We have a big day planned today - finally making things look a bit Christmasy around here, since we are all mostly feeling better from whatever bug that was that made us all feel like crapola! #1 on the list is a Christmas tree, since we've not yet put one up! We have to go find one we like and get the lights on it (at the very least).
I promised Daniel we'd make Christmas cookies today and hopefully that won't be too terrible. He loves being my 'kitchen helper' (as he calls it) but now I know how my grandma must've felt when I got old enough to want to help her in the kitchen!! When he gets older I want him to look fondly on his childhood Christmases - fingers crossed for a good time in the kitchen today.
At 10ish is his school's Christmas party, so we're going to that (probably going to skip the rest of the school day), then we have to get to Target and find our last remaining Christmas presents - for grandparents and I'm going to try and throw some clothes in there for Daniel since the poor child is outgrowing everything he has.
Books:
Currently I'm reading Citizen Soldiers, by Stephen Ambrose. Really interesting book. Firsthand accounts of the push across Europe from D-Day until VE day, from the perspective of American GIs and German soldiers. I listened to about half of it on CD when I checked it out from the library but reading it is so much more fulfilling.
