Alice's 12 Days of Christmas





You all know the fun song "The Twelve Days of Christmas," here are the things that would be included in my Twelve Days of Christmas:

12 Family members and friends gathered.
11 days of sleeping in.
10 trips up and down the stairs to try and figure out how to get my dad's present working.
9 different restaurants to eat in.
8 pictures of the different foods I ate
7 times driving my seester's VW Beetle
6 people to have buy presents
5 walks with Divot(Andi's(seester)dog)
4 trips to Wausau to visit friends
3 handfuls of chocolate covered pecans
2 new "date" shirts
1 Merry Christmas

I had a hard time writing that list. I hope it was good enough to be enjoyed by you. I hope you are ready for the holiday. My shopping is done but not all the wrapping. We WILL have a white Christmas. It is supposed to snow tomorrow!

Have I mentioned that I hate coats? I miss running around Provo in my sweatshirt. I do have to admit that the pink coat is quite stunning and I am very thankful I brought it because it is COLD!

Those pics are of me and Marla out on the town the other night. It was nostalgic to go back to Sam's Pizza. I love that place. I was a waitress there for about four years. The garlic bread pic will have to suffice because I can't get my phone to send the pizza one. The other pics are from Finnegan's, a popular ice cream place in Wausau. YUM!

Today, I just hung out with the family. My sister is here with my niece, Rebecca. It is fun to have bonding time with them. Oh, Divot, their dog is also here. He is my pal. We went on a great walk today. It was cold but fun. He makes me want to get a dog!

We also met some friends for dinner. It was Taco's at Pat's Tavern. Unfortunately, okay fortunately, we were unable to eat on the patio. Man, those summer memories are still fresh and are missed as well. This place is entirely different in the winter. My fishing buddy, Don, came to eat with us. He is still as hilarious as always. He wanted me to go paint the town red with him, but I didn't have the energy. Funny how the 32 year old doesn't have the energy and the seventy something year old does.

Weird that tomorrow is Christmas Eve. Crazy. Enjoy!
