Whew.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  It was a busy time for us and now we are finally slowing down.  Lots of presents, lots of  friends, and lots of food.  I haven’t completely fell off the wagon, but I know that I will have to do some extra work to take off the few pounds I put on!!  But, I am okay with that.  I expected it during the holidays and am glad that I didn’t let myself completely go!

Christmas morning was great.  The only thing missing was Daddy..but he’ll be home in three days!!  Anyway, the kids loved their stuff…so thanks to all of you who helped make their Christmas extra special!  Sylar really wasn’t into opening presents…he just wanted to eat the paper and tear off the bows!  The girls had a great time and really enjoyed all that they got!

We visited some friends houses on Christmas Day and had dinner at another place….it was a great affair with lots of food and lots of people.  Everyone really enjoyed themselves..AND I played a new game called “corn hole” .  Yep, you read it right!  It was a take on horseshoes…very fun!  I ate too much junk and drank soda, but we laughed and had great conversation.  By the time we got home, it was shower and bedtime for all of us….

So now, we are getting ready for New Years Eve…nothing too big but Daddy will be home.  We do a lot of finger foods….chips, dips, cheese balls, fruit and veggie trays, and shrimp…..and hopefully at least one of the kids will make it to midnight!!  HAHA!

well, I am going to go get a run in.  Hope you all are well and take care!
