Getting Our Christmas On

The day after Thanksgiving, as usual, we start getting the Christmas stuff out. The tree went up and so did the rest of the inside decorations.

The next day I worked on the lights for the outside. I thought I was finally going to get to use those little Globe Spinners to make dancing lights on the house, because this was going to be the first year that the dogs were old enough not to chew up all the wires. Hahaha and then there's Jupiter. We're giving it a try anyway.

Christmas present to myself arrived. Not exactly what I was expecting but hopefully they will last me a couple of years.

We we went to the December art walk downtown on Friday, and of course Canyon got to see Santa Claus again. I think the pictures came out really cute: having a discussion, having a smile, being goofy.

On Saturday, we went to the outlet stores in Little Rock to get some Christmas shopping done. We did pretty good! They have such a pretty tree there.

Then we went out to eat at Taziki's. Pretty yummy Greek food.

Then on to the Sherwood Enchanted Forest. It was a free drive-through Christmas display that was collecting canned goods or donations at the end. We had brought some canned goods with us. It was a very very long line to wait in. They had the cars zigging and zagging all through a parking lot until they got to the entrance. It was like trying to get into Disneyland.

It was very nice! An hour and a half away from home but worth the drive.
