Happy New Year! 2012 is HERE!

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day is all a big blur. We spent the evening at church service, went to see the neighborhood light show and then home to bake cookies and watch Rio. The movie was a trip and of course we couldnt get through the entire movie because the kids decided to ride around the house on the mini tricycle!  Happy New Year Everyone!

When do you put up and take down your christmas tree/decorations?

The Best Christmas Present of all time!

Ok, so all of the toys and things she received for christmas, she chose to jump around the house in the toys r us bag. Really??!!!!

Laundry Basket Fun!

This is why I will never feel guilty or the pressure to buy a lot of anything especially toys for my kids!
The went into the laundry room and grabbed these baskets , running through the house with it on their heads!
They wore themselves out with the baskets!
Cracking me up! I had to grab a photo of the madness! Hah!
So when you ask what do my kids want or need for christmas and i ask for new laundry baskets. I am not joking! LOL

Too Funny!  

From The Desk of Barack Obama, President: Friend --

Early this morning, the last of our troops left Iraq.

As we honor and reflect on the sacrifices that millions of men and women made for this war, I wanted to make sure you heard the news.

Bringing this war to a responsible end was a cause that sparked many Americans to get involved in the political process for the first time. Today's outcome is a reminder that we all have a stake in our country's future, and a say in the direction we choose.

Thank you.

Barack

You're INVITED now, PAY ME! Say, WHAT?!?

While driving to the market, I heard a radio station announcer tell the story of how his family and friends were INVITED to their Thanksgiving dinner and one of the family members OFFERED to give money to help buy the food.  UMMMM excuse me, I would NOT accept money (even if they offered) for the simple fact, if they're going to be visitors and family members to your home for the holidays, just make EXTRA food and be done with it.  IF they insist on offering money, I would ask that they bring desserts or something but, NEVER money!  Come on now, CHARGING for dinner guests to your home?  REALLY?  I called into the radio station but, I received a busy signal I guess that was my sign to just let it go.  LOL!

Sidenote:  It's a CHRISTIAN radio station.  I can't make this up.  *sigh*

What are YOUR thoughts?  Have you ever CHARGED family or friends to attend a dinner party at your home?  Please, explain.  Thanks.

Sweet Little Sister!-Happy Friday!

Sweet Little Sister!

What's up with this boy? I have never heard of kid not wanting to wear a coat when it's freezing in the morning!
