129 sleeps to go!

As you know I am a Christmas FANATIC - in fact, the madness is already gripping me... as you can see from a post a couple of weeks a go I am already starting planning for our annual Christmas Party (first Saturday in December, yes - you are invited) AND I've already got a couple of gifts purchased. 

Imagine my surprise when last week Mr Big joined in the fun! "When do you want to start the negotiations for the day the tree and decorations get put up".... It of course, made my heart swell with love for him.  Also today he sent an email with a December calender AND a suggestion that we should grab our dear friends (Tadpole, Ronnie, Jason, Lois and Hailey) and head to Leavenworth to a snowy cabin retreat for a couple of days. http://www.comfycabins.com/troll.htm looks to be the choice, right on fish lake.  All we need is to pray for lots of snow around the cabin, but not on the road - we need to actually be able to drive there.  The cabin is nice and close to Leavenworth where they have a wonderful Christmas festival http://www.leavenworth.org/modules/pages/?pageid=266 every year that we attend.
