Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Wishing you all the very best for 2007 and hope you all had a fabulous Holidays. I can't believe how fast Christmas came and went. Our Christmas was really nice. We Celebrated with Brian's family on the 24th as usual complete with turkey dinner and Santa. The kids got a ton of great stuff and Brian and I didn't do to bad either! Christmas morning was quiet; Just the 4 of us at home in the morning, a visit to my sisters in the early afternoon and then a really awesome dinner at my Uncles house...We really couldn't ask for anything more. The only thing missing was my Mom and Dad. We missed them and were thinking of them! New Years Eve was also very quiet for us. We spent the night at home with a small buffet of appetizers and snacks in front of the T.V. and struggled to make it to midnight (we don't seem to have a problem staying up until 11:30 or 12:oo on a week night!) New Years day was spent trying to clear a path through the house and putting all the new stuff away (easily the worst part of Christmas) then off to Brians Mom and Dad's house for dinner and Birthday Cake- Yes, Brian's Dad was a New Years Baby in 1949! Now everything is pretty much back to normal; well as normal as this house has ever seen. Nicholas is missing school and his friends and I am trying to find a balance of keeping the 3 kids entertained through the day and trying to get a few things accomplished (like laundry) with out being boring. Only 6 more sleeps and school will be back in session. Hmm...what else is new?? Brian and I purchased a new coffee table, TV stand and kitchen table and Chairs (8)- Merry Christmas to us!! hee hee. I am very excited about this as we have never had new, always hand-me-downs or borrowed pieces. I heard some great news today; My cousin Michelle got engaged to her now fiance Roger on Christmas Eve!! Congratulations to you guys..we send our hugs and kisses. Maybe my new years resolution can be to keep everyone updated on more often on this blog site. Well, until then....take care everyone.
