Love the scary Matt face picture..
after the Santa presents about 9am my parents came by and we started our traditional breakfast. TONS and TONS of food. our friends came by along with Tom's sister and Brother in Law. it is a RULE to come by in your PJ's eat and drink mimosas. Most of Zack's Legos are done and all over the house. i believe i still have several embedded in my foot. We had a lovely Christmas very low key kids played and played until the pretty much fell over.
I was SO EXCITED the elf flew back with Santa and will not see the thing until next year...:lovestruc

I cannot even think of not having my holidays filled with friends and family! abundance of people and friends walking in and out all day long, sharing laughing and just being. I love the fact i am constantly surrounded by my children who i love more then life itself, my friends who are such a large part of me.. Then how can you forget family.. times i want to put their head threw a wall in one minute then we are laughing and hugging the next. We are all so close, i wouldn't have it any other way!:love:
Just know if your ever in the Chicago area my door is open to you!:grouphug:

this is all you get for today... LOL.. i have some things up my sleeve... i need to get on them...

happy snow day.
Last night Meg slept over at a friends house. (she NEEDS girl time) adn the boys enjoyed this insane weather






it can stop any time

 
No time to read right now, but wanted to get on board before I lost track of things. :lmao:
 
Oh wow Mo...

The problem with you being gone for 2 weeks, is that we have to catch up with you too! LOL Missed ya, glad you're back!

Loved sharing Chrismas with you!

LOLed at the Elves - the girls were a bit too old to start that tradition, but I LOL at everyone else's, and glad I don't have to figure out what to do with the darned thing every. single. day.

And - Holy Cows - Stevie just cracks me up - I love that little guy... I still swear that he is MM's long lost (smaller and less red) twin brother! They are friggin' funny!

The kids' pure delight on Christmas morning... LOVED seeing it!!! And I loved seeing all of their gifts! Particularily the Duffys... I love Duffy in drag - that's the BESTEST!

I also LOLed at your job #2... I totally agree... drives me NUTSO... C'mon people - you want a HOT ticket item for your child for Christmas - do not - I repeat - DO NOT go out on Christmas Eve and expect it to still be there. Seriously. And, puuullllleeeeezzzzzeeeee do not get mad at me when I don't have it for you. :confused:

Love the midgets... Love you... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Here's to a great year of friendship for all of us!

D~
 

Looks like the kiddos had a wonderful Duffy-filled Christmas :thumbsup2 What about you?? Did you get anything fun?

Stevie is too funny...he was having fun with all the boxes!

I can't wait to get out there and meet them all!
 
Mo, so good to have you back...we've missed you (and thanks for catching up on my TR).

What a fun...and exhausting...Christmas you had. The kids sure hit the jackpot and look very happy.

Love the video of your little friend.

The boys were out in the snow. Maybe I should have hired the to come and shovel my driveway if they enjoy being out in that nonsense (not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow).

:hug:

Yes, everyone made it home. The wrestlers from Rochester, Minnesota. Andy got to the Dallas Airport at 6 a.m. yesterday and got home at 10 p.m. last night after flying standby from Dallas to Kansas City, Kansas City to Milwaukee. Then they got the Amtrak from Milwaukee to Union Station and the train was delayed an hour and a half. They finally pulled into Hanover Park at 8:30 last night and he and Des stopped to each and he walked in at 10 p.m. Glad to have him home.
