Christmas Day 2009


I hadn't posted any pics of my Christmas tree yet so here it is!  Here it is with the lights on in the livingroom.  It's still hard to see but the ornaments are silver, purple and a greenish/blue.



And here it is with the lights off!

Anyway...today is Christmas day.  It kind of stinks that we spend at least a month getting ready for today and then it's over so quickly.  But still...it was a nice, relaxing day.  Mom is pretty sick this year.  Bronchitus.  And because of the medicine, she was not feeling well at all today.  But that's ok.  I went over last night after church.  We got a few hours of laughing in before she started feeling pretty rough again.  I played with Snoodles and got her all worked up too!  We both got yelled at!  Then I spent the night.  I couldn't imagine being anywhere else on Christmas Eve even if I am 31 and know where the gifts really come from (and usually know what they are). 

We all slept in a little today and opened gifts a little later than normal...mainly just to let Mom rest.  I think Snoodles was the most anxious...cause she knew there were treats in the house that belonged to her!  She's a little spoiled!  I helped Mom cook dinner again this year.  One of these years I may attempt the ham...but for now, I'll leave that to the expert!  Mom wasn't really able to eat but Dad and I enjoyed it.  Plus Mom ate a little this evening.  I even took my normal Christmas nap in my old room!  We all slept for a little bit.  I didn't head home til later this evening.  I played my new Mario Bros game...so much fun and now I'm just relaxing on the couch watching tv.  After blogging, I think I'll pop a movie in and just enjoy the last of the nice, relaxing evening.

Oh, and I definitely can't forget the highlight of the holiday for me.  I went to church last night and the most adorable 6 year old in the world decided he wanted to sit on my lap for the service.  Keagen is probably getting too old to snuggle up to everyone and sit on laps but he chose to spend the majority of the service on my lap.  And when he wasn't on my lap, he was leaning against me all snuggled up.  And Kale of course kept coming and going.  He's just too busy to stay in one place for too long!  :-)  And before the night was over, I got my hands on Kiah.  Doesn't get any better than that...

I pray that you all had a wonderful Christmas surrounded by the ones you love!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Year, New Me

New year, new me. Who says that? Ok, a lot of people so no offense if you’re one of them.  But I like me. Sure, I’m not perfect. But I don’t want to really change all of me.  So no silly quote like that for me! It is hard to believe that 2019 is here. The older I get, the quicker time flies by.  I do remember being told that when I was a teenager.  Those people were so right.  It feels like yesterday that I was sitting in my quiet house while Johanna was off with friends celebrating the start of 2018.  But that was a year ago.  Today, I’m still sitting in my quiet house but that’s because Karyna is just waking up for the day.   A few years ago, I used to work on videos that would highlight my year.  I loved doing them but they took time.  And that’s time that I don’t have as much of these days.  It’s hard to go through a year of pictures and videos.  Do you know how many pictures I take a year?  My goodness!...

Lots of Names

Well, this is my fourth Friday in my apartment!!! It really does feel like home for the most part!!! Tera helped me...wait...I take that back. Tera MOVED my swing and table from mom and dad's a few weeks ago and so that is now on my deck! I love it!! Although, I have to admit that I haven't been home too much to enjoy it but at least I know it's there. Hopefully I'll get the chance to relax on my swing this weekend. I set my smoke alarm off the other night! That was funny! I was cooking a chicken patty and some fries in the oven. All of a sudden I hear this loud beeping! Of course once I realized it was the smoke alarm, I ran into the kitchen. Everything was good in there! Food was cooking just fine! Apparently it just got too hot in here for the smoke alarm. The funny part though is me standing on the chair trying to figure out why the alarm won't quit chirping every 45 seconds...even after I took out the battery! So after a text to the landlords (who laughed), I r...
