I've already received two Christmas cards.  Seriously, people?  Stop making me panic about my to-do list.  I have tons of gifts to buy, a stack of cards to address and mail out, and Nutcracker things to finish up.

Ben's new date of departure will be after the first weekend of Nutcracker performances.  I'm thankful for many reasons that he will be here to watch Sister and Honey's performance.  He bought Sister a Nutcracker charm from James Avery the first year she performed in the Nutcracker.  Now, he can give Honey hers.  It'll be so cute when he gives it to her.

They've been doing some artillery stuff on Fort Hood.  We are about 15 miles from there.  Why can we still hear it so well?

Brother is officially joining the Squires this Saturday.  I'm so proud of him.  He's been to one activity and enjoyed it.  Ben said he did very well.  I know he was really nervous.  This Saturday, he will be sworn in or something like that.

My house is a disaster area.  Where did all these things come from?  I need to get to Ikea to get some bookshelves plus a couple of other things.  I can't do it with the kids in the car though since the boxes can't fit along with the children.

There's a forecast for snow tomorrow.  My poor children.  They don't realize the implications of living in Central Texas.  If we get snow, we'll get a dusting.  I can't imagine we'll have enough for anything.  You have to love children and their optimism.  They were making sure we had all the things we needed to make the face and arms for the snowman.  They're so cute!

I've been enjoying the sewing even if it's been a bit pressure-filled.  I guess I didn't realize I actually have some skill.  I surprised myself.
