With a little illumination

Light snow outside

We have lift off!

The tree is standing again! And it has lights. Aaron did a great job replacing all the burnt out bulbs and stringing them on the tree. You don't need me to decorate! Oh, we didn't put our ornaments yet. I guess the tree is still a work in progress.

The red accents are coming down and the blues are taking over...

Twinkles and pine needles

Aaron and I attempted to put our tree lights on and succeeded. It looked pretty with just the white lights. As we cruised on the couch, the tree fell down, again. Flat on its side. What a mess. We ended up dragging it out to the back porch until Aaron can recut the bottom flat and retry setting it in the stand. Don't want it falling on my babies when we are at work.

We spent the early morning cleaning up. No holiday cheer in the house...

GIRLIE UPDATE: New Moon

Michael and I spent the day hanging out while Aaron went to work. We finally saw New Moon. Go Team Jacob!

Jacob -- his abs says it all

Edward -- his tragic look hits the spot
We also ate dinner at Minh Anh Vietnamese restaurant in Lakewood, did a bit of Christmas window shopping and watched Coraline at my house. A great time!

One relaxing week

Amazingly my work week was easy. That's because it's the calm before the storm -- the busy desk period will begin next week in full force.

I finally went back to aerobics yesterday, and so did Michael. Melody seem to have missed us.

Today Aaron and I took Keala and Ikaika for their annual vet visit. They were on their best behavior yet! They made friends with the humans in the waiting room and behaved when they got their shots and nails clipped. I was so proud of my babies!

When we got home we finish putting the lights on our front yard bushes. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Aaron and I continued our errands and went food shopping. Then we went out to eat at the Texas Roadhouse compliments of Rick and Grandma.

We also attempted to put lights on our tree tonight. I say attempted because the tree tipped and almost came crashing down on me. Water went on the carpet and floors, and needles everywhere. Aaron and I tried to reposition the tree in the stand and ran out of steam by then. What a day!

Before da lights...
