More Ramblings about the past Few Days

Son #1 passed his drivers test on Wednesday and can now drive off in the car without me. 

 Scary.

On the baby front, he is taking his time showing his face. 

His grandma (my sister)  is there until after Christmas - maybe that's why he's taking his time.

I have bought zero Christmas gifts to-date. 

 My friend is finished.

 Hearing this puts me in a panic.

We have spent nearly $10,000 in dental work this year between the two boys. 

 Now the vet says Archie the dog needs dental work. This will set us back nearly $2300.

 Does anyone else do this or am I being scammed?

I made vinetarta last weekend. Son #2 announced that he'd forgotten just how delicious it was and how much he loved it. 

For those of you who are unfamiliar, vinetarta is an 8 layered Icelandic cake.
 My gramma (Arnebjorg Bjarnarson) used to make it at Christmas and now I do too. 

We love it!

 Compared to other Icelandic delicacies like roast goat or blood pudding this is a very gentle nod to the Icelandic traditions.

Every year we go to the hills and cut down a Christmas tree.  This year The Husband thinks we should cut one down that grows in our yard near  the driveway.  

First the Advent Calendar, now the tree - I see Christmas traditions crumbling around me.

I was going to post a picture of it but Blogger tells me I have gone over my "quota" and now need to purchase space. 
Really?
I walked down the driveway and through shrubery in my slippers! to take the picture 
So from this post on Words Only!

The Volunteer Fire Dept is having their annual Christmas party this Saturday.  

We do Secret Santa after dinner.  There is a $15.00 limit and most of the gifts are fun, useful or alcoholic.  

My friend bought a candle making kit where one uses his own penis to make the mold.
