Then Friday.. Ryan's work Christmas party was Friday night. We got all dolled up. Had a good time and won the Grand Prize - a wii and wii Fit Pad!! Awesome.
Saturday we got our real tree and decorated that. It turned out to be an all day activity. I haven't a clue how it happened but I ended up with 1300 lights on my tree. It's pretty though -but the fire department might drop in if they happen to drive by. Looks like a small fire in our house. :-)
Gavin also cooked some popcorn on the stove (don't worry... I was right there). He was so proud of it that he took pictures of it.
Lastly... most of you know my fear of spiders. There was one in the house and Gavin and I were home alone. I put my finest parenting skills in gear and I persuaded my son, against his own fear, that he should kill it with a shoe. And he did. Parenting at it's finest. :-)
