Another Christmas come and gone

We had a great Christmas this year. We were blessed with a little extra money so everyone got exactly what they wanted. Shelby and Koty asked for a Nintendo DS and Santa brought it to them. Lacey asked for My Little Ponies Skate Park and Santa brought that plus another Ponies Amusement Park. She loves them. Everyone got clothes and games. The family got Rockband game for the Wii. That has been a blast. Courtney got socks and underwear plus some of her bills paid off by us. She has been on Santa's bad list, unfortunately. I got Larry an electric wet/dry shaver, some jeans and cologne. He got me a Garmin Nuvi gps, exactly what I wanted. It will make it so much easier to deliver avon and find host homes for Pampered Chef shows. Grandpa Smith came over in the afternoon. He didn't seem himself. I think he was a little down. We got him a dvd player and a movie, some peanuts, and a framed picture of our family. Now today, the day after, everyone is quiet and into their own video games. I told them not the get used to it because the 1 hour electronics rule would go into effect on Monday. I'm so mean. lol! They also got books from santa so they need to read those too.
Everyone had a great Christmas.

It's the middle of Dec. already?

Gosh, I can finally take a breath. The last 2 months have been so hectic. I think I've had something to do or some appointment every single day. I've been planning parties for the 2nd grade and planning meetings for the Daisy troop. We've been to some Girlscout activities. I've had 3 girl scout trainings and 1 boyscout training. Larry and I went to a Christmas party that the fire department held. It was nice but a little boring for me. Larry had fun talking to all the guys. I think I'm done with the Christmas shopping. Oh I just realized I need to get Dad a couple more things. Maybe my New Years Resolution should be to blog more often. I have so many things I want to do but just don't have time. Maybe my resolution should be to make more free time and take on less.
