1. We had a lovely Christmas. Did you?

2. Dash and Kate with their loot from our house.

3. Dash sweetly gave his sister both of her presents. He didn’t even try to keep them for himself. =)

4. We played around with the camera the day after Christmas…

These are my favorites.

5. John got a fry daddy for Christmas from me, we’ve already Christened it with onion rings and chicken fingers. Yum.

6. Did you know Big Bob BBQ sauce mixed with white sauce is delicious?

7. The radiator is acting up on the truck so I drove the car today and John was going to look at the truck while I was at work. I also accidentally took the truck keys with me to work. Whoops.

8. I’m looking forward to Krispy Kreme on New Year’s Eve. =)

9. I’m also looking forward to 2010. Surely it will be better than 2009, right?

10. We got our nooks at work and I’m on the fence about keeping it and downloading every free book known to man or selling it on ebay and buying something else.

11. (Bonus!) We’re tearing up some new Super Mario Brothers for Wii at our house. =) I bought the Mario and Sonic olympics game, too, we’re checking that out tonight.

I had to bribe Dash with a Christmas present to get him to sit and smile with his sister, but in the meantime I took a few of Miss Kate.

1. Biggest Loser Finale is tonight! Yay!! I’m pulling for Amanda and Daniel. I doubt Amanda has a chance but Daniel might with the at home competition…

2. Kate is officially sitting up. At 4.5 months. That’s a full month and a half sooner than Dash.

3. Christmas shopping is done save a Super Mario Brothers game for John’s brother’s kids.

4. We committed to not junking up our house with stuff that won’t get played with for long and I think we did a pretty good job. Mostly Melissa and Doug wooden food, a few Thomas sets and a marble run game. Kate’s getting some cute fisher price blocks that Dash likes, too.

5. We had our office Christmas party the other day and we all got Nooks, Barnes and Noble’s version of the Kindle. Still not sure how I feel about that, I like paper books but I also like gadgety techy things. =)

6. All of us were super sick for the past few weeks with a cold that would.not.die. We’re all better now, thank goodness. My parents caught it too and they’re better as well.

7. I think we’re starting baby food in the next few weeks. I’m going to try making my own again. So far I have a ton of sweet potato frozen, ready to go. =)

8. Seven (and now eight) is going to have to do it! I have to get back to work!!
