1.New photos are up on the photo site.
2.They consist of the Christmas parade, last weekends busy weekend, and putting up the Christmas tree.
3. Last weekend we did a bunch of nothing Saturday morning, drove to Indiana Saturday night (so didn't have to get up at the butt crack of dawn to drive to chruch). Sunday-church, Christmas at Dads, Dinner theater thingy, drive home. Monday- Drive to Bloomington and back, then that night go to dinner with Grandparents and I went with Grandma to Annie at the Assemb. Hall.
4. Waiting for UPS packages. Hopefully usps gives me my package with nail crap in it. I did my nail yesterday but they look like crap!
5. Should get my new headlight bulbs today that I ordered off ebay. The dealership can suck it at $175 PER BULB. I got a PAIR off ebay for $60 shipped, not including cashback. really.
6. Ordered my new sensor part yesterday from a dealership in Florida for more than $100 less than the local dealership wanted to sell it for. really. Decided to just order the part, that way I don't have to dick with it anymore. Funny part is I could have gotten away with just manually adjusting the headlights before but now the sensor is partially working so that wouldn't work now...
7. Makenna had her preschool holiday party yesterday, they sang some songs and then got to see santa and get gifts. After that we munched on some grindage..
8. We have tickets to see Cirque du soleil in March, whoot!
9. Can't believe Christmas is next week! When are we gonna get some snow!?

Why we are not getting a..
Family photo taken for Christmas this year.
I tried, I really did. I got Makenna all dressed up, hair done. I had my dress on, makeup done, hair done. Finally got Brent dressed, bugged him to shave, even though he was in a less than desirable mood.
He mentions it will probably be busy, I don't agree, since I've never taken pictures the weekend of Thanksgiving...
We walk out the front door and it starts raining. The mall is packed, so we have to park a ways away from the front of the photo place...in the cold rain. We walk into the photo place and it is packed. I figure it's fine b/c it is only 1pm and they close at 7pm. Brent asks..nope..no availability until the next day they are open. Yay.
Fine. Whatever. We walk down to Sears to see if they have any availability. They do, we fill out some paperwork and get right in. The lady wants to take some pictures of Makenna first..even though it was made clear WE ARE HERE FOR A FAMILY PHOTO. One shot is taken and Makenna starts crying loudly. And by this time her face is bright red, spotchy and snot is running down her face. Makenna later told us the lights from the flash scared her.
No amount of toys or bribery can stop it. She continues to cry, while I continue to pull photo props out, tring to get her to stop. The photo lady stands there...and then asks me "Is she an only child?". I stand there and look at her, thinking WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH IT?. I tell her yes and she nods... My other thought is "no, we left our other child at home for our family photo." , ANYWAYS...
Makenna is still crying when we leave sears, me walking about ten feet in front of everyone else. She cried all the way to the car. We came home and I put on pajamas. THIS is why we are not having a family christmas photo taken this year. I give up, I tried, it wasn't meant to be apparently..
