Hall table finished; getting ready for Christmas Eve; we now own an awesome mop!

Wow. The crazy multi-tagged post with a bunch of stuff that normally doesn't fit together. In short form: I finished the hall table, and now Jenny and I are getting ready for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We're hosting my family on Christmas Eve, and Jenny's family on Christmas Day. It should be fun.

New Stove Continued

I simply ran out of time when I was writing my last entry, then I got busy with a bunch of stuff. Now here I am with some time on a fine Saturday evening. So here continues the tale of the new stove.

New Stove

Well, several hours after the saga began, it is finally finished. Our new stove is installed, fully tested and adjusted. Read on for the gory details.

Jonathan is GEEKED!

I am completely geeked. Jenny and I had decided to volunteer to host Christmas Eve dinner for my family (we do a version of the Polish Wigilia). I was already really excited that they agreed, and we've been getting things ready for that. Then Jenny suggested that we invite her parents for Christmas Day. In the past, we have always celebrated Christmas Eve at my parents' house and Christmas Day at her parents' house.

Hall Table Almost Finished

I just lost this entire entry because I'm dumb sometimes. ARGH. Here we go again....

Today was a good shop day. The hall table is almost ready for finishing. Today was drawer day, and fortunately, I didn't do anything as stupid as I did just a few minutes ago when I lost this entry. :)

Christmas Fun Stuff

We've been having a fun weekend here at the Jenny and Jonathan homestead. All kinds of stuff has been happening, and now we're about dead tired.

Christmas Tree 2008!

Our Tree

It's been a busy couple of weeks here at the Jenny and Jonathan household. We've been bouncing all over the place doing Thanksgiving stuff, working on stuff for the house, and being generally busy. Today was great fun, though.

We had decided a while ago to go out this weekend to get our Christmas tree. We were unable to get a big tree last Christmas because we had just finished the living room a week or so before Christmas Day, so we were both eagerly anticipating this Christmas when we could get a big tree again.
