I woke up this morning to SNOW! not much, but we're happy for that-- everything was white. DH had the foresight to put the minivan in the garage last night when we returned home from my mom's house (Thanksgiving) so that was nice, although I've not gone anywhere today anyway.

This afternoon kiddo saw the Advent House I'd gotten a few weeks ago from World Market and inquired about it. This is the first time we've had a HOUSE to countdown to Christmas with! Usually I've bought those cheap flat chocolate filled door things from who knows where. Once we did a candy cane countdown (but that got boring! LOL) She opened the front door (day 1) after her shower time this evening.

We had a simple meal of grilled ham & cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. (They just HAVE to go together, ya know!) Nothing fancy, but after DH came home from work  and shoveled outside again it was a perfect fit for dinner! I made a batch of peanut butter cookies afterwards and we enjoyed a few. I tried to watch a Netflix rental, Tropic Thunder, with him but my brain just couldn't take the sheer stupidity... no matter how many actors in it I actually like. So I'm up here wrapping up this blog entry for today while he sits and watches the rest of it.

Well that's all for today, December 1st! I've saved these photos and will copy/paste my blog entry to a Word document so I can get this day into my 2008 Christmas Season binder. (No Trish, I've not FINISHED putting the darn thing together yet! *sigh*)
