Where has this day gone?

Mark's already been gone to get Emma and is back again. I've squandered away countless minutes (dare I say hours) in front of the food network. Now Katie and Mark have gone out for a bit of Christmas shopping and then when they get back we're gonna put up the Christmas tree, simmer some cider and load Christmas Vacation into the VCR. (It's a tradition, we always play that movie while putting up the tree).

Pictures to follow, to be sure. Life is goooood.
