The aftermath

Well, one holiday down, one to go. I have to admit, I spent Black Friday decorating the tree. It was nice and relaxing after having a house full of people for Thanksgiving. We may do a little decorating today and go see Santa at the mall. Low key, I like it.

Last night we also went to scout a couple of the teams we're playing this year. (See, no matter how hard I try, I can't get away from b-ball. Scouting over Thanksgiving holiday...now that's LOVE.) They were both playing in a tournament. Claire and I went through the Thanksgiving ads to pick out things she may want this year while Coach taped the games. I sure hope Santa has an additional job that pulls down some bucks! Actually, Santa is close to being done. Close but not finished. Let's just say that Mrs. Claus, much like (VERY much like) Mrs. Coach, is a smart woman. She always leaves room in the budget for the last minute...I need this or I might DIE gifts. Everything, apparently, is dramatic in the life of a six year old girl. Actually, from having been around the b-ball team, and being a girl, I would say that there is a little drama in every woman. So, Mr. Claus, there is this great perfume gift certificate at Sephora...it's really neat...you get to choose your own scent and everything...and if I don't get it...well...something DRAMATIC might just happen...  

Did you leave room in the budget...Santa?
