Christmas Eve at Grandma Woolf's 2008

This was the First Christmas Eve in my entire life I didn't go to my mom's house. It was really hard not to be with my mom for Christmas Eve but I guess that's how it is when your married. My sister had her baby on the 22nd and the baby had to stay in the hospital because she had fluid in her lungs so she couldn't go up either. My mom's husbands kids went up there so atleast she wasn't alone. If I can't be with my own family then there's no other family I'd rather be with. We had a really nice dinner and Renee had lots of fun games for the kids it was a lot of fun. We all had a great time and it was nice that we could all be there with his family. Thanks for the X-mas present Sydney I loved it and needed it. We sure missed you and Scott on Christmas Eve. Thanks Renee for a memorable night!

Wendy's Birthday get away!

At the last minute I decided if I didn't get away from my kids, house and everything else I was going to go crazy or maybe I allready did but this was exactly what I needed just no long enough but it never is! Wednesday the 17th after working until 2:30p.m. I went home and finished packing up the kids stuff so we could drop them off at Grandma Renee's. What a joke that is trying to get out the door at a decent time. By the time we got to Renee's house we were so exhausted we thought we should have just stayed home. Well the whole way there I was pretty onry but after we checked into our room at the Castle Creek Inn I was fine it finally seemed real that we were actually alone. We really only had a few months after we got married before I got sick from being pregnant and then we had a newborn so we really are looking forward to the day when we can actually watch a movie without getting up 50 times, sit at the computer without jumping up every 5 seconds since Kinsley loves the stairs, or have anytime at all to relax. Someday! Any ways back to our night away. We went to dinner at Iggy's since we didn't want to drive around all night and we didn't know where anything was or where we were going. Dinner was great but I couldn't wait to get back to our room and relax. It was a really nice suite they had scented candles lit the fireplace going and it had a jacuzzi tub with a waterfall in it. It had a huge balcony eventhough it was a little too cold to hand out on. The view was beautiful like we were out in a forest covered with snow it was very romantic! The rest of the night you don't want to here about but it was wonderful it just went by way to fast. We got to sleep in a little and then went downstairs to breakfast at the Inn it was yummy. The whole stay was perfect and I never wanted it to end. The rest of the day my kids were awful and I was in the worst mood until we went to Garcia's for dinner with Brandon's parents and Scott it was a lot of fun. I guess turning 31 isn't so depressing after all!

Merry Christmas to all our friends and Family We love you!

Our Christmas card 2008

Renee gave me an early Birthday present and this was it along with a darling Christmas decoration and other pictures of Kinsley. How is it that she always has the best ideas what to get ya. I have been wanting to take Kinsley to get pictures for months but something has always come up and it never happens so this was amazing thanks so much for the wonderful gift Renee and for all you do for us! I've also been trying for weeks to get all the girls together for a picture for our Christmas card but someone was always gone and they didn't want to be in a picture so this was so nice. I really wanted to send out x-mas cards but I was ready to bag it this year so thanks again. We love you!

Slacker

I know I have been such a slacker but honestly who has time to blog between Thanksgiving and Christmas! I feel like I'm rushing from one thing to the next like a chicken with my head cut off and it never stops. Everything this week was fun stuff but I'm just so exhausted and never at home. Thanksgiving was wonderful we went to my mom's for dinner after Brandon got off work around 5:30 p.m. I love Thanksgiving dinner and everything that it stands for. I am so thankful for my life and wonderful family eventhough I don't always show it I love them all very much! This week has been crazy! I thought since I was all done shopping and rapping that we would have plenty of time to relax and do fun stuff but it just isn'y happening. Wednesday when I got off work we drove to Perry to drop off Kinsley and Jada at my mom's and went to Maddox for Brandon's work Christmas party. It was really good food and company and it was good to get out. Then we got home around 10:30 and had to move Makayla's bed out of her room since they were coming to put her carpet in. For those of you that didn't know when we painted her room one of the can tipped over and spilled all over before we even started. It was Fushia so no chance of getting that out. Since I'm so stubborn I didn't want to wait for anyone to get home to move her stuff back in her room so I did it myself. Boy am I paying for that stupidity! That night was our Bunko X-mas party at Corbin's. Almost the whole bunch was there the food was great and a few of us were quite silly thanks to those who ordered the wine. It was a blast! Friday My kids didn't wake up for school so on my one day to sleep in Makayla was banging on my door at 7:45 cuz she missed the bus. You can imagine how happy I was about taking her to school. We did get an exciting call befor we left my sister Katie had her baby girl and we are so happy for her! We need her to send us pictures though! hint hint.... Friday night we went to Renee's for a get together with no kids it was great! Except I really missed my Kins because I had been gone every single night all week. She went all out like usual. Her house was beuatifully decorated and the food was real yummy! She had a great idea for the kids for the twelve days of Christmas and I'll tell you about after we start. Well Kinsley is awake so I better go get her before she dives out of her bed!
