Well I have been playing with different blog accounts and not finding anything I can get a handle on. I'm not majorly impressed with any of them so guess I'll stick with blogger for now.
My daughter got on MySpace and I like her site but didn't have much luck messing with one for myself. So here I am back to blogger. Although I did get the newer version of it.
Let's see. This month in review has actually been pretty good. I usually get pretty stressed around Christmas but this year was different somehow. Maybe it is because we decided to make some gifts and put a limit on our spending ( and stuck to it!!). That seemed to really help. We are not in debt and it feels great!!! Now if we can just keep at it through this new year.
By the way in case I forget...Happy New Year!! I hope and pray everyone has a great year.
I was really wishing for a white Christmas but that just didn't seem to happen, but guess what...now we finally got snow! I love it. Snow makes everything look clean and fresh. The kids love making snowmen and throwing snow at each other. Of course there is always sledding too. It is not bitterly cold so that also helps. It is just some nice winter weather.
The boys really enjoyed Christmas and all the fun presents that they got. J's favorites are his Airplane from Santa and the huge slot car track that was a present to him and his brother from his Grandma and Grandpa. B loves that track too but he also loves the RC truck that he got from his Secret Santa.
James is busy finishing up some projects that he started before Christmas. He was hoping to get a shelf unit made in our livingroom for DVD's and movies but so far he's been too busy doing other things.
We've spent a lot of time socializing this month. It has been fun to spend time with family and friends. We are planning on having several over for New Year's Eve. Should be a good time for all.
Christmas was a little nicer this year as we didn't have to rush from one place to the next. It actually stretched out over 3 days and was quite fun. We spent time with James' Grandpa and his wife along with other family members on the 23rd. Then on Christmas eve we were at his parents house for a few hours and then my mom's with my family for the evening. Lots of food and laughter at both places. Christmas Day was at our house and was just as relaxing as there weren't a ton of people here. Only glitch in the whole thing was trying to get my webcam up and running on Christmas Day so that the family here could visit with my daughter and her family in Washington. Didn't work as planned and she didn't get to see everyone. Oh well, there will be other opportunities.
Now it is on to the New Year and new opportunities. Reach out and grab hold the ride is going to be great!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!!!!
