Brandon and Ben got these hover remote control things from Josh for Christmas. They love them. Faith loves to run around the house and chase them. Shelby ( the dog) does not like them she thinks she needs to knock them down and squash them. Goofy dog. Anyways the boys have been occupying some time playing with those. Also Brandon got a mega shark rig that he has been enjoying in the bathtub. Plus they have been playing with the V-smile. They are still kinda wearing me out though. I think I am coming down with something. That is always the way it works for me. I plan everything to a T even sometimes it seems like I plan being sick. I always seem to get sick when they are out of school.

Merry Christmas!!! We had an early start to our morning. I think we were up about 5:30. The kids pretty much got everything they wanted. We then went to moms for a delicious early lunch. And we are now back home enjoying all of our wonderful gifts.

We are still holding strong. No giving in on this end. Brandon asked if they were really good can they open one present before bed. We will have to discuss that with dad when he gets home from work. Today I am making all of my goodies. Since we will be up at the crack of dawn and need to be at moms house tomorrow by 10. I am getting really excited. My stocking was filled with goodies last night and I was told no peeking. Also my presents were wrapped last night by Brandon. I guess he got a little overwhelmed but he finished them. We will make cookies tonight for Santa they picked out ones with reeses pieces in them. Might have to sample those.

Pie Anyone?

Today we spent about 7 hours making our desserts. We made homemade cherry pies. I had to pit 8 cups of cherries. Boy my hands hurt and we made a homemade apple pie. Atleast Josh was home to occupy the kids a bit. Tomorrow we will do the rest of our food. That was enough for today. WWWHHEEWW

Well we made it to see Santa and we only had to stand in line for 45 minutes. He was the sweetest Santa we ever had so it was so worth the wait. We were afraid Faith would freak out being at the almost 2 age but she did not she popped right up on his lap and just stared at him. We didnt get a smile but that was ok.
I stood in line and held our place and first Josh took Brandon and Ben to pick me out a Christmas present. Then he came back and took Faith and left Brandon and Ben and took my present to the car. So he kind of kept the kids busy.
We almost forgot to go see Santa this year and Monday night Brandon was like mommy we need to go see Santa this year. We have just been so busy that I didnt make that a priority but we took care of it last night and everyone is now happy.

So yesterday evening we had our Christmas get together with Brandi and Brianna. We had lasagna, salad, bread and oreo cheesecake. Yummy. The kids got to open their gifts and were really excited. It seems my kids are getting everything they are asking for this year. Or should I say everything they were asking for a few weeks ago. Brandon comes up with something NEW that he wants everyday. But the shopping is done. Completely. Everything is wrapped no changing your mind. I have a very busy week going on but it is all fun stuff. Brandon has a music concert Thursday and I am helping decorate for that Thursday morning. Both kids have Christmas parties on Friday so I will be attending both. Not to mention the boyscout meeting, swimming lessons and everything else. Should be a fun and entertaining week. Hope everyone is enjoying the snow.

Day # 2 without school. I was kind of surprised we never cancel school. I am glad the kids got all those early Christmas presents to keep them occupied. Also one day last week I went to the library and got alot of books. The kids have been walking on the treadmill in the morning. So cute. They wanna be like mommy and daddy. Or maybe I should say they dont wanna look like mommy and daddy. Hehe. Got to prepare ourselves for all the eating coming up soon. Can you believe it is almost Christmas. My kids are so excited. Hopefully the weather gets better soon so all of the special activities that are planned dont get cancelled.

What a weekend. So Josh is on vacation till the 21st. Terri my mother in law was off for a few days so we decided to go down to their house this weekend to spend an early Christmas with them. We headed out Friday after Brandon got out of school. Got their about 7:00. Had our Christmas on Saturday the kids got lots of presents. They were super excited. Watched lots of movies and ate lots of cookies and pies and stuff.
So Sunday morning I hear thunder, and ice, the electricity was going on and off. It got really really bad. A tree fell on their house, one fell on the carport. We had to leave early so we could make it home. It was really bad weather until we got about half way home. But we made it. It was an adventure for sure. They are still without electricity. That is not fun.
