our christmas weekend

well, christmas turned out pretty good after all! we started out on friday (christmas day) at home in our pj's. making phone calls to family. eating christmas cookies for breakfast :)
T called his sister here in colorado. her daughter and new family are there. insisting that we come down to share dinner with them. There is more than enough. after some hemming and hawing, we agree to get dressed and go down to their house. lol! we haven't been in the christmas spirit much this year.
so, we go down and visit. dinner is big and more than enough. ham is so much better with family, christmas cookies and fudges, and pies! T's niece has a 5 month old baby. got to hold her and she didn't cry. she's sweet. looks like she's shocked all the time. her eyes are wide open and her mouth is in a permenent o. poor cats even had outfits on. after dessert we played wii with the kids and any adult that would dare to make a fool of themselves. it's a lot of fun! stayed very late and slept in very long the next morning. finally did get up, but too late for any of the early morning sales. oh well. went to wally world and used all our gift cards to get our own wii and a couple of games. family entertainment.
surprisingly it works! P has come out of her room! played with the wii saturday night and all day sunday. it' s the most i've seen of her. lol, she normally stays in her room reading or/and listening to music.
Christmas was good after all. :)

What a nice Christmas. That girl sounds just like two girls I used to know. :)

Congrats on your Wii! Wii have one, too! I have to admit, I don’t know how, but we could link up and play each other. Oooh, now I’m excited! I haven’t played it much at all, but to kick your butt at bowling from across the country would be a blast.

yes it would be fun to kick your butt from across the miles. But, alas.. it requires real internet. and i have the usb thingy i plug into my laptop. it doesn't come in at the house. weak signal. maybe i'll move soon and i can get reception!
