Dearest Blog, I have not forsaken thee...
It's been rather busy in the Esser-Johnson household. We got our Christmas tree yesterday my in-laws came over to help decorate and hang lights, this is my first time with a REAL tree in a HOUSE. LOVE IT!!!!!!! I'll put up some pics in a bit. Turkey Day was great, didn't overeat... now it's back to the grind. Can't believe its the HOLIdaze already!!! Wanna know what I want for KwanzaaChristmasaka???
Hm... here's a partial musing:
-A new granite composite sink
-New counters for the kitchen (to go with my new sink)
-Books about gardening (indoor and outdoor plants)
-Wine making kit
-Recipe Books
-Craft Books & Supplies
-Re-Gifted stuff that is laying around your house that you never use (like -stationary, candles, candle holders, Messmer Teacher re-gifts, etc)
-BRYNA- I WANT YOU TO MAKE ME A FRAMED PHOTOGRAPH (like the pictures you take of flowers and frame them so they look all professional and stuff)
-NICOLE - hand-made recipe book
and a partridge in a pear...

Phew, it's been a while... sorry my little blog-flowers. Renovations galore, so tired at the end of the day, my lame butt is asleep by like 10! On Halloween...I painted ALL day and put together bookshelves and hung curtains. Didn't even REMOTELY dress up, kids don't come trick-or-treating on the streets here, they have some thing at the mall where everyone goes... so I didn't get any candy, and then 5 kids stopped by around 9:30 PM, and me and Ryan are like OH SHIT! So we gave them what we had:
Quarters and some Hansen's diet cherry soda, heeheee, we were laughing so hard. I almost gave them the canned sauerkraut we had in our cabinet!

Anywhoo, still quite a bit more decorating to do, but here's the kitchen and my office so far. DIG IT!

Bryna- I PROMISE I will try to call you at 6ish when you are off this week!!! Oh, and post some Hallow's Eve pics, I LOVE Suz's costume!
