I'm back
















I really wanted to do more blog updates throughout Christmas, but our internet went out for a few days, so I need to play catch up. Our Christmas was magical....like always. On Christmas Eve, Eve we went to Tod and Jessica's for Hot Chocolate and to play in the snow. They live in Elbe and had alot of it. It was really fun. On Christmas Eve we had our dinner. I made the Turkey, it wasn't my best, but it was still good. Tod, Jessica and Ben weren't supposed to be there, but were able to make it since Jessica's family's dinner was cancelled due to weather. We woke up around 5:30am, none of us really slept at all. We were joined by Scott's Dad Jerry who arrived promptly at 6am. The big gifts were: Scott was given a 12 guage shotgun by me, The girls got the Wii from us, and Scott bought me the Wii Fit. We love it. That is pretty much what we have been doing for the past 3 days. Then of course we had to run to the store to get more Wii accessories, and so the girls could spend their gift cards. All in all it was a wonderful holiday, and I am looking forward to spending New Year's with the family. I am sure there will be a Wii tournament. Have a Safe and Happy New Year!

I love how you captured Christmas morning. AND Willie never disappoints in that santa suit does he? Did you get the usual wake-up too?

Well this year we had to wait for Tod, Jessica and Ben to get here. So we lounged around at our house and then went to Mom and Dad's for breakfast. When Tod and jessica got here, then Willy Claus emerged from his green room.

Bailey was the lucky girl to find the Easter Egg hidden in a "fresh pile". He tends to do that every year!
