Christmas Craziness

I have hesitated to post anything for days now (and I'm not sure why!) Christmas was wonderful as usual but this year some things were just off. First off, This is the first Christmas in 16 years that we haven't spent with the Bateman family. It was kind of wierd doing our traditions without them. Plus, Kels and Grant were in Colorado, so we have been a small family this past week. Now Robbie is out of town and it seems really quiet! This post is mainly for K and G. We missed you, but don't worry we had fun nonetheless.

I loved everything I got for Christmas! I love my new sewing machine and can't wait to get home to it and start crafting! I also have bought 4 pairs of shoes this Christmas....that's what you do when you don't have a husband. Spend your hard earned dollars on cute new clothes! :)

Dylan and Blakey getting ready to "pretzel". It's a verb in our family. This year they didn't put the sprinkle bottles in thier mouths!

And we kept the tradition of the plastic bag aprons.

This year's sponsors: Winco!

The impossible puzzle of 2008. I left my dad alone today and came back an hour later...he had only gotten two new pieces in. (Not my idea of fun!)

Aunt "Bof" and the babies.

We did a lot of relaxing too. Don't mind this picture of me. Not the most flattering.

This one is of Blake and Dylan dancing to my horrible rendition of Macho Man. If you watch closely you can catch some of my moms's amazing moves too. (Sorry it's sideways!)

The next one is Blake wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, and Dylan trying to tell a joke. It's always fun with 4 year olds!
