Friends and Family

Friday night we had RuthAnne and Michael over along with RuthAnne's mom and dad, Beth and Ralph and my parents! We had such a great time, it was just like the old days when RuthAnne and I were little, our parents used to get together all the time, only this time WE WERE adults too!!! Les played a game with Malorie and Easton where he said he was going to hypnotise them, they had to listen closely and follow the directions exactly, anyway at the end of it they ended up with black soot all over their faces, it was so FUNNY!!! They really thought he was going to hypnotise them and they were so excited! We laughed so bad!!! We looked at old pictures and RuthAnne did a few impersonations for all of us!!(which she is VERY GOOD at:o)

She's gonna kill me for this one:o)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Today we had Christmas with both sides of our families! This morning we went out to Jess' parents for lunch and gifts.....Easton and Jess went rabbit huntin and Easton got the shoot for the kill, he was SOOOO EXCITED!!! My Mom and Dad got in from West Virginia around 2 or so, and we opened gifts with them and Beth & Ralph and then had supper! We all had a great time, it's so nice to have my parents here for Christmas! Tonight Jess and I are all alone because my mom and dad were staying at Beth's house and my kids wanted to stay there too! So, we didn't know what to do with ourselves after everyone left:o) Hope you all had a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! WE DID!!!





Not even sure what to say about this pic:o)

Christmas Eve!

We ended up having our Christmas tonight instead of in the morning! Jess' mom and dad came up around 5 and the kids opened their presents! It was over in 6 minutes, I timed it!!!

BAKING COOKIES!!!

Today we baked cookies and gave them to some of our neighbors! I was baking from 10am to 3pm........and I was tired! The kids helped me clean house, frost the cookies, run to the neighbors and borrow an egg and flour(she got cookies in return though:o) We had a good day, I baked about 5 dozen cookies and 4 pies! I'm all ready for Christmas tomorrow!!! We go to his Mom and Dad's for lunch and then my parents will be HERE for supper!

Christmas with the Crowls

Yesterday we had our annual Christmas with the Crowls! Tim and Kristy came over for the day and the kids just couldn't WAIT to open presents!!! They were so excited! Kristy and I exchange gifts every year but the guys don't buy for each other because they never know what to get the other one!!! So they lose out on getting gifts!! Anyway, we had a good time but by 5 pm, I think all the adults were asleep while the kids played with their new toys!!! At least, I was anyway, I couldn't hold my eyes open, it was terrible!!!! After our nap we ordered pizza and watched The Family Man, which is one of my favorite movies!!! Thanks for being GREAT FRIENDS guys, we enjoyed having you here:o)
