Christmas Vacation With Ethan ~ Day 2

We took it easy for most of the day. We had lunch at McDonald's and Ethan played on the playground there. Then we went to the bookstore and came back with 3 great books.
The rest of the day was spent coloring, cutting paper and playing with cars.
I took Ethan home to his Mom, he slept all the way there.
It is so quiet here today.

Christmas Vacation With Ethan ~ Day 1....

We had a fun day yesterday. We watched cartoons until the sun warmed up the field across the street, then Grandpa and Ethan played some baseball.
Then Ethan and Grandpa picked some lemons off the tree for lemonade.
We had a snack of mini marshmallows! Yummy!
Tune in tomorrow for an update on the fun we had today!

Great Week...New Year!

It is going to be a busy and great week, I have every day this week already filled up!
Ethan is on his two week Christmas break, so he is going to spend Monday and Tuesday with me. Wednesday is New Years Eve and then it will be a brand new Year
Everyone have a happy new year!

Christmas Eve Scrapbook page

I took the pictures from Christmas Eve and made this page for my scrapbook.
I really like how it turned out.

A fun Christmas...

Stephen and Julie posed in matching "Ugly" Sweatshirts.

Day after Christmas...

It is the day after Christmas, kind of cold and rainy out. I was looking through my gifts trying to decide what I am going to do today. (I do know I have to do some work!)
Peter got me this great digital picture frame, so... my mission today is to figure out how it works and set it up. First, I need to decide if I want it in my office or in my bedroom. Those are the two places I spend the most time.

Merry Christmas...

Christmas Eve was our family celebration. We had a great time and guess who ended up with a huge pile of presents? Ethan! He was so happy and excited!
Before everyone went home, we all piled onto the couch for a family picture. We all look a little goofy, but what fun!

A Great Quote

I found this quote first thing this morning:

Dost thou love life?
Then do not squander time,
for that is the stuff life is made of.
- Benjamin Franklin

It made me think of all the things I have to do to get ready for Christmas!
So I am off and running to shop and finish all Christmas preparations today so I can relax and enjoy my holiday.

Lemon Picking

I went outside to pick lemons off of our lemon tree, only to be chased around by "Bear".
He wanted to play and everytime I picked a lemon, he tried to take it out of my hand. I did manage to get in the house with 2 lemons!
What a nutty dog!

Christmas List...continued

We got some Christmas money from our folks this week and the first thing we did was go and buy a new fancy Ice Tea Maker. Just made the first pitcher and all is right with the world!

Busy!!!!

Had a busy weekend, went to two parties, one Saturday night and one Sunday night.
Sunday was "Pie Night" at my friend's house. She makes a bunch of pies, invites everyone over, we all eat pie, exchange gifts and go home with a plate full of pie! So much fun!

Christmas List

Everyone asks "What do you want for Christmas?".
My answer, I really don't need anything.
Well, my favorite kitchen appliance broke today.
Jeff dropped the Mr. Tea pitcher and the bottom
broke. So anyone wanting
to know what I want for Christmas, I need a new Mr. Tea!

Kindergarten School Picture

My grandson's first school picture is so cute, I had to share it with everyone!

Holiday Spirit

Getting into the Holiday spirit, put up my tree and decorations this week. It looks great!
