Found the Christmas tree but not the orginal stand and it took a while to find another stand. Put it up in the living room and fastened it to the wall as usual . Look very carefully and you will see a small black kitten well hidden in the tree. What kind of tree is it "a Cat Muss Tree" of course. I started putting the net lights on and the trouble began. Unfortunately Mitzi got her head hung in the net lights and almost choked so the tree lasted about five minutes. We will have to look for another prelit tree or forgo the tree altogether this year.
My back is some better but I am still not doing much as it keeps threatening me again. On another note Sunday afternoon we went to Hazel and Donald's 50th wedding anniversary party. Their 50th anniversary was actually last December 24 and the kids wanted to do it then but for one reason or another Hazel and Donald wouldn't let them so they did it this November ---so I guess since it was not December it would still count as their 50th party . One picture is a close up of the happy couple and the other picture shows a picture of the cake ---it's all real cake made by Trula --one of Hazel's sisters--she does caters cakes as a sideline---and the punch fountain.
Some of Meg's little girl cousins ignored her (as usual) she is the oldest born that particular year and looks the most like a teen girl while one of the others has gotten a little plus sized and outgrown her beauty pageant faze and the other wants people to notice her boobies (fried pigeon egg sized) and her sprayed on jeans with holes in the knees not to mention her little racoon makeup eyes---sorry but she looks like an eight year old tramp. One of my nieces went through the same faze. The boys flirted with Meg and ignored them . Then there was one little girl that was there that goes to church with us and she comes up to Jaime and looks at her had as says---you got a witchcraft symbol on your hat---you witchcraft. Jaime looks at her and says--the pin is from an anime show I watch and it is the Star of David---a Hebrew symbol that is in the Bible and witchcraft is not something you are but something witches do. The kid looked at Jaime and said "really" and this kid 's uncle is our preacher. Don't think she has learned much in church the past three years she has been going except maybe how to sing off key with the karoke machine. But don't let me get started on that---I am so tired of canned music with children that are tone deaf and can't carry a tune.
I did bring Santa and Ana Claus from the playhouse to spend the holidays in the Tu Mani apartment this year.

Well happy 50th Anniversary to Hazel and Donald. That is a milestone. Especially in today's society when so few even make it to 5 years!
Don't you think it's a bit early for xmas trees Yvonne? It's not even December yet!
We usually put our tree up Thanksgiving weekend so at our house we are a week late :) It all got started back when I worked as well and that was the only time we had before Christmas Eve when we weren't over run with things to do and since we use an artifical tree there was never any trouble with fallen needles.
