Back in the Saddle!

Well, If I had any sense at all, I would have announced that I was taking the month of December and part of January off from blogging!  It is always hectic at Christmas, and I was a little bit overwhelmed this year.  But, I think we are back in the saddle over here!!

John Stephen was so much fun this Christmas!  I never knew how much fun it would be to have a little one during the Holidays!

We went to 5 or 6 family celebrations, shopped for gifts for about 30 people, had people over a few times to our house, cooked, cleaned, wrapped, enjoyed the fireplace, hung twinkle lights, and sang along to my Christmas music on my IPOD!  It was great!!   It was a lot of work, but it was so fun!!

 John Stephen got to see his cousins- and he loved it!  

On Christmas afternoon I found the whole family napping on my bed!  John Stephen and Sydney woke up right as I came in with my camera!  For all of the Moms out there I have to say..."Why were they all getting the NAP while I was washing dishes??" Oh well, at least they had the wild man trapped up there with them!

A few thoughts:

• Love the new Oprah Winfrey Network
• Ready for Duck Season to be OVER
• We are going to MAUI in April!
• Need something to wear to a wedding in a couple of weeks
• John Stephen is getting his EYE TEETH
• I've got cabin fever- it has been very cold!

So, I hope to be back soon- with some good posts!  Stay WARM!
