Christmas festivities...

OK, so I have to apologize for and explain my complete failure to keep my blog updated......we had a total computer meltdown!! I originally was just looking to get the thing to recognize the CD drive again, then the hard drive crased, then I had to wait for someone I know to see if he could get any of my stuff off the hard drive (you can't rush or complain about free help!!!). He eventually did ...YEA!!!! Then I was too scared to turn it on for a while. Finally, braved the power button and quickly got all my stuff transfered to an external hard drive, and after all that, the CD drive is still not working! Looks like it's time for a new computer!  *sigh* Anyway, the next several posts will be all the stuff that has happened for the last two months! So here we go.....

Back to Christmas....we had lots of fun spending a special day with family! We were also able to attend church today and listen to our fabulous choir!! They are absolutely amazing!! It was also wonderful to remember the reason we celebrate Christmas!!!

Our tree was gorgeous, the boys had a blast and my house will not be the same......ahhh, I LOVE it!!
Here are a few pics...
The tree

Nathan with his stash at home

Scott was excited about his new 3DS!

Alan was happy to have a replacement Ipod (we're waiting to see how long he hangs onto this one!), a new phone (again, anxious to see how long it takes him to lose it) and an Xbox--yup, ridiculously spoiled (and in need of a haircut)!!!!!

And if all that weren't enough, he goes to Grandma and Grandpa Curtice's and gets the parts and instructions to build his own go-cart!!!! So cool--I can't wait!!!! You'll have to check back for pictures of the completed project! : )

Then there was Nathan with his Optimus Prime--not sure how to make a face with rolling eyes!! He was so excited, but his Dad and I were exhausted from a ridiculous number of minutes making the thing "transform" from a robot to the semi!!!!!

Scott got a haul of video games...then it was on to the Thompson's. Here are the boys posing with their stockings from Aunt Laura. So cute!

And here's one of Scott sporting his Green Bay gear--had, jersey (with "Thompson" on the back), pillow pet thingy, what you can't see are the slippers on his feet! (Yes, he was nearly devestated that they did not make it to the Super Bowl!)

All-in-all a lovely day!! Hope everyone else had a great Christmas!

We'll cover January festivities next! : )
