Sights

Tonight, we visited several/most neighborhoods in our city to look at the Christmas displays. Some areas were surprising with many lights, and some not so much. We had two favorite streets. Both streets happen to have very charming older homes with rooms upon rooms. The kind with a little candle in each window and a rambling porch with greenery, spotlights, and maybe some carolers on the front porch. I think...one of them was a brick road if I remember correctly. The other street has lampposts down each side--so Dickens-villagesque. Is that a word?? They looked like those Dept. 56 villages that people set up. The snow adds the perfect touch of beauty and the Starbucks drink added some warmth.
We spent the earlier part of the day with me finishing school up for the 2008 year/semester with Aliyah--HOORAY!! Josh worked on the soffit that he built (sanding/mudding) or something yucky like that which involved dust.
This afternoon, we ventured out for some more Christmas shopping. We had to buy for my father-in-law, MIL (the nice one--not the MIL), haha if you know you get it.
Although I have found 2 pair of pants for my sweetie-pie, I am still on the hunt for something to get him. I think I could probably list off everything he has gotten the past two Christmases from anyone because he uses the stuff all of the time. There's just not anything that jumps out this year. I guess if my pockets were made of gold then no problemo--but they're not exactly golden =). I told him that I had my Christmas gift--a finished bathroom. It is awesome and something that he spent a lot of precious time on for us. He told me today that he just likes little stuff--whatever that means??
Keirah was so cute tonight in the car. She was singing "Jesus Loves Me" and "Silent Night" by herself. Those are the sweet little things that just warm your heart!
I'm off to enjoy my second candle-lit bath in the new bathroom. YAY!
