Getting into the Christmas spirit!

 Velle "helped" me spread some decorations around the house.  She kept taking things out of the buckets...it is like having a 2 year old in our home again!
 How many teeth and paws can a puppy have that move so fast?
 Sitting all regal...her throne of lies...with naughty elves watching from their perch.
 My tree decorators had this tree decked out in 15 minutes!  "We need a bigger tree, Mom.  All the ornaments won't fit!"


 We helped sing at the City of Wixom Tree Lighting again this year.  We saw Santa and his reindeer!
 And then...Ted and I had a real live date!  It has been awhile...we enjoyed dinner and then coffee at the Uptown Coffee place in downtown Howell.  My girly pick was a gingerbread mocha (with half the syrup!) and whipped cream...a taste of Christmas!  Ted enjoyed his manly double-shot of espresso straight up!

 I got myself a cup of DD early on Sunday morning as a wake-up after dropping Ted off for another trip out of the country.  Mmmm...the smell of coffee is comforting!
The children's Christmas program on Sunday morning was another one for the books!  A ship down the middle aisle with a crow's nest!

 A couple of my students were part of the school of Selfish Elf-fish.  So cute!


 The auditorium was very full!  The children sang beautifully!
                                            Naughty dog biting at ornaments and branches!
 Sunday afternoon dinner and a movie...it was time for our annual viewing of Elf.
The best way to spread Christmas cheer...singing loud for all to hear!  "Or snoring...right, Mom!  Did you have a good sleep in the chair?"  I slept...but it wasn't good...my neck was sore.
