Here are our hosts playing Wii.
The rest of the weekend was either spend working or relaxing. We watched lots of movies, including Blood Diamond, Bridge to Tarabithia, and The Departed...all good. We also managed to decorate the house (inside and out) for Christmas.
Here are the outside lights and the mantel complete with stockings.
Also spent so time reading and being inspired to read more...firs, let me say that I will, I repeat, I will have Atlas Shrugged read by January 1st! I am determined!
A friend recently posted a blog about creating a reading list for all those books you have been meaning to read, but never have - I subsequently also have a movie list that I will post another time...The idea is to pick a book a month. Here are mine - feel free to help me fill in the blanks by suggesting books that you think I would like, or like yourself.
January: Desert Solitaire - Edward Abbey
February: Crash - Jerry Spinelli
March: Angela's Ashes - Frank McCurt
April: Slaughterhouse Five - Kurt Vonnegut
May: Hoot - Carl Hiaasen
June:
July: How to Live Well Without Owning a Car - Chirs Balish
August: The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands (for Aaron and our anniversary) - Dr. Laura
September:
October: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - Mark Twain
November: Profiles in Courage - John F. Kennedy
December: The Catcher and the Rye - J D Salinger
On another note...I am going to be an aunt again! The new addition, scheduled to arrive in August brings the Denja tribe to a total of 7 (mom and dad) and 5 nieces and nephews! No need for Aaron and I to have any of our own, we have enough fun with the family.
Looking forward to Christmas in just a few short weeks...

Ahem...slackers. Bringing our count up to five is not meant to be a distraction for the two of you. Just because you are related to "breeders" doesn't let you off the hook! LOL

I would love to be an uncle! You can bet I'd come to SC for that.
p.s. Atlas Shrugged, the movie is supposed to be released next year too.
WOAH! Lots of news. I'm excited about the reading list...and another niece for you to nurture!
What book is Aaron reading for you?! ;)
ooops...i guess it could be another *nephew* for you to nurture!
