The little RugRats (that's what papaw calls them) come over today. They wanted to play in the snow with Jeremy. He just took them down by the bridge. They weren't outside very long, but I guess it was long enough.
Alden really wasn't dressing for playing in the snow, but we got him some extra socks and put plastic bags on before puttig on his shoes.
Ashlynn decided my hair needed some fixing. She was making a mess of it, that's for sure. Was trying to pull a toothed headband through my hair. Then it was on one side and then she decided to put her little clips in my hair. She was having fun and actually being quiet.

Christmas Day events
Our Christmas Day started around 8:00am... We had to wait for Jeremy to get home from working (shoveling snow). While we were waiting the cats got into their stockings. Catnip mice and yummy treats. They were throwing those mice everywhere and rolling over top of them, it was funny...
Jeremy got some new clothes, that actually fit him. Tabetha/Daniel got him a stereo and Candace/Brian got him a new Cell phone...Thanks alot girls. Although he hasn't asked to use our phones, nor are we getting his friends calls...
The kids had to wait til the big present was opened. The had come in yelling lets open, lets open... The big one was a New kitchen table and chairs. I was really surprised by that. Some one had mentioned that the one had was wobbly. But no one wanted to tighten the screws.
Jasmine didn't know what to think of all this, but she had so much fun. She got a laptop computer that tells and shows her ABC's with sounds and words that she can spell out.
Alden got and New fishing pole, A Mickey Mouse fishing pole that when your reeling in a fish the handle lights up. The big smile on his face was great... He always likes to go fishing with Papaw...
Adrian wanted a BB Gun, so him and Jeremy could shoot them when they get the chance. This one is the real Red Rider BB gun, the one that Adrian saw in the movie "A Christmas Story" We even tried to get the kids to stick their tongues on a pole across the street at the park, NONE of them would do it...
Ashlynn wanted this Baby Alive Feel Better Baby... she kept insisting that Santa will find it at Walmart. Well Walmart, Kmart nor Target carried this baby. Santa=I=Me had to go to Toys R Us, and it was on a Sunday... Anyone that knows me, knows that I don't shop. I shop online and get it delivered or I go in get what I want/need and get out. Well let me tell you that this was one of those times. We (I took Jeremy with me) went in got the baby, paid and walked out. No lines, or anything. They must have known I was coming...LOL
Tabetha got a New mixer. Can't wait to see what she mixes up next. Daniel got a gift card, so he could get whatever he needed/wanted. Never know what to get him, I think he liked it...

Finally got Candace and Brian and their crew together. Had to drag the kids from their toys. Candace wanted a Care Package, so I made her a basket of cleaning supplies. Brian isn't picky, he got a lined flannel shirt w/hood and I also found 3 Jim Beam Bottles for him. He collects them, not too sure how many he does have.
As the day ends and the thought of taking down the tree is in my head, but I'll wait. It does and did come down on December 26Th. All taken down and pack away for another year.
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Hope that the New Year brings Happiness, Peace and Joy
Until next time, hope all is well and be safe in your journeys...

Christmas Eve
It's the day before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature is stirring, not even a mouse (cause I have cats)LOL.
The guys have gone shopping. As they do every year.

This year Scott is making the Christmas dinner (this will be interesting). At Thanksgiving, he made the mistake of saying that cooking a special dinner wasn't that hard, well it's time for him to find out. I'll let you know how it turns out. LOL
Made fudge a couple weeks ago, snowflake cookies yesterday and today I might make some brownies (with and without walnuts).

Going to moms (Grandma Sandy's) later this evening. We have always gone to Grandma's house Christmas Eve. Even when I was little we were at Grandma and Grandpa Slifers for Christmas eve. Going to be fun, all the kids and grand kids and great grand kids will be there this year.
Christmas day will be spent at home, it is every year. The kids and grand kids will be here around 2:00. Mom also comes over for dinner. Just hope we don't get all the snow they say we are suppose to get. Anywhere from 2-5 inches, and it's coming during the over night hours. You know every one wants SNOW for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!!! It's white now and we have enough of it, not going away too soon either. Expecting more snow at the end of the week.
Oh yeah! Got a new Camera for Christmas, got it early, so I can take pictures of our festive events.
Well until next time, hope all is well and be safe this Holiday Season...

Week before Christmas
Well, it's the week before Christmas and not done shopping yet. Never fails we always wait til the last minute. It's a little more fun and excitement all in one. Was going to say, Don't spend as much money either, but not so sure about that.
Jeremy is out of school for Christmas break, 2 weeks. Goes back on January 3, 2011. Hope he does better next year/semester, than he did this semester. On and off with girlfriends. Never know who it is from week to week. LOL... He's made a few bucks this winter season so far. Been shoveling and putting down salt over at the dentist office (Kenneth & Mathew Miller, father/son). They also own a small apartment complex in our neighborhood. Mr. Kenneth Miller is married to our State Senator, Mrs. Pat Miller.
The girls and families are doing fine. Although heard that Ashlynn has been sick again. I guess for about 3 days now. Alden had a touch of sickness, but nothing can hold him down. Adrian is doing well. Wanted to play in the snow before school the other day. But mom wouldn't let him, due to he would be wet all day at school, and then he'd be sick.
Scott is back working in town now. He was working in Terre Haute. Would leave on Monday morning and then come back home on Friday for the weekend. Now that he's in town, he's home every night. Now I have to cook again. Was use to not cooking, cause it was just me and Jeremy and we usually just fixed something whenever.
Sorry no pictures this time. My camera sort of bit the dust. I need a new camera, if anyone is interested...
Well until next time, hope all is well. Have a Happy Holiday!
