Holidays

Given the news of the afternoon, I have decided to turn my focus to the holidays for a little while...

First, Halloween! Jordan and I had a great time trick or treating last weekend. We didn't stop at many of the houses because Jordan quickly selected a 3 Muskateers bar and a lollipop to hold and then declared all other candy mine, but we never passed up a house with a puppy to pet!

Thanksgiving should be uneventful this year. It will just be the 3 of us, so we'll probably eat a little turkey and use the time to get our tree, decorate, and start thinking about Christmas!!

Each year, we get at least one new porcelain Lenox ornament with the year embossed for our tree. In 2007, we kicked off the tradition with a "1st Home" ornament from my sister, Becky and a "First Year Together" ornament that we got ourselves. In 2008, we got a "Baby's 1st Christmas" to celebrate Jordan's birthday. And for 2009, we were determined to celebrate our first trip to Disney with our ornament. I had tried before Christmas, but failed at every attempt to find a Mickey or Minnie 2009 ornament in-stock anywhere. But tonight, I FINALLY found and ordered our 2009 ornament!
