Catching up!

I have not blogged in ....what?? 18 days???

Well things have not been hectic...can't blame it on that. I have just been....tired! I hardly get on the computer at night anymore. I usually go to bed ...at a decent hour.

Wednesday December 17th Lynzi got a phone call from Santa! She was so excited. (I will try to post that video later. I am at work and don't have my SD card with me.) She talked about it for days!!!

Christmas eve we went to our church for a nice Candlelight service. We had more people there for that than we ever have!! It was great. After that Gene, Lynzi and I went driving around to look at lights. It was a good way to spend our evening. Especially since the weather has been nice! Then we went home and put out cookies and milk for Santa and headed to bed. This year...I did not wait until Christmas Eve to wrap gifts, so it was a relaxing Christmas Eve.

Christmas was nice...and simple. We didn't send out Christmas Cards, we didn't fret about what we were getting who. We bought for very few this year. Gene and I exchanged 1 gift...which were pajamas. The rest was for Lynzi under the tree. And she didn't get as much this year...but she did get everything she wanted. Praise God everything she wanted was cheap! HA! We didn't exchange with my family either. Grandpa, Grandma and Aunt Tina just bought Lynzi gifts. We didn't fret over who wanted what...and what in the heck are we getting dad this year! I didn't even exchange with close friends this year. There isn't anything we NEEDED. It was a nice, calm, relaxing Christmas.

On Christmas Eve day...we went to Julie house. Lynzi had some gifts there. She got some cute clothes...as usual, some boots, games and a Ponyville. Later that night Lynzi said she had to find out Santa's phone number to tell him she doesn't' need Ponyville now!! HA!

Other gifts she asked Santa for....
  • Barbie with Dog
  • Barbie Car (for her Barbie's, not her)
  • Bubble Gum Machine

She got that and much more. With her Christmas money she got a V-Smile Cyber Pocket game system. She has never really played video games...so this is a new thing for her.

For New Year's we are planning on going to Fort Wayne to stay with our friends Andy, Krista and Seth. (As long as Krista and I are feeling up to it! She is due 4 days after me! Neat, huh?) Poor guys, they don't know what they are getting into having us both in the same house over night! HA!

I will have to post pictures later. I just had a burst of energy to type...not post pics! HA!

Later!
