It's beginning to look a lot (or at least a little) like Christmas

[auntiemeesh]

I was so wrong about the Pens' performance tonight. They lit up the scoreboard all the way through. Malkin got a hat trick and five points total. Fleury won his 200th game (the fourth youngest player in NHL history to reach that milestone). Simon Depres (one of our hot young prospects, usually playing in Wilkes-Barre) got his first NHL goal. Final score, 8-3 Pens.

To keep myself busy during the game, I started working on some festive decorations for the apartment, working with what I already have on hand. I came up with this fella:



He still needs boots and I'll probably add some snowflakes or something to the door as well. I suspect that as the week wears on, I'll come up with some other things for the rest of the place, as well.

Of course, that sort of thing tends to be a bit messy, so my nice clean living room is a bit trashed again. I guess I should clean up after myself somewhere along the line, here.

Poor Mal. He just noticed some of the Christmas decorations I put up earlier and he's a bit freaked out by them. Such a weird little guy. But I love him, lots, anyway.

Adorable snowman! And he's wearing the Penguins' baby blue jersey color; you could totally give him a skating-logo-penguin on his cap :D

Lol. I'll have to work on that. My mandate so far has been Simplicity Rules.

Lovely decoration. He looks very festive.

Thanks. Luckily, snowmen are pretty easy!

I love your snowman, and I'm so glad that the Pens pulled through for you!

I hope that you (and Mal and Zoe) enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Mal and Zoe seem pretty content to curl up and sleep the weekend away. It makes me wish I could nap like that, and still sleep at night.

Happy Snowman!

And then I can make a pond for him to be skating on. :)

Very festive looking! Hockey style snowman would be great, but ordinary snowman would be fine also.

Hmmm, I might have to make some sort of Caps-wings ornament for my tree. It's already full of bird ornaments, so the eagle wings would be on-theme.

It's fun to get some fannish stuff in the mix there. :)
