Decking the halls

This is just a quickie, because Liam is napping right now, and I am trying to devote most of his naptimes from here on out to writing a monstrous paper for my course. The reason being, I want to devote the time he's awake to more fun pursuits. Today we went out to our local farm stand to pick up some greenery for the urns on the front porch. The urns are not quite finished, but we made a good start. Over the coming weeks we have the children's Christmas party sponsored by our company, the Festival of Trees has a kiddie day we might try to make it out to, the Santa Claus parade, stringing the outdoor lights with dad (tentatively scheduled for next weekend), putting together a gingerbread house with mom (Canadian Tire is selling kits - $8.99 gets you the pre-assembled house, icing mix, and candy all in one box - Chad is upset that the candy isn't really of the quality you'd want to eat as you go, but that's why we live just around the corner from Bulk Barn, right?), and getting the tree (we are considering going artifical from here on out so I would like to get out to Sloan's Tree Farm at least once to see what all the fuss is about) - all sorts of seasonal activities that mean I ought to be fitting my schoolwork into the gaps in our days when possible.

Last night we had the MacBarrs over for dinner and I am hoping Megan might send some pictures my way... she had her camera out; I was far too lazy.

Sorry we didn't make it out to that dinner. There was a time attached to that invite I forced out of you guys but not a date so it's not really our fault. :)
