Wow! Time is flying!! Now that I'm all done with my Christmas shopping, I wish it would just get here so I can give gifts out:) Brett is super excited:) He was dancing around the other day:) I'm glad he is still excited when he is 11 years old. He's happy that his cousins are here from Texas.
Lexie had her Christmas program last Thursday and she put her dress on, but it was too small!!! She had to wear jeans and a pretty sweater. She still looked super cute, but I wish she could have worn her dress:( Brett's program is tonight at the Middle School. I;m hopung Brett will sing. Sometimes he;s very shy in front of people - which is weird since he loves attention and acting silly. I can't blame him, though, as I don't care for it myself.
I don't think there's much to tell. I'm not sending Christmas cards out this year as I have had no time:( It came to fast and I've been working a lot. Retail stores at Christmas, you know. By the way, I love my job:)
Well, have a great Christmas if I don't see you since I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get back on here before then. I hope Santa is good to you all:)
Brett & Lexie

Santa Claus is coming to town:)
I know, I know...what the heck have I been doing??? It seems like the days are just flying by:( I can't believe that Christmas is about 2 weeks away!! I need to finish up my shopping!!! At least I have a huge dent in it:)
Okay, so we had a nice Thanksgiving, even though I had to work 10-4 which meant I didn't get to my parents house this year:( We did go to Jason's grandma's and didn't stay too long as I had to work at 4:45 a.m. on Black Friday!! That was the best day ever!!! I laughed at the people running into the store when we unlocked the doors - silly people!! I volunteered to work the layaway checkout, so I was totally busy the entire time:) Most of the time, my line was nearly to the back of the store!! I was pretty dead by the end of my shift, though:) Brett & Lexie enjoyed being off from school:) They got to spend lots of time at Grandma Wanda's house:)
As some of you know, Hunting Season is a big deal up here in the U.P. Jason, naturally, had to go to camp both weekends of hunting season. The first weekend, he brought Brett with him:) Brett had lots of fun even though they didn't get to shoot anything:) I'm sure it helped that my nephew, Taylor, was at camp, too:) Lexie wanted to have popcorn and watch movies, so that's what we did most of the weekend when I wasn't at work. The second weekend of deer camp was Lexie's turn. Once again, sadly, they didn't get to shoot anything:( Poor things:( She had fun at camp with daddy:) She loves camp:) Brett and I watched movies and talked (Brett loves to talk!!). On Sunday, he went to a birthday party at the Comfort Suites and got to swim in the awesome pool:)
Last week, Brett and I went to the mall and we picked 2 angels off of the angel tree. Brett picked an 11-year old boy and I picked an 8-year old girl for Lexie. Lexie and I picked up a few things for them:) We have a couple more things to pick up this week. We have to have everything to the mall Friday. I hope those kids have a great Christmas:) Lexie picked out some cute pjs, slipper socks, and slippers for the girl:) She asked for snowpants, so we got some of those for her, too:)
Last week, I had to take each of them to town so they could pick out gifts for each other:) This is something we started a couple years ago and they suprisingly put lots of thought into their gifts:) Sometimes it seems like they really don't like each other at all:( They fight all of the time:( I thought it'd get better with them not being in the same school or on the same bus, but I guess not:(
On Sunday, we went to camp and picked out our Christmas tree:) We got a skinny one this year as we don't have room for a fat one! It really wasn't as fun this year as there was no snow so the kids couldn't have their annual snowball fight:(
Well, next week is Lexie's Christmas program and Brett's is the following week:)
Ok, well, that's all I can think of right now, but I will try to keep up a little better. I've just been working a lot, but I know that will change after Christmas:)
