Christmas!

I cannot believe it is already Christmas Eve! Where in the heck did this year go? What a great year it was, the years only get better and better! Last week we were on the west side doing our Christmas there. Always a good time, miss my family already! Tomorrow after John gets off work my mom and him are coming for Christmas dinner. I had to work until 2 today BOOO but when I got home I made my cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning, well they are still rising but look amazing! Tonight we watch Rudolph and have hot cocoa, then I will tell all the boys the story of The night before Christmas, and off to bed for them and wrapping starts for us LOL! Why oh why do we wait until Christmas Eve to wrap? I think we ask ourselves that every single year! Since they don't read my blog I can tell you that they are getting a Husky/Lab puppy for Christmas. I am not ready for a dog, I miss my Mona girl so much, so so much, but it isn't about me, its about them and they want a dog so badly! We go this weekend and pick her out, she isn't ready for her new home for another week or so but we'll go dibs her :)

I work Friday in the lab booo again, Don doesn't work and the boys are home and I have to work, it makes me sad but at least I get off at 2, whatever lol. This Christmas will NOT be a white one, first one in so many years, but I am ok with it! We have not really had any snow which I am also ok with. The weather has been amazing and I have enjoyed winter for once. The temps are suppose to drop this weekend but I still don't see snow in the forecast, we have had lots of rain, which is better than snow ha!

Well I'm off to make the frosting for my cinnamon rolls and make dinner! Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

18 Days til Christmas

I cannot believe we are already half way though December! I tried to post last month about my anniversary but it wouldn't post ugh! So last month we celebrated 12 years, seems like 30 some times lol We have been so busy! Patrick had Mono and thrush super bad, so the month of November he was down. The month of December is make up work time for Patrick. Poor kid! The littles started basketball, so that is Mon, Tue, Wed and Thur each week! Plus school board meetings, work and everything else in between! We got a sciff of snow, but it melted that same day amen! We had a super long week of very cold temps, with very windy temps that took it to the -'s, it was gross! But it has been an amazing winter so far, 40 all week for a high and mid 30's for a low, that's unheard of! We had a good Thanksgiving, went to Spokane to have lunch with Don's Mom and Harold, came home and my family was here, mom, john, sister, husband and kids! We watched the Seahawks and ate. Friday we got up and went shopping, got a few stocking stuffers and a gift for my Bear, ate lunch and just had fun! Yesterday was my 2nd annual cookie/ornament exchange! It was a lot of fun! There were so many cookies, the boys were happy! Josh spent the weekend at a friends house, so its been super quiet around here :) I took Santa pictures for Christmas fest last Wednesday! Never again! I always stress they wont turn out, well they did but some times what you do free goes unappreciated and this is my last year. I have done it for 5 years I think and I'm done. We got our family pictures done on the water in Moses Lake oh I love them! Got my Christmas cards ordered and ready to go, just have to get stamps tomorrow! Next weekend I am going to pick up my Aunt and cousin in Ellensburg and head to the west side for a cookie/ornament exchange! I am SO excited! I have not been home since October and I need to go home for a couple days! I miss everyone so much! Don is always saying he will look for a job over there and we can move over, but I would hate to leave our small town and my friends and my Mom :) As long as I can go visit every month, im ok! THis week I have to work 4 days instead of 3 boo! Well I best get my laundry finished and watch some football!!
