11/03/07  Very cold in CT today. The dog, all 90 lbs of him,  is rolled up in a ball on the couch. Except for babies there is nothing cuter than a dog sleeping. We went looking for decorations for Mom's party yesterday. Good old Christmas tree shop!! We got 15 beautiful candle holders and candles for the centerpieces. It only cost us $50. That store has everything in the world and things are very cheap but still pretty. It was mobbed because of the holiday shopping that has already begun. Tone and I are trying to talk my daughter in law into a secret santa this year for the adults because it is really all about the kids. She told me "Mom is you think you like Christmas, I like it 10 times more!! Yousa! Hopefully we can get up to see our grandkids this w/e. We try to see them every week cuz they grow up so fast!!!
