A Candy Cane Martini, the Christmas tree, and NCIS… Ah…
The Notorious Elf Hat…
This is what happens to dogs that visit our house during the Christmas season. They are forced to wear the elf hat! Here we practice the torture of Roux. Yes, he hates it, but doesn’t he look darn cute?!?
Shoveling…
It’s not breaking any Child Labor Laws if they actually *WANT* to shovel and had us buy them each their own shovel, right?!?
Annual Christmas Party
We went to the Musket’s Annual Christmas Party this evening. Thanks to Grandma Marilyn and Grandpa Ken for watching the kids so that Andy and I could have a night out. The party was a good time as always and it was great to see people that we had not seen in a while. We also got lucky enough to see Santa and Mrs. Claus! Some things just never get old…
Girl Scout Sleepover!
Laura has a sleepover tonight with her Girl Scout troop. To say she is excited is an understatement! She even wore her Girl Scout t-shirt today. 
I dropped her off about 6:30 pm and the girls were already crafting. Also on the agenda are cookie making, games, and sleeping. Well, maybe not a lot of sleeping, but some anyway… Laura is most looking forward to making her own wreath. Her goal is to make a beautiful one that we can hang up in our house to add to our Christmas decorations. I expect to have a very tired girl tomorrow!
Christmas Decorations!
The Christmas decorations are officially complete at the Kassel household! Time to sit back and enjoy…
Christmas Legos!
Andy and the kids put together the Christmas Lego set that we got at the Lego store while in Chicago. The set is of a family decorating a Christmas tree. It comes complete with a ladder for the people to stand on while decorating, a train engine, and presents. Too cute!
