Christmas 2007

Hello everyone! It's been a while since my last blog....

We've been busy with Christmas parties, traveling to see family, baking, etc, etc. It was a wonderful holiday season and now it's time to get back to work.

This is a picture Lauren took of our living room. It is very tiny. We do have a larger den that had a pool table in it (which we recently sold) and now we can turn this larger room into our family room! It needs to be painted and we have to go furniture shopping so it will be a month or so before it is finished, but I can't wait!
















We had a great time visiting with everyone in TN. If you are reading this Aunt Denise, I'm sorry we missed you this visit, but we'll catch up with you next time, I promise!







Erik and Lauren playing "Guitar Hero" (XBox) in our hotel room in TN. They look really excited don't they?




Erik had a good time hanging out with Grandpa during our visit. He said on the way home in the car that "Grandpa was cool, I like him." I Think you scored some points Dad. :)




My Christmas present this year was a "Cricut." The scrapbookers reading this will know that it is a machine that cuts out letters & shapes for my scrapbooks. It's my favorite new toy. I couldn't wait to use it so I made letters for our stockings this year. Yes, I am Mommy and my presents come early. :) Jenny, this does not get you out of my embroidered stocking order.










Happy New Year everyone! In case anyone was wondering, I didn't get around to mailing out Christmas cards this year. I didn't forget about you. I just could never convince my whole family to be at home at the same time in order to get a family photo for my card.
Keep in touch everyone! Love to all!

Thanksgiving 2007

Lauren & I got to spend Thanksgiving in TN with Mary and her family. We went to her in-laws house for dinner and had a wonderful time. They are such good hosts and made us feel very welcome. As usual, we had a great time hanging out with Mary and the girls and even got to see Jennifer for a little while.










O Christmas Tree....

I've finally gotten most of our decorating done. It's taken a while since I've got a really bad cold (I've had to take a lot of breaks). It always amazes me that we forget to take a tape measure with us when we go pick out our tree every year. We think the trees are small until we get them home and realize they are a lot bigger than we thought. Our Angel is going to get a headache from banging her head on the ceiling. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas. To those of you that I will be visiting over the holidays, I can't wait to see you! :)
