My First Christmas Present!

As much as I would like to think that Santa left me one of the cats under the tree, I know that Finn is just waiting for me to leave the room so he can attack!

But anyway....

My sweet nephew Caleb (with a little help from Mom & Dad) gave me something from my new favorite store; Basketry Bug. Thanks Caleb! Uncle Steven and I will enjoy it very much! It has a little something for all of us, even the cats. That store has just about anything that you can think of, and they put together some really beautiful gifts. I'm actually giving someone a gift from there, but I can't say who because they frequent this blog quite often!

Well, should go, Steve & I are headed to the farm on Wednesday for an early Christmas with his side of the family, and we won't be back until Christmas Eve. I have presents to wrap & laundry to do, not to mention keeping some unnamed suspects out of the tree!

Merry Christmas!

Melissa & Steven

Christmas All Over Again!

Where did it come from! All of the sudden I feel caught up in Christmas commercials & my favorite holiday flicks (National Lampoon anyone?)

So, in the spirit of the holidays, Steven & I thought that it would be a good idea to go to West Edmonton Mall to do some shopping. We had a great time, but at the end of the day we were very happy to put up our feet! We saw one of the actors from Corner Gas (Eric Peterson, who plays Oscar on the show) was on the escalator behind me in the HMV store...going up! As some of you might know, I really hate escalators and I try to avoid them whenever possible...but anyway!

Now the decorations are out and the tree is up (the cats have already had their way with it!) Don't let the picture fool you...it's a rare moment that they sit under the tree ~more like in the tree. The house is feeling very warm & cozy, and soon there will be yummy treats to eat (mmmmmmm....delicious tryptophan goodness!) Happy Holidays!
