Christmas Babies

Ok, so you all know by now since i have talked with you, well, most of you anyway, that i was able to have my beautiful babies over the day after Christmas. I was so excited to have them, it's been a very long time and now that there is no reason to NOT come over, i need to have that start happening again.....another story another time.

So to not bore you to death with blah blah blah, let me just post a few pics from the day after Christmas and my most perfect girls!!!

My Wonderful Christmas Eve

Ok, so keeping in the same mode as this is a wierd year anyway, so should Christmas Eve and the Holidays be any different?

My day was actually very busy, had to run to the office to take care of some paperwork for my short sale, then had to run a couple of errands. I didn't get home till around 2:30pm, then had to run and see if i could find a couple of last minute things for the girls - afterall, they were going to come and be with their dad! - Yeah!!!

Didn't have much success with that and ended up getting home around 5pm (ish) and was about to decorate the tree, (see i put it up but did not decorate it because i was not quite sure if i would actually get the girls) and call it an early night but an hour later i ended up at Temple Square looking at the lights. Funny how things are with me lately.

I ended wandering around for a couple of hours just enjoying the sights and sounds and the amazing lights. I was blown away by the amount of people at 8pm on Christmas Eve downtown looking at lights..... I stayed as long as i could, i could no longer feel my fingers - it was sooooo cold. I made my way home, got in around 9:30p and then had myself dinner.

I decorated the tree and had a nice time enjoying the Christmas music on the tv and then somewhere around 2am finished up and got cozy on the couch to watch "It's a Wonderful Life". I think i only made it about 45 min into it, which is normal before i dozed off.

Below is some of my favorite pictures from Temple Square. Hope you enjoy them.

I will post pics of the girls and Christmas in a day or so.....stay tuned!

Here are the Video's

Ok, so i have managed to take the time and get two of the videos that are within the size limit. You can't really see much of her, she sat down and pulled the music stand over right in front of her face.

You can see her legs and arms and can tell she's playing right along and doing a fantastic job. If you watched the one from last year, you can tell that this group is far better, or perhaps just another year older.

In this one, Amanda is almost diretly behind the legs of their conductor.

That's my baby girl!

ok, stop yer....well, just stop. I guess all you get are pics, i had everthing loaded, had a nice bit typed up and was trying to load videos and i lost everything. So now i really dont' have time to redo everything.

so, below are some of the pics i took at Amanda's Christmas Concert.

Enjoy and Merry Christmas!!!

and to all, a good night!

You're probably the only one & Ward party

So, you are probably the only one who reads this and would it not suffice to say that it would be easier to just pick up the phone now and then?

The ward party was a pretty big hit. Kind of funny about "cooking"....... there were, i'd say about 150 in all, including kids. Lots of older folks just because of the geography of the ward, anyhow, i got there and ended up in the kitchen, didn't mean to stay there for the night but i pretty much did.

You would think that with all these older women who have been cooking for decades and given the fact that every turkey breast started out the exact same, how on earth do you ruin one? I'm not quite sure what some of them cooked them in or what they put on them while they were cooking, but common....

I made two (plus a fair amount of gravy which no one else did) and they were gone in seconds flat, i didn't even get my own!

The funny part was the desert, i made 4 pumpkin and 2 cheesecake pies and on purpose, they were not even mentioned until the great bid sheet cakes had been out for about 15-20 min. I did the pumpkin first, just tiny slices with a little cool whip (mmmmmm could eat that right out of the tub!) and were taken out, within 5 min there were people storming into the kitchen wanting pie but there was none, however they all saw the cheesecake, so then there was a group hovering just inside the door to the cultural hall waiting to pounce. The older members didn't have a chance, they couldn't move fast enough.

needless to say, i may become the home ec teacher of something, the younger couples wives were a little speechless and the guys were almost wondering why their wives couldn't make that. Hum, it was fun though!!!

i'm sorry, are you board? I better go now anyway. ta ta

Does anyone even read this one???

K, so it's been almost a full year since i even wrote in here and probably almost that long since i view'd it.

I have however, been keeping up on my business sites.....big deal huh?

so, here is what i'm a gonna do: I will leave this post here and i will come back just prior to Christmas and see if there are any comments (so you better comment).

If there are comments and everyone wants me to start keeping this up, i will do so and if no comments, well, then i guess this just an online diary for me and why bother, right?


So, i welcome your comments and Happy Holidays!
