Post Christmas Post

Christmas turned out to be great despite my fears...the boys were very happy with their haul and I was actually able to give my dad a little something extra. He has recently started playing his guitar regularly again and he had no music stand or guitar stand. I was able to find one of each for him for a reasonable price. He was surprised and happy...

Unfortunately my step-sister (A) pulled a typical stunt of hers...We had been planning to take pictures of all six grand-boys this Christmas because this would be a fantastic opportunity to do so, because my brother and his family are in town. She decided that since my brother's wife and youngest son were recovering from a cold she did not want to risk getting her kids sick and she backed out of the pictures at the last minute. Now this may seem reasonable to everyone else but I know my sister...

My father had asked for one thing this Christmas...to get a picture of all his grandsons. My sister's real excuse was that her husband travels and if her boys were sick she would not be able to handle that all alone...see, she was not concerned about the welfare of the kids... she did not want to be stuck with sick kids. Not to mention that if her boys were sick and she was having trouble she would simply be able to pick up the phone and call my step-mom(her mom) and help would be on the way. Not to mention it is just a COLD! lol, she can be the drama queen!

Anyway...enough complaining...I had a great Christmas...Hubby went and got me a hoodie sweatshirt like I have been asking for...it even says Chico State on it...he also got me a walkman so I have a ready made excuse not to talk to people on teh bus. My dad and step mom really enjoyed their gifts, so did all my nephews and to top it all off my hubby was very happy with the gifts I had for him.

I made three of the missing ornaments from each of the years of our marriage... (12 can ya believe it!) I got him socks...(he has been asking for them for forever!) and I also got him "We love Katamari" this freaky ball rolling game...it is lots of fun...

I hope everyone else is doing good...I hope you all had a very happy christmas and merry new year!!
