Christmas & New Year's Update:)

I know I've sure been slacking with my blogging:( My only excuse is that's time is flying by, but now that the holidays are over, I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things:)

Christmas was great:) I was actually off on Christmas Eve, so Lexie and I made tons of cookies:) That was our assignment to bring to Christmas Eve dinner at Jason's grandma's. Our favorite, of course, is the wreath cookies made out of corn flakes & marshmallows:) They are awesome:) Also a big hit at my BK Christmas party on the 20th.

Christmas morning, I was the first one up at 7:45. I took a shower, then Jason woke up & got the kids up:) Lexie was upset that her alarm didn't go off at 6:30!!! Thank God she set it wrong;) Anyway, they were very good at opening their presents:) They were excited about the Wii:) Lexie really liked all her new clothes & her MP3 player which I made sure I put a bunch of music on for her:) Brett was excited by his new Nerf gun & legos:)

Next, we went to Jason's mom's where Brett & Taylor got a 22 (gun). Naturally, I am so thrilled by that - at least Brett liked it:) Lexie got more clothes & the CD player she asked for:) Jason's dad made us a new swing for outside:) I can't wait until this summer when I can sit in my backyard & swing:) He made one for Kevin & Tracy, too:) I will have to post some pics:)

Then, we headed to Auntie Sallie's for more presents & breakfast:) We went home for a little while, then back to Jason's mom's for dinner - turkey - yay!! It was a long day, but it was nice:)

I will have to post pics of our Christmas tree hunting, too:) We sure had fun:)

For New Year's Eve, we had planned to go to our friend's house, but my brother's plans fell through, so we had them over instead. We enjoyed some adult beverages & some Wii:) It was fun:) I'm glad they came - I only wish Casey could've been there, too:( Maybe next year:)

Now, everything is back to normal. The kids go back to school tomorrow & Jason & I are working - he was on vacation the week of Christmas, lucky duck!! We hope you all had a great Christmas & New Year:) I know 2010 is going to be way better than 2009:)
