Well, Dan and I decided last night that we were too tired to get all dressed up and drive downtown for the formal. Yes, we really are an old married couple. :) But we did go out to eat at Imperial Garden and then watched a movie, called Conversations with Other Women (with Helena Bonham Carter and Aaron Eckhart) here. It was a really interesting movie; very innovative in the way it was shot. I really enjoyed it, and the soundtrack was amazing.

Today we are going to just clean up around here, finish decorating our Christmas tree, and finish putting up Christmas lights. It's snowing here, which I LOVE. I love doing Christmas things when it's all wintry outside. We have to go grocery shopping too,which isn't that much fun. Oh well. I'll post pictures of both our Thanksgiving celebration and our Christmas tree and Christmas lights when we're done with them.

Today, I was sitting on the couch doing a crossword puzzle, and Maxine started to go crazy, so I looked outside the window to see what she was freaking out about, and I saw a gorgeous red cardinal sitting on the tree outside our window. It was so beautiful to see this bright splash of red against pure white. I grabbed our camera to take a picture, but by the time I opened the door, he had flown away. Oh well.

Hope everyone is having a beautiful first day of December! And Happy Birthday Uncle Alan!
