Welcome Ilona & Kyra!

Welcome Ilona and Kyra!
I am Lisa (41) and my crew (is small) is dh (43) and ds (17 at time of cruise). We are cruising to celebrate ds's graduation.

I have been working so much with the holidays here that I haven't had much time to dream about the cruise, much less post! Big Bummer!
Plus my mom came in from Denver for a few days and that kept me busy. It was so good to see her though...it's been almost a year since we have seen each other!

Tracey, I am not getting notification emails either! I don't think their new server works or something???

I hadn't been getting messages for several days and all of a sudden they started up again with older messages!
I think everyone is quite busy right now. I got some more shopping done this morning and I came home thinking I would do some laundry (HUGE pile) and wrap gifts. I put the 1st load in and finished off the detergent. I guess I will have to leave yet again..............

Hey Everyone!!! Welcome aboard DDG's! That is really cute.

I passed both of my classes with C's.

I only have one more gift to get (the same one I've had for weeks now) and I think I've settled on getting my FIL a new Craftsman drill. Only I have to go to the mall to get it .

Dakota's birthday party went good...except that half way through unwrapping gifts Courtney got sick all over the floor. I don't know what happened, she had been fine all day long. She bounced back pretty quickly and played a little before we left.

He absolutely loves his new toys and kitchen set. He's the next Emeril .

Well, if I don't post again before Christmas I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!!! I will do my best to get my Christmas cards out tonight. With finals, birthdays and anniversary I've been a little busy.

Oh...I did get a really nice heart necklace for my anniversary. He did good! I got a dozen roses and a card too.

Later guys, Karen

Hello All!!! Just checking in and wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

My Christmas shopping is officially done and I just have a little more wrapping to do and then I am all ready, I even got the last of my Christmas cards out yesterday.

Now if the power would just come back on. We had a really big windstorm last Thursday night and we still have no power, tonight will be our 7th night and they are saying our power won't be back on until Friday . We are trying to make the best of it but it is really wearing on us all. I am just hopping that it will be back before Christmas and that their estimates are correct for Friday.

Anyhoo... Everyone have a safe and Happy Holiday!

 

[Madisonznana]

Good news about passing your classes and you Anniversary gifts Karen!!
And Kandace, I really hope you get your electricity very soon. I cannot even imagine going that long. What are you doing for heat? Take care!
I am supposed to be doing housework and laundry and I decided to take a break. What with the painters here the other day and Christmas stuff in boxes all over, I can't even see any progress.
I gve myself a half hour to play and it is going way to fast
Merry Christmas to all who have a chance to peek in.

Sounds like everyone has been busy little beavers.. This week has been pretty relaxed surprisingly. Only have 2 days of work left then i am off till jan 2..can't wait..

Amber has been sick though this week so any plans we was going to do as far as the ymca and such we have cancelled as we don't want her sick for xmas itself.

i have a couple oddball things to wrap yet but not overly too concerned if i don't get them wrap right away as i have plenty of time to get them wrapped.

Cruise = Good job on passing your tests and congrats on the anniversary.

I didn't get our pics in the cards i sent out so i am going to attempt to figure out how to post it here. if not maybe we can start an email loop and exchange our pics via that way. and speaking of cards...let me know how many of the candy canes survived..ROFL i mail out like 50 cards and so far i have had no reports of any of the candy canes surviving.

Mickey = I just got Jonathan's card to Ryan in the mail today.

Hope everyone has a merry christmas and a happy new year. I will be around much more being off work so i may talk alot to myself on this thread

 

[BLTOH]

Ok mine says i MAY NOT post attachments so i guess i wont be able to post our family pic here. Maybe after the new year if anyone is interested in an email loop we can start one and exchange family pics before the cruise.

Merry Christmas to all! I will still be checking in thru the holidays. I finished my shopping early for the first time in like 25yrs! Just have some minor baking to do still. Sugar cookies tonight. Last night was M&M cookies, and the night before rice krispie treats and fudge! Can't wait til the first on Jan comes for the countdown to cruise and get my diet going! I'm into my BIG pants right now!

Here's a link to a few DL pictures from last week to get you in the Christmas mood!

OOOHH KandyK...sorry to hear no power. We were without last year like that when the hurricanes went through and in the dead heat of summer...thank goodness for the pool.
Karen...congrats
Tracy...also no candy cane survival, she just put it in a bowl and ate it anyway, so no worries
I will now attempt to share a picture of Kaylin's last race of the season...one 1st and two 3rds out of 12(boys)
I hope this is not a repeat of Halloween when I tried this picture thing!


Forget it...my computer is taking forever.

 

[The Kirks]

I will never get this picture thing right...but at least it's there...almost life size! Okay, I will go take it off now!

I already started the countdown to the cruise..lol.. I am wanting to start the weight watchers diet but waiting till after xmas to see if dh took the hint and got me the stuff i wanted from them..hahahoho Such wishful thinking that is.

Awesome pictures..i showed dh the ones of the dessert bar and he was like is that all? I am betting dh will gain 20 lbs on this cruise. I loved your scrapbook too..where did you find all your stuff for the disney theme and stuff for the safety drill?

 

[saltwater taffy]

We will be on this cruise also. DW, BIL, SIL and myself.
This will be our 8th or 9th cruise on the Disney Magic, including the Westbound Panama Canal Cruise and we were on the Wonder for the 11 day Southren Carribbean also. While I am looking at other cruise lines, mainly due to cost, my wife isn't too enthusiastic about a change. We are really looking forward to the cruise.

 

[pppiglet]

I hadn't scrapped before, so after the cruise I bought stuff at stores and online for 6 months before I started it, then when I got up the nerve, I had all the stuff already. It got me addicted to scrapping!

 

[pppiglet]

Welcome Saltwater Taffy and group!

Remember all....the boards will be down lots this weekend, so don't panic if you can't get on here!

 

[BLTOH]

Welcome Saltwater and crew..

Hope everyone is ready for the holidays..i only have 4 hrs left of work then i am off till jan 2 ...woohooo

 

[kandyk]

Our power is back on!!! Two hours short of a full week. We are so excited we can walk into a room and turn on the light instead of having a flashlight every where we go.

Take care all. I hope everyone's Christmas is wonderful.

 

[Madisonznana]

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!!!
Welcome Saltwater Taffy from the Catskills! I grew up in NJ and several summers we spent a week or two at the Wheel Inn in the Catskills. What a great time we had.
I am so glad you had lights for Christmas Kandace!!!
I enjoyed your picture from DL Debbie. I took virtually the same pictures but the ones you took in Small World came out alot better than mine! And your scapping is fantastic. I have been buying things online and at local scrap booking stores. I am hoping inspiration will hit me when I have all of the supplies in front of me!!!
DH spoiled me with a new camera for Christmas. It is a Sony Digital SLR. It will probably take me until the cruise to learn how to use it to it's full potential. I told DH I will have to go to DL to just spend the day and night taking pictures for practice. I especially want to learn how to take fireworks pictures!
Oh and Madison also had some very yummie candy cane chipettes!

Wow...I can't imagine being without electricity for that long. One hour is long enough for me!

 

[BLTOH]

Glad you got your power pack KandyK..Would hate to go thru christmas without power.

Our christmas day was a green one here in ohio but we didn't mind. was even fairly warm out.

The kids have enoyed all the cards and have been playing away with all the gifts.

Cruise...DD loves the pic of your son and is all excited to meet him in person to see mickey on the ship together..lol...her words.
