Well, Christmas is over and the kids made out like bandits. Now that we have new toys to play with, we are still fighting like cats and dogs. I'm starting to think I'm ready for school to start up again. The kids got some really nice things. Lauren got a Nintendo DS and a new baby. She really likes her new stuff. I personally like the Nintendo DS because I bought some games for me to play. I'm getting pretty good at bowling and darts. Grant got a skid loader, a sprayer and a semi truck. Just what he wanted farm toys. He also got some underwear with tractors on them. I think it's official he's a farmer. Christmas if fun and I love all the things that goes with it but I have to say that I'm glad it's over. Now maybe we can get back to normal. What ever normal is. New Year's Eve will be spent at the Darbyshire house. We are looking forward to attending.

Well, Christmas is almost here and I am still not done shopping. Why do I do this every year. I think I will start early and get done early but no it doesn't work that way. The kids were excited about Santa coming to town last weekend. They told him what they wanted. Lauren asked for a puppy. I heard Santa tell her he would have to talk with her mommy first. Yeah, me and Santa had some words and there will not be any puppy for Lauren. Sorry Lauren! Grant had an accident two weeks ago. He fell into an oak chair and split his forehead. We spent 2 1/2 hours in the emergency room to get glued back together. The Doctor glued her finger to his eyebrow and had to pull it off. That made Grant cry. He was a big boy though. He was really good while waiting. He was treated to ice cream after. I hope everyone is ready for Christmas. I hope to post more things to my blog once the Holidays are over. Take Care.

I went shopping with my good friend Emily on Saturday and had a fun time. We spent the afternoon dodging people and vehicles. We only about got into it once with someone for taking our park at Best Buy but because we are forgiving people we let it go. Oh and it is the Christmas season right! My shopping is half done. I hope to go to get the boy toys this week and be about done. This would be a new record for getting done shopping this early.

We took pictures of the all the Linsey Grandkids on Thanksgiving morning. I think they turned out pretty good. They are for something special at Christmas. I just hope it turns out the way I want it to.

Christmas shopping has officially started at the Williams house. I have a lot to shop for and little time to do it in. I hope to have a successful shopping trip on Saturday. Wish me luck. I have all my decorations up. There is just something about a having your decorations up and the lights on the tree shining to make you feel warm and cozy.
