Wii Daddy!

Here's some pictures of our family Christmas Eve celebration that was a blast as usual! Good food + good friends(and family) = GREAT time!!

Love ya all - thanks for the gifts and more importantly - the memories!!

Here are also some pictures of Christmas morning. We obviously had a great day that is beyond words, and another "best Christmas ever" was had by all!!
Poor Socks was tuckered out and climbed into the forbidden white chair to snuggle with her new toy "squirrel".

Tomorrow Rob and the girls are headed to MA on the train. They plan on leaving here at 6:30am for the 8am train. They'll be there by 9:30!! I can't go (lots of tears shed over this one from more than just me!!) because its my weekend to work. They both have their digital cameras and told me they'd take lots of pictures. I know they'll have a blast with their grandparents, aunts, uncle and cousin! No worries there!! They plan on coming home Saturday night! I can't wait to hear the stories and see the pictures!

MERRY Wii

WE'VE GOT POWER

Just rec'd a text message from Robyn that we have power!!! YIPEEE!!!

Now, its really pathedic to think that we only went 1 day without power and barely survived - we really need to do something about that. We really don't watch a lot of TV or have any video games, so why was it such a problem? Must of been not having a bathroom!!! LOL

Just some whining.....

I still don't feel good and don't (can't) fully trust the stomach. We've been without power for a day you can only play so many games, charades and crafts in the limited daylight. And its only been a day!!!! (course I'm only 1 out of 190,000 w/out power) I'm at work so Robbie has them the next 2 days, which they say we may not have power until Monday or Tuesday. Which means my freezer has gone to waste. I vacuum daily and already having withdrawals on that. Not to mention the laundry piling up. Again, its only been 1 day w/out the power so far! I can't sleep at night because I have to have a fan running to sooth me to sleep, Robbie's extra loud snoring didn't help any! Its cold. I can't get in the Christmas spirit to decorate, didn't get my shopping done because I was sick. Can't this weekend because I work all weekend. Explorer needs new ball joints or something a rather, which means over $500 worth of parts, the plus on that is Robbie can do it himself.

There, I feel a tad bit better whining and feeling sorry for myself!!!! Time to move forward!!!

Golden slippers

Elizabeth picked out a dress for the ambulance christmas party and for her "winter" choral concert (not allowed to say Christmas in school). It has gold in it and insisted she needed gold shoes. However when we went shopping, we couldn't find any. Thank goodness for internet, payless and UPS! I found some and they arrived, as a surprise, for her yesterday. She was thrilled!! However, the party was rescheduled from tonight until Sunday night do to the ice storm we are suppose to get. So you'll see pictures of the outfit all put together, including gold purse, then. Here's a slight preview - shoes only!

This week I had the stomach flu, I pray I'm the only one in the house that will get it. If not, hopefully they'll get it this weekend........cause I work all weekend! Oh, that was mean of me!! But the flu is going around the ER, and now the rest of the hospital. Watch out Auntie and Uncle Mark!!!

Finally some pictures

I finally found my card for my camera. How it got taken out and placed elsewhere is way beyond me!! Must of been gremlins! Anyways..........here's a few pictures from Thanksgiving


Turkey and turkey! LOL
Tiz set the table for us

Keeping the food warm

Here's some pictures of the snow flurries we are getting today, and also of the dog and cat enjoying the woodstove heat!

Finally....here's some of the items we got for a 15yr old girl. I grabbed her tag off my works "giving tree". She wants make up and jewelry. So Robyn and I went and grabbed some stuff at Rite Aid yesterday. I did this in lew of not getting my act in gear to do a shoe box. Procrasinator is my middle name, not Allyson as some think!

I love Christmas music

I absolutely LOVE Christmas music and my radio station in the car is set to the station that plays it 24/7 until Christmas.

So I had to change my playlist to Christmas songs, Jim Brickman is one of my many favorite artists. I had to throw in Amazing Grace on the bagpipes - just because its beautiful!

Enjoy!!!
