Tomorrow is December already!

I think I make some kind of comment about the change of the month, like every month :)

Its cold outside, and there is little snow, but a lot of ice. Kendra I miss the snow, and would love to come snow shoeing! My friends and family think of me as some kind of red-neck when I talk about our northern way of life. But I sure loved it and miss it.

We're heading to the city tonight to take Emma swimming with her cousin at the hotel. That should be fun.

We had our small group over on Tuesday night for brownies and visiting. Emma entertained us some and we just enjoyed each other's company.

We found out that another family in our church plays Settlers, so we are going to try to get together and have an evening together, that should be fun. We played last weekend with Ryan's brother Erik and Margie. It was an okay game. It was fun to see Margie take the lead and win! Did I ever tell you that I lose at most games! :) I guess I"m not very strategic. I can win most times at Cribbage, so I like that game - hehe. ANyone know of some new games that have been fun?? Some new ones that I have tried this year are Apples to Apples, and Imagineiff, both are fun.

Got our tree up, took us a whole 20 minutes, and Emma really doesn't care about it. But I am enjoying the lites on in the evening. Started listening to Christmas music too, I just love this season! Speaking of Christmas, any ideas of what to get Derek??? We tried drawing names last year with my family, it didn't work. We were the only ones who bought for our names, only. Everyone else bought for everyone else, so what I ask myself what was the purpose of drawiing names???? Oh well more gifts for us :) hehe. Oh wait I'm not suppose to think that way.

Okay dokey think I've said enough. Leave some idea. Thanks for your friendship ladies, really really miss all of you.

my mind just went blank on what i was going to comment on...hmmm...

oh! i was going to say that you need to embrace your redneck heritage. i just tell people that we're rednecks, so they don't have to guess. :)

good one Rhon. I never thought that we were but I guess I need to just buck up and admit it. :)

and it's nothing to be ashamed of! Remember all the fun times we've had on canoe trips? Shucks, that's when you snagged yourself a hubby, Melissa!! :-) Sometimes I just want to go back 15 years - just for one weekend - and have a good ol' canoe trip with Leonard and Twila and the whole gang. But I would still want to be married to Keith. Hmmm...

oh, and i forgot to say that "Carcassonne: Hunters and Gatherers" is a fun game.

Jenni I would like the same, to go back just for a few days, laugh our heads off, have some good talks, and I agree still be married to the man of my dreams.

Rhon, is that game from the same makers of Settlers??
