"On the ninth day of Christmas...mi mi mi mi mi mi!"

Last night we were listening to a Muppets Christmas tape (one of my favorites!) and on that part the green guy with the glasses and Beaker, the muppet that can only say "Mi" were singing. Its our favorite part. We finally got our tree up last night! It looks so beautiful all lit up. We listened to our Muppets album, part of our tradition, and I made chocolate chip cookies while Jessie wrestled with the tree limbs. Then he ate his while I wrestled with the lights and somehow, Lily and I managed to wrap him up in lights when he came and sat down beside the tree! It was pretty funny. Lily was "helping" with the lights. We had fun. They are just like me when it comes to being in awe of the Christmas tree. They always want it to be lit up, and they just look at all of the ornaments over and over. Its so sweet.
Tomorrow it is supposed to turn cold. I wish it would wait until the weekend was over, but oh well. We've got a pretty full weekend. My work Christmas party is Friday night, and then Seth's birthday party is Saturday. My poor mother has an even fuller weekend. She has to be in the Christmas parade Saturday morning. I'm sorry Mama! Hopefully by Sunday my voice will be back to normal so I can go to choir practice. I didn't even go last week because I pretty much sounded like a frog. Its getting better though. I'm excited about doing our Christmas Cantata on Christmas Eve morning. Last Christmas I was late!! I could've kicked myself! But this year, I will be on time if I have to spend the night at the church!
