The Holidays!!!!

Well Christmas and New Years flew by and I am sad to say I didn’t really take many pictures!

We spent Christmas Eve with Scott’s extended family in San Carlos. It was a very nice time! We had a typical white elephant…we got a new calendar entitled, “a year of advice from President Obama” so if you need any advice be sure to let me know =). Originally I had four movie tickets by my dear sister in law decided to nick them from me, alas I got stuck with Obama.

Scott had a Christmas miracle this Christmas; somehow I decided to surprise him with a Wii. What was I thinking? I have no idea, but I will confess I have been on it with him an awful lot. Tetris Party, bowling and tennis are a blast!

Liam of course made out like a bandit…clothes, toys; you name it he got it. I ordered him a bunch of Christmas Classic’s on DVD. I grew up on them and am a sucker for Frosty, today we watched Frosty. I think it was really Liam’s first time watching TV. He was so excited when the kids were cheering for Frosty, his little body was shaking and his arms up in the air as he let out a high pitched squeal. It was precious!

Liam and his loot!

I made out pretty good too! A new coat, I am now worthy to go into the city, I have a long black coat. Running gear, catch me if you can daddy-o! We will have to have a race when I come visit.=) I also got some books. My friend Amy recommended The Mother at Home by John S.C. Abbott. Whew weezers it is severe! Very sobering but in a very good way, I have only read the first chapter but it is one of those books that makes your heart fall on its knees before a mighty God and plead to be a worthy mother.

We took Liam to see Santa at the mall

Yeah...getting him to smile was tough and he spit up on his vest =(

New Years we enjoyed with our next door neighbors. We had appetizers and played games, incidentally our house got toilet papered for the first time too that night! Hmmmm…..wonder who could have done it? My guess would be some certain friends who had to leave the party early….WENSLAWSKIS!
