What to write!

Christmas is upon us and I am so greatful that its almost over. We are spending out Christmas morning with the kids and I am so excited to see their faces as they open up presents from us and Santa Clause. I tend to some what over do it but I think that I am compensating for my own childhood. We never got much because my parents were poor. I really think that is why I want to give my kids so much. I know that there are other kids out there that would benfit from it too. I just want my kids to be happy and glad for the things that they do get. I have not heard from them the things that they wanted and didn't get. I think that they are generally happy for just the smallest things. In fact I bought myself an ice scrapper, living in Minnesota that is one thing you do need. So it was in the car when I picked up Ayden. He wanted to see what it was and I explained to him on how to use it.... He was so happy that I bought it that he shouted, "Mom I love my new gift"..... Silly boy!

I hope that everyone is having a wonderful and safe Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving and everything else in between!

This is my favorite time of year. Good food and family fun. Thanksgivig we spent at my in-laws. It was nice to see everyone. The kids love going to grandma/grandpa's. We ate and then watched some football. The kids were actually pretty good. SHOCK!

Then Friday we had some running around to do and then I went out with my brother and sisters. Carrie and I were drinking and Addie was a sober driver. Its nice when you know that you can drink and be safe. We had a semi-reunion at Sarna's in Columbia Heights. Pretty nice place.

Now its December and Ayden is waiting for the snow to start falling. We can't wait to get out there!

Christmas is on its way. I can't wait for that day.....
