MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 

[EEYOREFAN1969]

Hi everyone! I am back! I have been so busy that I have not had time to post. Work is killing me! I hope that everyone had a great Christmas. My family did, except for the weather. The weather all weekend was HORRIBLE.

Taeja, You didn't scare me off of the boards and I am impressed that you either remember or found my name. As for your question about debarkation, hands down Disney wins there. Royal Caribbean wasn't too bad but definately not as easy and stress free as Disney. As for tipping, I think that Royal Caribbean was a little bit cheaper.

Dzne , I will be posting the photos as soon as I can. I took some digital and some with my 35mm so I still have some to be developed but I will put what I have out there. we recieved a new printer from my sister in law for Christmas and I love it. I can plug my memory sticks right into the printer and its prints so clear and crisp. Photos are soon to come!

I don't know about anyone else but I am already ready for another cruise. Planning is in the works for this upcoming year. My best friends sister and brother in law cruise on Disney every year with their 4 kids and they alsways book the Roy Disney Suite! Must be nice!! We met them on the Royal Caribbean cruise and they were great people.
I'll post more soon! Happy New Year!

We all got spoiled for Christmas, and are happy little campers with all our new toys! Now trying to get back into the swing of life LOL!

Sorry I've not been around! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Ladies!!!!

Jennifer, how was the fireman statue liked? Please share the story!

 

[mom2sean_n_alex]

OMG! I totally forgot to post that story!!!! It was great!!! Sean was opening his gifts from Santa. He got to that one, unwrapped it and of course looked at it like OK... Whatever because there were no pictures. So I helped him take it out of the box... he looked at it and gasped and said "It's like I asked for on the big boat mommy!" I said, "I know and Mommy didn't buy it did she...?" No Mommy you didn't! HOw did it get here?? I told him SANTA brought it. He just stared at it after that!!! It was AWESOME!!!!!! Woooo HOOOOOO!!!!

Thanks for reminding me to post the story!

 

[dzneprincess]

Awesome story Jennifer!
I dont know why this whole time I was thinking that this was going to be for your DH?? I must be going nutz! I am sooo glad that he was able to get a magical Santa moment because of that statue! Tht is awesome!
SO, tell us ma'am, how did you get so spoiled that the depo for your next cruise needs to be put off??? HMMMMMMM??? YOu must have been a very good girl this year!

 

[dzneprincess]

Amanda, Taeja, Cindy??? Are you out there are too busy getting your New Years Party started early?

 

[ericamanda01]

No party here! DH and I always stay home on New Years Eve. We just don't trust all the drunk drivers out there. Unfortunatly we have also fallen asleep before midnight for the past two years. This is gonna be that year we stay up! I can feel it!

Ladies, so what did you get for christmas? Tell us about that one special gift?

No it was for Sean, he was the one who asked for it. I LOVE it! I wanted it too LOL! Sean's room is done in firetrucks/firefighters. And I already had a poster of that statue, so I was thrilled when I saw it on the ship!

I have NO idea what I did to deserve such a spoiling at Christmas! LOL Hmmmm.... he must feel guilty about something!

 

[mom2sean_n_alex]

We did our "New Years" thing last night. LOL We too stay home to avoid the drunks on the road. DH & I went to a place called Wild Wing Cafe that just opened up a couple of months ago here in our town and saw a friend's band play. It's been forever since we have been out just the two of us! Tonight we stay home! Happy New Year everyone!

 

[dzneprincess]

My dearest and I were not supposed to exchange gifts this year, as he just got a new laptop and I got a dyson, but we each got a little something My dearest gave me 2 Disney watches from the kids, one has MM and one has Tink, I love em! I also received a Dpt 56 figure from the DIS store of te Fab 5 on a swing (like a carasoul but with swings) and it actually spins AND that stinker got me a great framed picture of the Magic all lit up at night! He is the best! What did you ladies get?

 

[taeja71]

I'm out here. Things have been a little crazy around here since Christmas week. So, I've got to bump for now.

 

[ericamanda01]

My DH did great this year! He got me a really cute sweater and gift certificates to a couple of stores. I am really picky, so the CG were a perfect idea. But the best by far was a Citizen eco-drive watch from the Disney series. It has a MM on the dial. It's so cute!

Happy New Year!!!! 2005 will ROCK!!!!!

Our precious thread was falling down to page two, so, I'm bumping us up!

Our whole household got that nasty flu bug. My eldest DD got sick three seperate times. It was not a pleasant Christmas week. I refused to vomit so I felt like I was in stage one of pregancy all week. My husband was so sick Xmas morning that I was the one the kids went to begging to have their presents put together. My hubby was very brave and tried his best to participate and help.

My son returns to preschool tomorrow! Hooray! It's only two days a week for three hours, but it's a break for him from me and vice versa.

Hubby went back to work today as well. He's been off for two weeks for the plant shut down. Having him home makes my daily routine not so routine.

We had a great Xmas. The kids got scooters, even our little one. They were thrilled! They were even able to scoot on the carpet. My MIL and GIL bought the kids a house. They've been playing drive thru and taking food orders. They got so much for Xmas. I got hubby a nice leather belt and some other things, but the big thing I got was a full set of golf clubs! I love them. We had the kids babysat on the 30th for my b-day and DH and I went to lunch and the driving range. I had a lot of fun slicing the ball. Can you believe I cried b/c I got golf clubs??

We were hit with snow before Christmas and it didn't start melting until recently. I'm sick of snow (for now).

Well, my DS wants juice, so I gotta go. I hope to post you guys later, but I'm still catching up from Xmas week, taking down decorations, and the cleaning. You know, the usual for us busy busy moms out there.

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL! See you on the boards!

taeja-So sorry to hear about all the sickness. I didn't have the flu but a cold made me feel a little under the weather.

Well I start another term of school tommorow. Actually I am taking two online classes so I will start those in a few minutes. DH's work is closed today for a three day weekend. They always do that if a holiday is on the weekend. They are so good to their employees. Hope everyone is able to get back into the swing of things after the holidays! Have a great day!

Hello Ladies! Our New Years was great. Perfect weather. We did a little boating, went to the Japanese Steak House for dinner, and had a small New Years Eve celebration with our closest friends. All in all a relaxing weekend. We are about to begin our busy period at work so I am getting ready for that. My DH was jus made K9 officer so we have a new addition to our home. He's a 2 year old German Shepard named Izak. Very beautiful and full of energy. Time to start planning our next cruise. Where to? When? Anywhere is fine with me! Just get me on board!!! Still working on my pictures from my RCCL cruise. This week, I promise! Now that the holidays are finished I can breathe again.

 

[ericamanda01]

Bump! I don't think that we should be on the second page! Happy tuesday to all!
