• I didn't wake up that early this morning, but it was at least 3 hours before I saw anyone else awake in this house. I did my laundry and dishes, and then sat down and read some. Eventually, I had myself some hot chocolate. 
• Once I tried hot tea thinking that I would like that, and it would be a bit healthier than hot chocolate. Unfortunately, tea was not at all for me. I actually had intentions of making cinnamon rolls today, and yes, the people probably would have wake up about the time that they were finished, but I just couldn't bring myself to make them. 
• Robby and I took Reagan's car and the minivan to go and get some gas. Then we went to Kroger where I found a few Christmas stocking thing. And let's talk Christmas presents really quickly-I don't buy a ton for Christmas, but all I have done for the last few days is buy things. It is ridiculous, and when the delivery men all start showing up, it will be even more ridiculous. The other day actually, the UPS man and the Amazon man were both in the driveway at the same time. 
• We came home and watched the football game-I helped Campbell make another stencil for her sign, the girls and I did some amazon shopping, Keaton made cookies, and I was even able to take a nap during the game. Actually, I had two naps-one at the beginning of the game and one at the end.
• When we finally lost, Campbell, Keaton, Robby, and I went to eat supper. We brought everyone here some things home as well. Then Robby did some work on Reagan's computer while Campbell resumed her sign painting. 
• Once again Campbell has spent much of the day working on her birthday sign. It is impressive-really, better than impressive. At one time she joked about selling it, but now I don't think that you could pay her enough money at all to make and sell one. 
• Currently, Campbell is trying to teach Reagan how to pick up Bentley. Campbell and Keaton pick Bentley up like a lap dog and carry her around the house, but Reagan can't do that. Bentley is a very good sport about all of this.
• I am sitting in my chair with my hood on and a blanket, but I am a wee bit chilly in this house. I do love winter, but maybe I'm just not ready for it quite yet.
