All the Pens Were On the Floor
Tyler and I have noticed the past couple of days that pens keep appearing on the floor right next to our desk. Maya loves to sleep on the desk, and I assumed that Tyler or I left them sitting on the desk after being used and she accidentally knocked them off as she slept. How wrong was I...
Note: My camera cord isn't working correctly, so the Christmas post will have to wait. I promise that it is coming!

It's Been Way Too Long
Yes, yes. I know. It has been way too long since we have posted. It is crazy how busy life gets when the holidays are near and your husband works retail!:)
We spent the first part of Thanksgiving with my dad and stepfamily, and the second part at Tyler's parents' house. It was great to have some downtime and really enjoy the day. Tyler was not scheduled to work at midnight on Black Friday, but alas - we went out and braved the crowds. Neither of us had ever gone out at opening time on Black Friday (although we each had worked, but let's be honest - it's an entirely different experience. Despite the fact that I worked the next morning, we had a great time and got some really good deals.
I have been terrible at remembering to have my camera along when we are doing things, such as putting up and decorating the Christmas tree. Yes, we set up the tree the day after Thanksgiving and just decorated it last night. We had bought a tree on clearance after Christmas last year. It was much...smaller...than we remembered, but it fits in our apartment well. Maya has been curious, but so far we haven't had any disasters. Although I think she thought she had found kitty heaven when we were taking the ornaments out and putting them on the tree.
I had a mini nativity set that I had gotten years and years ago, and it made sense to put it up. We found the perfect place - on the top shelf of our living room bookshelf. The only problem was, Maya found it, too. I woke up one morning and Mary, Joseph and the Baby Jesus were all missing. It took some hunting (luckily I've learned where she likes to hide her toys), but by the end of the day all had been found. Needless to say..the nativity set didn't last too long.
My final note: you should be proud of me, as I drove in the terrible snow and ice on Saturday night! Yes, it may not have been that bad, but please don't judge until you have driven my car in winter. I did concede that the snow is pretty, but I continue to be reminded that I am not meant for Minnesota.
