Good Morning!!! Last night we bought our first Christmas tree!!!!! DH and I have lived together for about 3 years and have never bothered to decorate for Christmas. But this year the holiday decorating bug bit me hard and we went all out. We stayed up late last night putting up the tree and decorating it and putting up other decorations. I put two small Alberta Spruce trees on either side of the mantel and hung our stockings (got them last night at Target). I also bought some tree branches and cut them and displayed them in baskets to make the house smell good.

Today I mailed out all my Christmas cards and tonight I plan to decorate the wreath on my front door. I saw a cute one in a Christmas magazine with candy canes and red bows so I am going to try to make mine look like it. Wish me luck!

I forgot to take something out for dinner, so I will probably just make something simple like mac & cheese or soup and grilled cheese.

Hope you all have a great day!

Good evening ladies. Let me just say that I have been a very busy bee. That is why I have been scarce here lately. [I am sure that everyone is breathing a sigh of relief without me nothering them]. But I get up extra early every morning, since I got a job and do some chores around the house, that way I am not overwhelmed when I get home. Smart huh? We are expecting freezing rain and a wintery mix tonight. My dd is praying for snow.

Today wasn't frugal around here! DS#1 broke a window last night and it's going to be about $65 to replace it! He's going to be working it off for a very long time. Grr!
