Random Happenings

• I'm drinking coffee with Cinnamon Sugar Cookie creamer...my coffee tastes like a snickerdoodle. 
• Best quote from A Muppet Christmas Carol:

"And how would the book keepers like to be suddenly UNEMPLOYED?!"

"Heat Wave! This is my island in the sun, oi oi!" 

• Fiona is currently obsessed with The Nutcracker...we saw excerpts from the ballet last week at a show her dance school put on, and now she's dancing all over the house to the Nutcracker music, saying that the Mouse King is coming after her and that she has to throw her shoe at him, and has called herself Clara on numerous occasions. She particularly enjoys dancing in her nightgown with whichever stuffed animal is handy to act as placeholder for the Nutcracker.
• There are 9 days until Christmas and I am completely done with sending out cards and shopping. Just have to wrap presents now!
• Fiona's favourite Christmas song is Deck The Halls...the only part she knows is "Fa-la-la-la-laaa-la-la-la-laaa".  
• For the rest of the month, our cat shall henceforth be known as "Kringus". Last night, she wouldn't get out of the tree.
• A picture of the little Christmas tree we've got in Fiona's room...tree and decorations cost less that $15 at Wal-Mart! She's loved having that tree in there.
