Monkey Christmas 2011

So Monkey Christmas was a total blast this year. Thanks so much to Brandi and Tim for being great hosts as always!! The video was great this year too!! And I'm not just saying that because it was John's first year to be in it!! I also ended up with 2 AWESOME Monkey themed bottles of wine in the white elephant gift exchange.









Woohoo, I can't wait to bust them open!


OK, so now you NEED to watch this years video!! If you want to watch previous years videos first check out Monkey Xmas on the web.  For Monkey Christmas 2011 check out Kung Fu Jackknife.

The Tree is Up!!

So Jp and I finally got around to putting the tree up on Friday. I decided to just knock it out. Though I am contemplating not putting any ornaments on it. Jp has already made his way into a box, and decided they make better toys than decorations. Plus there are some with glitter, and he is already covered in it from the darn tree skirt!! I am kinda liking the idea of just a tree with traditional white lights! Yep, it's gonna stay that way!! 


 
Jp has stayed right beside and under it since we got it put up. I'm thinking he's a fan!! Presents definitely won't go down until he's asleep on Christmas eve though. I KNOW he will dig right in to those!!

It's starting to feel like Christmas!

We had an awesome day today. Even though it was freezing and grey outside.  We had a movie day, and just cuddled on the couch, and it was great! I love when he just wants to be lazy too. I haven't been feeling well the past few days. My lymph node is still super swollen, and the last round of antibiotics and steroids didn't help. All they did was make me sick to my stomach. I had a follow up appointment on November 29th, but I cancelled it. The next step in figuring out whats wrong is pretty invasive, so I decided that I want to wait until after the holidays. While it may not be the medically recommended decision, it's my choice. I do not want to spend the next month waiting on test results, and taking meds that make me sick. Not my idea of a fun Christmas.

I dug the tree out of the garage this past weekend, and tonight's the night that I am going to put it up. I am going to wait for Jp to go to bed, and then start the adventure. I want to get at least one picture of all the ornaments on it, before he starts tearing them off. I have a feeling, "No, don't touch that" is going to be said millions of times before Christmas is over. Good thing I bought shatter proof ornaments!! I did get the stocking put up this weekend though!! I just love Jp's little reindeer stocking.


Time to get dinner started for the guys!! Hope everyone had a great Tuesday!!
