Yearly Christmas Tree Tradition

 We had our annual "family bonding" trip to get our christmas trees.  We don't do the trek thru the woods for hours, searching for the perfect tree anymore.  Instead we go to a friend of Scott who has a landscaping company & does trees etc for christmas

 We all met at Scott & Deidre's house & had some mulled cider.  Mis LiLi is now into this & has been known to drink some coffee (decafe of course).  They had been to see the Nutcracker the night before & when they got in the car to go home she asked Dani if they could stop at Dunkin Donuts!
 Molly did not take kindly to sharing her back seat with Cedric!

 LiLi provided everyone with candy canes
 This is Scott in the middle of his sales spiel!
 Mark & Dani with their tree which cost them $5,075.00!  Yes you read that right(I'll explain later)
 It's a beautiful outdoor fireplace......notice the for sale sign?

 I missed getting a pic of Scott & Deidre's tree but it took 2 guys to carry it
 Family picture in front the beautiful outdoor fireplace............
 ........that now belongs to Mark & Dani!

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Sewing, weaving & emptying the waterbed

 Monday morning began bright & early as we needed to finish emptying our bedroom.  Mark was dropping LiLi off before 8:00am as she does not have school this week.  We needed to drain the waterbed before we could take it apart.  As usual we were having no luck getting the water to siphon out & even resorted to having LiLi (all 35lbs of her) sitting on it with us!!  It probably took over an hour & who knows how many tries before it worked.  Got the mattress out & discovered the decking was falling apart.....good thing we decided to do this project,,,,I was able to find a local place so we can just replace it & to be safe I also got a new safety liner & heater.  I don't want to be doing this again for a while!  While Popster worked on replacing the baseboard & window trim in those two rooms LiLi & I started working on this doll kit she had gotten for her birthday.  All the pieces needed to be sewn togeth...
