Happy New Year!

This is my favorite Christmas gift. Thank you kids for this fun and special calendar. We had a quiet New Years Eve. Ordered pizza for Me, Dad, Molly, Danny and Jeanie. I was bored and almost ready for bed at 9:00 but decided to tackle my filing cabinet. It's been on my "to do" list for some time. (1 or 2 years?) Did that feel good! I had my trusty "side kick" Jeanie standing next to me shredding papers as fast as I handed them to her. Three garbage bags of shredded paper and a couple hours later we were done! Yay!!! A great start to the New Year! We got dumped on last night. About 10 inches of snow. Dad took pictures with his new camera. When he downloads them I'll post them.

Christmas Eve Pictures

Jeanie was all excited Christmas morning and had to show me "Santa's sleigh tracks". The Christmas Eve party turned out real well. I was afraid we were going to be pretty crowded but it wasn't too bad. The pizzas arrived at 6:00 and we started eating right away. So as the next group arrived, the previous one was done. There were some lively ping-pong games going on in the basement so that took lots of big bodies out of the living room! We played a few lively games of Guesstures. Dad, Chuck, myself and even Auntie Linda did a couple rounds! Kim was the winner. She was amazing. I swear she guessed before they even starting acting out the word!!

365 Days Until Christmas

After all the hustle and bustle, it's all over. Danny put a little reminder on the board yesterday of what this celebration is all about. We had a very nice Christmas. We hung Danny's "Snow Monster", I mean Snowman.
A few of the usual Christmas morning pictures. Danny actually "loved" everything he got. Even his clothes!! It was kind of funny though, because he was hoping for a X-Box 360. Before every gift, he would cross his fingers, legs, arms and eyes for good luck and say, "I hope it's a X-Box 360......It didn't matter the size of the package. From the smallest to the biggest. Needless to say, he didn't get one. He was a tad disappointed but got over it pretty quick.

Dad was excited to get his Trail-Cam from you kids. LOOK.....the very first "animal" captured with the trail-cam!
