I finally got enough energy to post the Pictures from Christmas and New Years. They didn't come out that well but better than nothing. I think I need to get my camera serviced. There is one roll still out and I'm not sure what's on it but hopefully the pictures are better!

We had a nice treat on Sunday... Amy and the girls came to California and stopped by for the night. It was so nice to see them. Kayla is a doll... only 20 months and so smart. I had alot of fun with her. I didn't see much of Felisha because she was of with Emily... They had a blast hanging out and going to the park. She's grown into a sweet young lady and she's beautiful! We had Jolene and Alicia come over Sunday night to celebrate Jolene's birthday. Always nice to see them. They seem to be doing well. Amy stayed until 3:30 on Monday. I really enjoyed catching up. Can't wait to see them again.

I got sick again. Don't know whats going on. Hopefully this was the last for the year. I'm going to try and take it easy for the next few days to make sure it's gone. This time it was just a fever and feeling down. No Shingle... Thank goodness.

Mark left to go to San Diego for the day and won't be back until late. Cameron I'm assuming will be gone all night. So I'm gonna plan a Movie night in with Emily. We need a good girls night. Haven't done that for awhile. Movie, popcorn, and just good conversation. Should be fun and relaxing!

We have been burning in the wood stove all week and boy do I love it. It's so homey when you have a fire going. I'm amazed how warm it get if we don't slow down the flame. There has been a few times where I can't even go upstairs to sleep because it's too hot. Can't wait to see the PG&E bill!

Ok enough babbling... Here's the pics I've been promising! Enjoy!


The Family~



More Family~



Uncle Jimmy's family~



Holding Shaun... What a cutie. I have to say I love it when they belong to someone else. I'm sooo done!~


Mom looking fabulous in her Christmas Pajama's!~



Our tiny tree... I always get an 11 foot tree but Mark had surgery and we couldn't go cut one down this year. Oh well there's always next year and it still looked good~


Ok only Richard could find these. This is his Present to Emily~ She was excited to see her name on a pair of skinny jeans... Skinny jeans the only thing she will wear these days! Then she was even more excited that they say Emily the strange. She want to be know as strange.~



Are we having fun yet... We had a blast but the pics didn't reflect that. I have to say I didn't take most of them. Not sure who did.






Cant forget our sweet Sumbal... We couldn't bring Sparky but hopefully next year. Damon and Joyce took care of him for us and he was spoiled.




Last but not least... New Years... Casual you can tell because I look like crap! But we had a wonderful time with Damon, Joyce, Andrew, and Desire. Thanks for playing games with us!~
