Well, again I am having alot of pressure from my sister-inlaw. But then again if she didn't kick me in the butt to do it I wouldn't.

Let's see what has happened.
Christmas: We had a great time this year. I was much better then usual. (I really don't like Christmas). About 2 weeks before the day, I had all my shopping done and the tree up. At that point I started enjoying the season. Once the first $1000.00 bucks are spent theres no need to panic about how your going to pay for it!!!! Just throw out the card!!!.
Christmas eve was spent with my Parents over for dinner. We had our traditional meal. BBQ babyback ribs, with twice baked potatoes and fresh green beans. But the best part are the homemade rolls. We had truffel for dessert. Afterwards we went upstairs and played Yahtzee( my mothers favorite game) Glade got yahtzee twice in one game. We all laughed til we couldn't breath. This is one of my favorite things about Christmas, is Christmas eve with my parents.
On Christmas morning we were up around 8am. Jordan had pretty much guessed all of her gifts. So to throw her off a little I made her do a scavenger hunt for her new 32" flat screen. This entertained her a little. We also go a wii, so we spent alot of time playing that in the am. At 1:00 we went to the Maughans and had our family party. Again we had a great time. Glades sister Janice had made a relay game where we had to put on a Santa costume, yell ho ho and then take it back off then run back for the next team member to do the same thing. I have got to say that the old folks (my age) beat the youngins.
For Christmas night we pulled our mattresses off our beds and all slept in the big room by the big TV and the Christmas tree. We had a blast. We didn't make our beds for 3 days. We layed on our mattresses, played the wii and just hang out. Glade didn't even snore to bad, so Jordan slept good. I'm use to his snoring by now. Besides I can sleep through pretty much anything. It is during the week between Christmas and New Years that I really like. House is a mess, but thats how it should be. And no pressure.

For New Years, Glade and I along with the Baileys and Leishmans went to Wendover for a Restless Heart concert. We stayed over night and came home around 2pm on New Years. We had a great time and it felt good to be out of town for the holiday.

Well I think I've done pretty good today with writing this long. I must admit it feels good.

For the the next post I will let you in on Jordans super busy schedule with school, volleyball and now softball starting.
