Happy Monday Everyone! it's partly sunny here this morning with temperatures above the freezing mark. Looks like a decent day ahead.
This past Thursday was my son in laws birthday and it's usually either on Thanksgiving or a few days before or after the holiday. So, it kind of gets lost but we do have a birthday cake on Thanksgiving and sing the birthday song.
This year Thanksgiving is a week later so my daughter invited us over for dinner to celebrate his birthday (yesterday). She made a roast beef, mashed potatoes and sides. It was a delicious dinner and I could tell he was happy that his birthday wasn't squashed into the usual Thanksgiving celebrating.
The weekend was busy and my house is a mess. The Christmas tree is up but not decorated. All the containers with the decorations are in the dining room and little by little this week I'll be decorating. Getting the tree done first is my priority and then the other little things I put out come later.
That's what my week ahead is looking like....making side dishes to bring for Thanksgiving on Thursday and getting the house decorated for Christmas.
It's starting to feel like the holidays!!

Me too. Seems the easiest way to finish the tree and then most of the containers can be put away

I'll be happy when the tree is all decorated and everything else done and put away. Meanwhile I have a few days to deal with the mess.

Well, happy birthday to your sil, and yes, it does seem to be a nice day with the sun shining but it's only 5°C here and rain is still predicted today and tomorrow.
When I was in Hamilton the past few days, I cut a nice pine branch for my 'tree' but haven't fully decorated it. And it looks like I have to straighten it up some.
