On the Fourth and Fifth Day of Christmas

On the fourth and fifth day of Christmas Patty's true love gave to her....

A pedicure and a manicure. We went to our local mexican/korean nail joint to get our nails done. What a great time. After Patty was on the phone the whole timw with family and friends (this was ok becasue I was the only person there that spoke english who could undrstand her). Patty and I decided that she did a good job of not loud talking. If this would have been me on the other hand there would have been alot of angry people in there becasue my voice doesn't carry or anything. :) After Patty's pedicure the lady asked if she would like to get a manicure as well. Patty looked over to me and I said that she could get one, but since I was along for the ride I was unsure if I had to get one as well. But I didn't so I was safe. I had no idea how to use the foot drying machine so after about five minutes of just sitting there with the machine npot being on the lady came over ans started it for me. I was kind of embasrressed, but it was funny none the less. It is the last thing that any normal guy would know how to do. This was a great time!!!

Patty could not let me finish without mentioning how good my troll feet have turned out since the pedicure. I was suprised the lady wanted to do my feet anyway. She tried to get out ig it by doing another ladies nails first, but I waited and she cringed and evntually gave in to the troll powers. Patty will acutally look at my feet now. Next Step, get them nice enought for her to kiss them. bunup chi!

The fifth day of Christmas Patty's true love gave to her...sugar cookies to decorate.

Patty and I after an afternoon of the multicultural nail expeience had a cookie buliding time. We made about three dozen cookies. We actually decorated about two dozen since the cookie monster lives in this house. I will give you one guess who it is and it isnt Patty. Patty made me a cookie that says "I Love Caleb" That is becasue she does! She is my favorite.

We had alot of extra icing that we ate at the end. Lets just say that we opted out of Desert at dinner, and for the rest of the year. But man it was good.

On the Third day of Christmas...

On the Third day of Christmas Patty's true love gave to her a walk down Fifth Avenue with a little Hot Chocolate.

This Saturday Patty and I took a walk down fifth avenue to see the store fronts and windows.

Highlights:

The Naughty Santa Rally - there were a bunch of drunk Santas out that were dresses scantily and diversely. Gay Santa was a hit this year, which is disappointing.

The Crouded sidewalks - Saturday, December, 5th Avenue, Walking. What do all these collectively have in common. Patty's walking road rage! Ha!

The Rockefeller Center - This was fun. The tree is beautiful this year as always.

Hot Chocolate - This was my favorite part nice and warm.

On the Second Day of Chirstmas...

On the second day of Christmas Patty's True love gave to her a movie night with the Grinch!

Patty mentioned to me that her favorite Christmas movie was the "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." Patty and I enjoyed a wonderful night at home watching her movie. It was simple and sweet. The only thing eventful was expected, I fell asleep durnong the movie and almost drooled on Patty's head. Anyone that knows me knows that this is not a surprise.

On the First day of Chirstmas....

On the first day of Christmas Patty's true love gave to her, a Giant Christmas Tree!!!!

Patty and I went to our local Mexican ran Canadian Christmas tree outlet on the corner. I had to speak Spanish to the guy, the only word that I know is Spanish in "Taunenbaum" oh yeah that is German, so we were out of luck, good thing we could just point. Since Patty and I have such a mansion of an apartment we had chose the biggest tree on the lot, a 6 foot tall and 3 feet wide whopper. (It barely fit in the door btw) Once we got it home we had to find a place for it. After rearranging out entire mansion we finally found a place for our mammoth tree. Oh yeah I almost forgot, we did not have a tree skirt, so we stopped at the local CVS to get out $2.99 tree skirt which actually costs $7.99 in New York. We decided that the tree skirt is going o be our cheap family tradition similar to the Howland family star. Patty posing in her short skirt :)


After our splendid outing in the windy winter wonderland of New York for our Canadian/Mexican/Trans-American Christmas tree. We had a wonderful night of decorating our wonderful little Christmas tree. There are some events that should never be forgotton, decorating your first Christmas tree with your beautiful spouse is one of them. (Just so you know the beautiful one is me! :) ).



Merry Christmas!

12 Days of Christmas

One tradition that is unmistakably "Allen" is the "12 days of Christmas". Although I have never participated in the fun and exciting activity, I have heard that there is never a dull moment when the 12 days of Christmas breaks out at the Christmas Party. Patty and I will be spending this Chritmans in New York and I could not leave her without this glorious family tradition. I created a board with stockings to represent the 12 days, under each is an activity of present for Patty Sue and I to do. Some will fun activities others might be a challenge for Patty and I to accomplish. So catch all the fun, exciting, emabrissing, and spectaculare events that will unfold this Christmas in the Howland home in NYC.
