Thanksgiving: This was our menu. CRAZY!!! Yes, we need all that food.
We have been geocaching again. We started this about 4 years ago, did it for a summer and stopped. We bought a new GPS and did a little bit early December and we had fun! We will do more once the Christmas season is over. This one was in a park right by our house. This is the park we run around.
We also went geocaching at the Zoo, and while we were there, we saw the polar bears being fed. Going to the Zoo in the winter is cold, but it is the BEST time to see the animals. Remember my post last February about the Kangaroos?
Last weekend, Ed and Kathleen had a holiday party, with the main event being the counting of the corks! They have been collecting corks (they are avid wine drinkers) and every time you finish a bottle with them, you can put a guess in for a dollar. The object is to guess how many corks the container will hold.
Here's the container:
And here's the couting:
I think it ended up being 1,059 corks. Our closest guess was one of mine at 1,088. Not too bad.
The next day, we had a HUGE snow storm, and our neighbor and his kids invited us to go sledding. I hate sledding, but I went, and it was ok, the hill was pretty small.
Now, this is the exciting part:
We have decided what we are getting for Christmas. Oh, this is SOOOOO cool.
Yes, we are getting a new stove and refrigerator. Our current appliances are about 30 years old. The only concern is the size of the fridge. We just HOPE it fits into our house. It is truly beautiful. And, look at this:
That button on the far left? CRUSHED ICE!! But, really the best part is that it is a filtered dispensor, which means we can get rid of our Brita filtering systems!
I think when you buy appliances for Christmas and are truly exctied about them, means you are officially adults. So, at 29 and 34, it's about time, right?
And, in Marcel news...he is coming home FOR SURE! But, not before Christmas...we are now looking at early January. How exciting that it is so soon!!
Ok, now I really have to get moving, more shopping, gift wrapping, and baking is the plan for the rest of the day.
Merry Christmas everyone!!
