I have no idea what to write about today.  It is just one of the gray days that stomps on my creativity and motivation.  So I am just going to wing it.  Bear with me folks.

CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS:

• I am so close to being done with my shopping.  Only a couple of stocking stuffers for my husband.  
• I am putting together an amazing costume for THE CHRISTMAS PARTY OF THE YEAR that is being held this Saturday.  I am attempting a leg lamp costume.  I will post pictures once complete!
• My husband will be going as himself.  My Dad got to him!  He encouraged Kevin to take a stand and just say no to Christmas costumes.  His reasoning - if they dress up for this Christmas party, then we will start making them dress up on every holiday including Easter, Thanksgiving, Martin Luther King Day Jr., etc.
• Kaci is going to be a snowman.
• Erickson version of Elf on the Shelf - I was too cheap to spend the $29.99 for the original Elf on the Shelf.  However, while on the hunt for some items needed for my leg lamp costume, I came across a creepy little elf for $1.99.  Bargain!  Here he is in action:

• We had to buy new lights for our tree this year.  Does anyone else agree that the LED lights are a little too disco-ish for the holidays?

KACI:

• Her new favorite thing is to have her nails painted.  We paint, blow dry, paint other hand, blow dry, paint a foot, blow dry, paint the other foot.  Works pretty well!

• New party dress and boots!

• Crazy hair day!
