Well today has been a banner day for us. Terry got his side of the garage cleaned out, and for the first time since July, his car is now parked in it. Pretty major stuff.
On my side of things, I have finally seen the dining room table that has been MIA since last Christmas. Yes, all the crap is off it, and now begins the task of trying to get the tablecloth clean. Don't faint Mom, but we will eat in the dining room on Christmas Day. No china or crystal, but we will be in the dining room. I just need to find a festive tablecloth to drape over the changing table that's in the corner and we will be all set.
In other news, Sophie experienced her first social setback today. Her friend Elizabeth had a pajama party for some school friends this morning, and Sophie wasn't able to go due to a low grade fever she was running. You would have thought I told her Christmas was cancelled. Full out tantrum the likes of which I haven't seen from her in a few years. She did get to stay in her own pajamas all day, and do some fun things like watch Rudolph and Charlie Brown Christmas. A banner TV day for her. Kathleen and Noah stopped over on their way home from the party to drop off her goodie bag, and Noah had made a picture for her while he was there. That cheered her up a good bit. Plus in the goodie bag was a snowman kit: two marshmallows, several pretzel sticks, gumdrops, raisins, and a chocolate kiss for the hat. She put it together rather quickly, and ate it rather quickly as well.
By tonight her temp was down, so hopefully, she is on the mend. It is my goal to actually make it to Mass this Christmas Eve. It seems every year, one of us is sick. We haven't been to Mass on Christmas since Sophie was 15 ms old. Keep your fingers crossed!

Way to go on the holiday cleanup! I made it to Mass on Christmas Eve, but only because I went before the girls were up. Doug took Annika to church with his family while Dagny napped (and I stayed with her) in the afternoon. Divide and conquer!
Steph,
Divide and conquer does work well, we may have to try that next year. I was in the Narthex for about 50% of the Mass. At least it was nicely decorated!
