Tinsel it up...

Ok, turkey day is done. Time to drag out the plastic tree.
Lecture to self:  Nothing new this year just make an effort to do it better.  Just do it simpler.  Don't attempt it if you aren't having fun.  If they don't know you love them by now, buying more junk and cooking more tasties isn't going to prove anything.
Thank goodness I learned to make outrageous caramel sauce this year... guess what most of you are getting!  School is almost done for me and the kids.  Just a parade here, a concert there, finals and a few parties to go.  Thank you my little darlings for growing up so sweetly and not getting wild and crazy- throwing me into fits of self reproach for all the things I didn't do, didn't do good enough, did wrong, exploding a big self blame bomb for your poor choices.  So far, so good.  Now if you can all just meet the perfect mate and start your own businesses.  No pressure.  For now just focus on yourselves and enjoy the gift of the present :)  I hope this Christmas is a fun and memorable one for you.

Today's effort: Get the Christmas cards in the mail.  It's ok to print the addresses instead of handwriting them. It's ok to write a letter on the computer and just sign the bottom.  At least this once a year contact with many family members will let them know what we've been up to.

My Stars: OHS Christmas Concert 2011.  Don't they look grown up.  Surrey even got in on this one.  The concert was very good.  Omak is really blessed to have Mr. Pearce.  All that talent and he chose to make here is home and impart his skills to our kids.  Thank you Don and Lyn!
