Christmas was wonderful. The kids always say they love the things they get. This year the 3 older kids got new Mp3 players with 2inch screens. Isabelle, Mike & I got mp3 players that we got on Black Friday so they were a really good deal. Everyone got lots of clothes. It seems growth spurts hit everyone this year. We have invited my sister (and her kids), our niece and her new baby and my mom for Christmas dinner. The only one that showed up was Nana and we were so happy. She hasn't been to our house since just after we moved in. I showed her everything that we have done since then sat her down in the kitchen so i could finish getting dinner ready. It was a great meal and great company. Nana didn't stay long after dinner because it's a long ride if your not use to it.The Saturday after Christmas we drove to visit Mike's mom and sister. (they bought a beautiful home in western Va) We were going to spend a few days but no one to watch the animals so we drove up and back in one day. We left Marissa there so we had to go back and get her. Mike, Isabelle & I drove back New Years day. (the boys stayed at my mom's)
We spent the weekend not doing a whole lot of anything. Mike did have to change the element on the hot water heater but that was about it.
Today the kids went back to school and Mike to work so i went back to working on the house. Today I finally got the grandma suite primed...window trim...ceiling trim and base boards painted. I'm hoping to get the room done by the end of the week...so Mike has to replace the door & dry wall 2 walls...
