Okay I wrote this a week ago, and forgot to post it... better late than never... right?

Well, its that time of year where things get busy.

 

 

It starts with the last week, before school lets out for Christmas break... thats right I said it, CHRISTMAS break, not "winter" break. I know I'm a Christian rebel!!

 

Anyway, I made some rice bags for Jacie's teacher and some other peeps.

These are really easy to make... as long as your sewing machine isn't giving you grief... sore subject. 

 

They are so great, when you have sore muscles, aches, pains, headaches. You just pop in the microwave for a few minutes, and thats it.. put it where ya need it!!

 

After those were completed, I had to get candy canes for Jacie, because she enjoys the happy faces of her friends and classmates when she passes out the candy delights. However, the question is do you buy the original peppermint, or do you get strawberry, or blueberry, or rasberry, or just assorted flavors? So many, many, choices. I went with the assorted, because I was sure they would have many other candy canes in the mix of all of the other class mates bringing happiness goodness with them.

 

Then there was Christmas shopping, and you know how I feel about shopping. Although it wasn't too hard this year. Today though, Jonny went out there, and it was CRAZY.

 

.. ok, maybe not this bad.

 

We've also been busy around the house. Doin, and replacing some things. Now that school is out that makes things a little interesting, when the kiddos are hanging around. Twelve million questions, what are you doing? Why? When? They aren't really happy with any changes, when it comes to the house.They constantly tell us, they like the house just the way it is... I just reply with, "you'll love it trust me!" 

 

Luckily, my neice and nephew are out for Christmas break as well, and they seem to keep them busy. Mind you its only been a few days, and we have three weeks to go! Which means no six o'clock mornings!!!

 

 

Jonny took Friday off, and he also took the this next week off to spend some time with his awesome family!

 

 

Last night we went over to my sister Yvonnes, for a birthday dinner in honor of Mom! We had a great dinner, played with the puppies (the whole time we were there!), did our annual Christmas light cruzing with the whole fam, then went back to the house, to play with the puppies some more!!! Seriously those little buggers are too cute for words!

 

Tonight, Breanna (my youngest neice) is over for the night, and every once and awhile we will hear them squeel, laugh, giggle, or dance to their just dance game. They are so funny. 

 

 

Last night we had Brian (my youngest nephew.. who is 16 and not so young anymore) stayed the night, and hung out with Jonny and Jack, and those three are also peas in a pod! Crazy, goofy, and ... well... crazy. Yes, Jonny fits right in!

 

So, our Christmas break is starting out pretty well, and I am lookin' forward to the next three weeks!!
