After I came home from the doctor this week- the first thing I did was call David and ask "Are we getting a real tree this year or not- I want to start decorating... like now... to cheer me up." I am trying to hold out until the weekend after thanksgiving, however, I have a feeling I will be digging out the christmas decorations tomorrow before David wakes up! He's going to come down the stairs (on his birthday) and pee himself from the winter wonderland that it going to explode before his eyes!
I can't wait any longer! I've been playing Christmas music for weeks and even spent 30 minutes in the singing/animated christmas toy aisle with Olive while I was getting my oil changed. The passers-by thought it was for her enjoyment- I'm ok with that ;)
I was going to wait until next week when I was off work to post my bucket-list but there is not time like the 'present' bahahah! Below are my 25 planned adventures:
1. Blog every day of December!!
2. Do as many Christmas crafts involving fingerprints, footprints, handprints, buttcheek prints, as I can with Olive for keepsakes!!
