Here was our Christmas Tree.

Santa brought a new addition to the family....

This is Banjo.

The kids are in love....especially Jackie!!

Heidi - love the watch!

Kristine - He's beautiful! Or is he a she? How do you tell? I love the color.

Vicki - your tree is very pretty.

So who is hitting the after Christmas sales tomorrow?

 

[KristineN]

it's a boy....you can only tell sex by a dna blood test if you can believe that

He couldn't go wrong with free money and chocolate!

Vicki - your tree is very pretty.

So who is hitting the after Christmas sales tomorrow?

I am only going to hit Shopko to get some of those Christmas ornament stacking boxes. I want a better way to store our ornaments. I am thinking of buying 4 of them - 1 for each of us. Chuck & I will share ours since we have his, hers & ours ornaments. They are 1/2 price plus Becky can get us another 10% off because she works there.

Were you also asking for help to answer the questions?

 

[Pooh67_68]

Vicki nice tree.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Kristine what a very pretty bird and I love the color.

We hadn't planed on going shopping until late tomorrow to miss most of the after Christmas shoppers, but there is more damn ice on the way.

Sounds like everybody had some lovely presents.....Kristine our cat would be sulking if we brought home ANOTHER animal into her house!! But I love parakeets

We spent the afternoon at my grandparents and Grandma was on her best behavior for all but 15 minutes.

Thanks to you all I am now looking to find out where to get some supper.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Uh oh Theresa what happened?

 

[Pooh67_68]

Guess I can tell ya what the others got too.

I got John vent visors for his Tahoe (I am never allowed to spend a lot on him. )

Mom and Dawn got him a new leaf blower.

We got Dawn a pink iPod.

We got mom new sneakers and pj's.

 

[babytrees]

Uh oh Theresa what happened?

all the talk of Chinese food....made me think one of the pizza parlors might be open

and my grandma was nice to everyone until her brother mentioned God and then she went a little off ....but for her it wasn't that bad and it was much better than the last few times we've been to her house so we'll take it!!

I just got off the webcam with my mother, sister, niece & nephew. It was awesome. They are now talking to my brother and nephew in Japan. Chuck & I have to find some software where we can all talk at once.

sounds like a great day in your house!!

My sister is a little ticked.....she actually had two packages coming to our house and neither arrived even though they both guaranteed Christmas delivery and the one we got the tag for them trying to deliver last night should have just been dropped off but there was a mix up. Oh well!! Second Christmas for us...and my sister spoils the girls so I might be outdone.

I think this was both of the girls favorite stocking stuffer http://copco.com/store/site/product...7/fid/35EC39D8-423B-522D-FBB1416F4D84A196.cfm

espescially when we figured out they should be able to get slurpees in them!! (Cassidy got purple, Abi blue)

Cassidy's favorite present was her fake Louis.

Abi won't say what hers was....I think she may have been disappointed with her presents...her sister got gc's galore from my mom and Abi recieved a set of the Chronicles of Narnia books and Prince Caspian on DVD.

The girls got together and actually bought me a present with their own money and put thought into it....it's a book by Sandra Brown. I don't know her writing but it truly is the thought that counts. (that was my favorite present of the day)

 

[babytrees]

well that was a bust....nobody open...so it's scrounging for us!!

I thought you could conference call using Skype. We used to use it, but haven't in a while. I even have a webcam somewhere

Wow, it sounds like a lot of wonderful gifts were given and received by all. We had a nice Christmas, until Hunter started vomiting. He was so looking forward to today. He made it through my parent's Christmas this morning only complaining of a slight tummy ache. By the ride home he was exhausted, but he really wanted to open his gifts at home. So we had our tree. He and I took a nap after that as I had a sinus headache. He woke up not feeling any better and about an hour later he started vomiting. The good news is that he should be done by morning if he is anything like Colby and he had an empty stomach to start with. We are keeping our fingers crossed that he is feeling good enough to go to Boston tomorrow. He is so looking forward to all of the activities and wants to see Bernadette's family again. He will be heartbroken if he can't go.

We had prime rib, spiral ham and all the fixins for dinner and the kids have been enjoying all their goodies. They seem to be very happy with everything.

I need to upload music to 3 mp3 players before I go to bed, so I better get moving.

Well I am glad grandma was good today.

all the talk of Chinese food....made me think one of the pizza parlors might be open
