the doctor's and had bronchitis and pneumonia and would not be going to her meeting. But Payton was so excited to come over that she still wanted to bring him if it was alright. So Beth went over to get him on her way home, so Maggie did not have to get out again. We went to Giavani's and then came home to play awhile. We took him home around 8pm as he was really tired and we are now watching football. I have dental surgery again tomorrow on the other side of my mouth and will have stitches for 10 days. I am not looking forward to that, but just want to get it over with.

On a roll with Christmas...

Beth was up and at church by 8am. I on the other hand did not want to get up this morning and slept until 9am. I took ans shower and when Beth got home we had breakfast and read the paper. We then decided to do a little shopping before the football games started. Bad idea. There were way too many people for me, so we got a few things and came home. We will go out when the majority of people are working during the day. Beth got a couple of whole chicken and we could only fit one of then in the rotisserie grill. So we finished decorating the downstairs and I want to start wrapping presents. But of course the size of boxes we needed we did not have. So I wrapped what I could and we will go out tomorrow to get the boxes. We had dinner around 6:30pm and boy was it good. We had chicken, stuffing, potatoes, green beans, and cranberry sauce. Yum Yum. We are hoping to be up and on our way by 9am tomorrow. We have some toys to donate to Rylee's school as the kids are too young for them and then we off with the rest of our errands. Today's pictures are of our Christmas decorations outside.

Birthday party for Rylee..

We got up around 8:30am this morning. I took a shower and we had breakfast. Beth took a shower and I went outside to start putting out the outside decorations. Beth came out to help after her shower. We got everything places and then stated the maze of cords and timers. We finally got everything out and hooked up around 2pm. We had some lunch and then got ready to leave. We had to go get gas for the car and had to stop at Wally World to get a prescription for Frank. We then headed to Dawn and Jo's house as Rylee was having her birthday party. She was so excited to open packages and wanted to play with all her toys. She did not have a nap today, so by 8pm she was tired. Everyone started to leave around that time. We got ready to go and Rylee said she was going home with us and would not take no for an answer. So we talked to her mom's and she will be coming home with us next Saturday and staying the night. She was not happy about not going home with us, but it made us feel good that she wanted to come. So Beth dropped me off at home and she went to Wendy's party. I don't have to worry about her drinking as she is still on meds and wants to feel better.

Beth went to work....

Beth got up at 8am this morning. Kim was picking her up around 9am and she was going to work. She had a job taking pictures of the trees they decorated for future use. I got up after she took her shower. We had breakfast together and then she left. I took a shower and headed out. I had to go to the bank and figure out why I was charged a service fee on my account. It turns out I and still following the rules on Missour. Who knew. So to solve the problem, I opened a saving and checking account in PA. I had to keep some money in the old accounts as I had a automatic withdrawal coming out for insurance and may have some other once a years items coming in January. She also refunded the last 2 months of fees that were taken out. But of course this took about 45 minutes to complete. I then went to the mall to do some shopping and then came home. I had to pick up Jojo from school at 3:30pm as Kim and Beth would not be back by then. So I left the house around 3:10pm and got in line with the other parents. Jojo was surprised to see me as she was expecting her mom. On our way home, Beth called and said they were we at Kim's house in 15 minutes, so we just went over there and waited. After picking up Beth, we went to the outlet mall to see the new Disney store. It was OK, but not like being at Disney. So we came home and beanie wienie for dinner. We are both tired and ready for bed, so it won't be long. We have Rylee's birthday party tomorrow and want to be the yard read for Christmas and then Beth and Dawn are going to Wendy's Christmas party tomorrow night. So it will be a busy day tomorrow.

Eagles Suck...

Could the Eagles have looked any worst then they did tonight???? I got up around 8am this morning and Beth slept until 9:30am. We had some breakfast and I took a shower. Beth want to cut the leaves on last time, before taking she shower. We went into the attic and put all the Christmas stuff in the garage and Beth then cut the leaves. I had to run to Lowe's and then to Sears. We got a new blow up this year of Mickey on a merry go round. Beth finished the lawn and came inside. I put up some of the Christmas stuff upstairs and we then went out to dinner. After dinner, we went downstairs to watch the Eagles look bad and lose. We also started decorating the downstairs for Christmas. I am hoping to finish both up and downstairs by Monday.
