My Poor Blog

Man, I feel awful! My poor blog page has totally gotten the shaft lately. Its been neglected for way too long. So here I am...writing another blog. The Lee household has just been way too busy lately for much of anything known as free time. Free time? What is that?! Seriously, with the holidays and the food and the shopping and the food and family gatherings...and did I mention the food??? I love the holidays! Let's see, I haven't even updated this thing for Halloween! It was great. We did the usual: rush home from work, set the candy bowl on the sofa table and try very hard to keep Jenna from eating everything in it, Chris pass out candy to our neighbors while I frantically try to get out of my work clothes and dress the girls, then we head out to the church fall fest where we eat hot dogs and popcorn and mingle with friends and family. Jenna was dressed as a nurse and Morgan, well, I'm not too sure what she was. She wore a black and orange tutu, black tights, and had a big Halloween decorated bow in her hair. Oh, and she had a black kitty cat bib on. Jenna said her sister was a kitty cat, so I guess she was a kitty cat. Morgan ended up winning a cosume contest in the outfit so I guess she was cute enough! Morgan also started eating cereal lately (as of November 2nd) and some fruits and veggies. She's a ham! Such a happy baby! She's rolling all over the place and trying to crawl. Why oh why can't she just stay a baby forever?! She's even saying "momma" now! And Jenna's such a little smarty pants. I'm so proud of her in so many ways. She's learned to draw people and let me tell ya. She does a pretty darn good job to just be three years old. Its cute, she has a big ol circle for a head and the arms and legs come out of the head. No body, lol! She even draws fingers and toes. Mind you, her people have about 50 fingers and maybe 3 toes sometimes but you get the idea. On to Thanksgiving. We ate way too much. As usual. I had a great time with my family. Its a tradition every year that me and my sister Donna and Mom all go shopping the day after Thanksgiving to hit the Black Friday deals. We got up Friday morn. at 4 am and off we went. Got great deals and had loads of fun. What girl doesn't love a whole day of shopping with her husband's credit card?!! Shoot, my Christmas shopping was just about done in one day! Speaking of Christmas, that's just around the corner and I'm sooo looking forward to it this year. Its Morgan's first Christmas and I plan to make it special for her and Jenna. Jenna's finally old enough to understand the meaning a little better and she even helped decorate the tree this year. It may not be perfect like the way I would do it, but I find myself smiling inside and thinking of how proud my Jenna was of herself when I see the one branch that has...oh, about 5 ornaments all bundled together. But it's pretty, nonetheless. Now we're looking forward to our annual Christmas party which will also be paired with my little sis's birthday this year. On the 13th, we'll all (friends and family) gather at my house to do a scavenger hunt around town. This should be fun! And then we'll come back for some good eating and Christmas movies. Yeah, we love the Griswalds! So, that about covers it. I have good intentions of not ever neglecting my poor blog again. We'll see if I can stick to it.
