13th day of Christmas

Wow, I am tired. It is a happy, satisfied tired. It is the day after Christmas and all is quiet except for the sound of the Wii system and the hum of the dishwasher and washing machine.....

Our family had a great Christmas...mom O, Uncle Sean, Uncle Tim, The Great one, Aunt Diane, Mimi and Popi, Uncle Mike , Aunt Marynne, Danielle and Ashley. It was so nice to have everyone. Who knew there would be salsa dancing on christmas??? Our patio made a great dance floor. We all ate and drank for 48 hours straight. Joe and Ashley wrote and sang songs , Joe made a fire, mom and I were happily cooking nonstop throughout the day. It is what makes the holidays so nice.

Bash had a fantastic Christmas...Santa came bright and early a little before 6 A.M. He got everything he wanted and then some. The spiderman web shooter was the most important gift and he was really glad Santa remembered that one :) Grammy, mimi and popi and Bash's Uncles were VERY generous. Pogo sticks, transformers, games, guitars and walkie talkies that are so powerful we can reach Joe at work on them (probably another state). Everyone had fun with those and Bash.
Anyhoo to much fun to even write about and I have no more energy to write about all the great things from the pst few days.
Pics will come later...everyone has to see the dancing!

Catching up....

Let's see...it has been awhile. In the past month, we took a wonderful short trip to Orlando with our neighbors and had a blast. Hannah and Bash had so much fun...and Joe, Stephen, Patty ,and I got to act like big kids too! Thanksgiving came and went and now it is 7 days till Christmas.

Holy Crap...7 days till Christmas! Bash is in full crazy mode. He is bouncing off the walls...I am not sure if he is going to make it to the big day. If he continues to keep shaking the gifts to see what they are...everything under the tree will be broke by Tuesday. He is off of school which I am glad for because we had a cold snap and getting out the door in 40 degree weather is not my kind of fun. Although it will be 80 by Friday.

The rest of this week is full of last minute shopping for gifts, christmas dinner, and my sanity. I'm leaving the baking for my mom (she is better at it anyway :) Mimi and papi come to town on Sat. and the rest of the family will be here on the 24th.

Back to wrapping....
