A very Merry Christmas


I just realized that this never posted! Oh, boo. Thanks for taking a family pic, Dad!!! And Owen finally made a decent face for this one. :)


We had a very Merry Christmas - lots of nice gifts for all and plenty of time with family. It's a little sad that it's all over. It seems like we just got the decorations all out and now it's time to think about packing it all back up. The kids are thrilled with all of their new toys - they're having a blast playing with everything. Happy New Year!

Cool Video

They played this video at the fire department party on Friday night - pretty cool.

Monday...Monday...Monday?!

Another week begins...there's a ton of snow, it's freezing, and the pile of work on my desk is ginormous. Oh, and Christmas is in 2 weeks. Yikes!

I'm doing very well on my shopping. I've more than overspent on the kids (surprise?!) and have made a nice dent in the adult shopping on my list. I do need to get some ideas for Brian - what to buy for the guy who wants nothing?

The boys and I spent a nice day visiting friends and family yesterday. It had been months since we'd seen Kristin - this lunch was long overdue. We had a great time chatting and catching up. And Kristin introduced me to my new favorite restaurant. OK, PF Chang is still my #1, but this was just as good and about 1/3 the price. YUM! (The kids were not impressed)

We then headed over to visit with Grammie and Grandpa - I had photos of the boys to drop off. They were decorating their tree, so we hung out and chatted with them, and we got ourselves invited to dinner. Free food is always a bonus, but free chicken divan is extra-super-duper-ultra awesome!

We're back to the grind...but add in the holiday prep of planning menus, baking cookies, wrapping gifts, and finishing the shopping. I wish that I had a trip to Florida to look forward to.
