Christmas Eve we went to our friend's house and exchanged gifts with them, had dinner and played games.
Christmas Day was spent lounging around at home, and then we met with Tall Boy's brother and his family and exchanged gifts with them. We had the traditional Ham dinner...it was YUMMY!
Some of the favorite gifts were:
Super Girl- Doll with pacifier from Santa and Dress up Chest
Super Boy- Dora Candy Land Computer Game from Santa and digital camera
Tall Boy- 20 piece screwdriver set, 60 piece socket set & Ticket To Ride Game
Scrap Happy Mommy- Journey Necklace from Santa & New Cookbook
Family- Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader Card Game
For New Year's Eve Tall Boy and I got a very special treat, Gma offered to watch the kids for 4 days while we went away to a hotel on a lake! We had so much fun just relaxing playing games and SLEEPING! It was a much needed get away.
Then this past weekend I went away with Super Girl. We went to see my sister in California who is VERY PREGNANT! Gma and Gpa were SO HAPPY to see Super Girl (and they tolerated my presence as well). I went to a baby shower, had dinner with old high school friends, did some shopping, saw a friend I hadn't seen in almost 10 years, went to church with the parents and saw some more familiar faces, had a family get together with all my brother's and sister (except one out of state brother) and most of their kids, then went to a group with my mom and listened to some stories about some very interesting people from the past, had a great lunch, packed my things and flew home! It was a great trip, but it was EXHAUSTING! I was ALMOST grateful to get back to my usual duties. Although I wasn't pleased about the state of my home when I returned! NO ONE DID ANY DISHES OR LAUNDRY WHILE I WAS GONE! Talk about a nice homecoming gift! So I have spent the past couple of days trying to catch up.
So that's it in a nut shell! Hope that catches you up for now!

im so sorry that you had a bad homecoming but at least you had a good trip right.
well what in the world was Tall Boy thinkin'?? I guess after leaving dishes and laundry for you to do, that means Tall Boy owes you a BONUS "girls night" right? ;) ;)
It must have been nice to get away for a few days for New Year's!
Sorry about all the dishes waiting for you from your California trip! At leat you got to take a break though, right? I think I would have still chosen the trip.
Oh, I meant to tell you. Alicia, our old roommate got married a few weeks ago! I saw her wedding pictures and she was sooooo pretty!
I think the clock must have stopped ticking for her, because she still looked nineteen to me...
