Gearing up for the Big Day...

The last month has been a whirl wind of school programs, holiday shopping, work challenges, money worries, and Ryan chasing. Doing the normal Holiday preparations with Ryan has been so much fun and it will only get better. I am hosting Christmas dinner at our house so off to the store for me today. As everyone knows. I am a planner so everything should be prepared by Monday...

Buying our Christmas tree was fun.



He was just so overwhelmed by them all.
Mr. Ryan played the cutest Angel in his preschool Christmas Show.

Santa did not go to well. He just seemed annoyed at me an Chris for taking him...

Tis the Season...

There has been a lot going on in my head lately. About people and how people treat people. I still feel we are on the cusp of a new world. Where things are getting ready to change. Where people will get excited again and live rather than just get by. But in my belief that everything gets worse before it gets better, I am still sadly reminded that there are things out there that are just not good. People hurting and not living the life they think they are. Enough.

So in order so kick off this holiday season right. I defer to a man that taught me lots of holiday wisdom. He also made me laugh hysterically at the fact that I could see an exaggerated version of my family in his holiday. And right now, at this moment, what he said says it best...

"I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane, with all the other rich people, and I want him brought right here with a big ribbon on his head. And, I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no good, rotten, floor-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed, sack of monkey sh** he is! Hallelujah! Holly Sh**! Where's the Tylenol?"
Merry Christmas! Shitter was Full...
