Well, You aren't nutty this time We take pics too. It used to be my favorite time after DH and I did all the placement. Now the boys do the placement, but it's still a fav time!

Buffy- P & PD that MIL improves.

Nan- DH report please!! Everything OK?!?


It looks like Christmas threw up in my basement. Like Santa's Sack dropped, and he forgot to take a few back with him...there are sooooo many gifties. But they are sooooo pretty!!

DS20 will be playing elf for me tonight, and I guess his DGF will be helping him. As we were filling bags with the little wrapped packages for stockings, he looked at me and said there was NO WAY this was all going to fit. I reminded him that DUnc96 did it for me every year, and he was blind...what's your point


Everyone who is traveling today, have a safe and Happy!!!

We always called it the stomach flu, but flu is really only respiratory. Remember, the only way to keep it off your hands is to wash them more than 20 seconds. The alcohol wipes/liquid don't work on it.

 

[tinkryansmom]

Hey everyone! Have not been on here in like forever! But have been thinking of you all.
