Up to speed..

Wow. What a busy past few days it has been around here! We had a blessed Christmas and I hope that you did too! Christmas Eve we made a gingerbread house, played games, ate pizza and watched movies. We do that every year! Everyone get new jammies too. See the peeps in their new jammies...flashing we are so cool signs!! They are weird-comes from their dad's side I am sure.

Christmas morning Skipper got up at 5:15 AM. We made him wait till everyone else was up...which was about 5:30-5:45! Have you figured out yet that I am not really a morning person?? In case you haven't..I'm not...at all. Which is why there are no pictures of me here!!

We opened gifts and then Mr. Dad (who is the BEST cook in the whole world) made a big breakfast for us! Uncle J, Auntie S, little C, momma and daddy then came over and the boys opened more gifts! We played around most of the day and then headed over to Aunt R's house for dinner and more presents. 

We had a lot of fun there! We always do. We tried to take a picture of all of us girls..but someone crashed the picture....we are all about maturity in my family!! 

I got a new dryer! I guess I have completely embraced the domestic side!! I was thrilled..seeing where the old dryer didn't seem to understand that its job was to actually dry the clothes..hence the name dryer!! I also got a scanner/copier/clothes folder for Christmas. Ok, just kidding about the clothes folder part..but wouldn't that be nice?? Thank you Mom and Dad and Denvard and Ellen!!

I also was lucky enough to get together with some "old" friends. We met for dinner at 7 and ended up getting home about 12:30. Lots of laughter and catching up and also news of friends that have passed away in the past 18 years. We had a great time and it was great to see that really no one has changed that much!! 

Skeeter is now +48 hours with out his paci. He needs a paci fix-bad. He is doing alright..a little more whiny than usual..but I guess that is to be expected!! The dog plucked that baby's paci right out of his mouth and RAN! By the time they were found he had chewed it down to a nub. So instead of waiting till his birthday next month...it appears now is the time. 

By the way...did you catch that part about his birthday? He will be 3 next month. I am in denial!! I can not believe that he will be 3. My baby. My 'B'. Impossible! That day is also my birthday...but I am in even more denial about that!! I think it is time to renounce birthdays!! Who's with me?? I mean when you share a birthday with one of your children..you kind of get over looked anyway..so this would just make it official!!

I am working on some New Year's Resolutions! Isn't that a mandatory thing you have to do so you can feel bad about not doing what it was you said that you were going to do thing??

Happy Monday to you...hope it is a great one!
