Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve & heading to 10pm Mass. Peter caught a virus/mild flu early Sat morning and was still recovering until this morning. He was really tired, but wanted to go to church.

Trying to stay awake! Its going to be a late night for 1 recovering sick kid and another who needed a nap, but didn't take one.
'Hanging out in her kitchen' I got the kitchen earlier this summer for $8 and the cart for $7 this month through craigslist.com, great deals!
After church, the kids fell alseep on the 5 minute ride home. We put them to bed and 'Santa' arrived and the presents were now under the tree ready for the morning! We put the vanity together so Kiersten could enjoy it the second she woke up instead of having to wait for it be assembled. Pete & I had to wake up the kids....it was 8:30am & they were both still sound asleep!
Rocky enjoying her presents and doggie cookie!

Kiersten is into Disney Princess, Barbie, kitchen stuff...basically all that girly stuff!
She has been wanting a vanity for months now. She loves her new talking disney princess vanity!
Peter's big gift was a Leapster system. He has been enjoying playing it & thinks its a 'gameboy'!


Merry Christmas to ALL! Happy New Year!

The Christmas Tree is up and its raining!

Rocky went to the vet last week & got groomed on Saturday. We went out to the tree farm and picked out our tree. While waiting for Rocky, we ran a lot of errands & took advantage of a cold, but sunny day! Both kids, this year, stayed awake and helped us pick out a tree and enjoyed some fresh doughnuts! I'm ahead of the game this year...all my cards went out, all my packages sent & received a week ago. I have all my shopping done except for 1 more gift (Pete) because I ran out of time & had to go pick up Peter from school. My online packages have all come it. Now its just finding time to get the kids out of the house to wrap! Best of all, I stayed in budget!!!!! And Pete picked out our 2008 Jeep Commander yesterday which came in just in time as the weather looks more and more ugly.
