We went out to eat at Macaroni Grill for the first time ever tonight. Food was delicious, service was great and they had a milk-allergy friendly menu available for Shelby, which included a dessert that was safe for him! We asked them to substitute that for the usual 'Birthday Ice Cream' and a server sang 'Happy Birthday' to him in Italian!

My Dad made this highchair for me when I was little for my dolls, It's so funny Emily can fit in it now. She looks just like a little doll

Putting batteries into one of Allison's old Bop-It toys that Annie found. And, remembering the Simpsons episode from a few weeks ago, where the kids are playing with a 'Bop It' in the car to the point where Homer ends up throwing it out the window. Of course, right then, a father in a passing car does the exact same thing & the Bop It lands in the back seat with Bart & Lisa.

James loves his 4 Wheeler he rides it all the time. My dad and Jess gave it to him for Christmas.

We went out to see Alvin & to go shopping with some Christmas money that they received as gifts. Allison bought a new Zelda game for her DS & was reading us the backstory as we waited in the car for Annie & Jim to come out of Aldi's.

We went looking for a cat for Dylan for his birthday. And, then came in out of that snowstorm to play some Super Mario Brothers Wii. That's Cole, Dylan, Lauren (Dylan's girlfriend) and Dave (Dylan's roommate)

We tried to use the new sleds today, but, surprisingly, the snow was too fluffy to slide on.
Margie December 26, 2009
Spent some time today playing with my new toys. The digital picture frame even plays music. That was a gift from Gabby!

Jim made an ornament in kindergarten in 1969, that we hang up every year. Annie made one very similar to it this year. She likes that they're the same.

this is so sweet James loves his sister. He is always giving her kisses. Then later on we went to Colleen's and James had lots of fun and loved all his gifts, thanks so much to everyone for making his Christmas so special! He got so excited every time he got handed a gift. This was such a great Christmas, I loved seeing how excited he got!

"Our home may not be much to look at from the outside but the inside will really be bright and cheerful and so full of love. You know in a home it's really not the furnishings that make a nice place, it's the love for one another of it's people that are in the home that counts and makes a place bright and cheerful to live in." - Dad (May 11, 1944)

I think that I finished up all of the wrapping tonight. I have a nagging feeling, though, that I forgot something...

Cole (and I) added on to the snow fort with all of the new snow that we got today. Notice how the first section of the fort is tipping over. We don't think that it is going to last the night, it is really leaning over.
Maureen December 22, 2009
We got another new ornament for our tree today - a gift from a wonderful sister/neighbor. Thanks Molly! It's beautiful! Annie hung it way up at the top.
Miranda December 22, 2009
I dislike that the plows come, after I have shoveled our driveway of course, and snow piles up at the end of the driveway. It took me, what seemed like forever, to get the end of the drive way clear. Not sure what I expect them to do, but rrrgghh!

I didn't take many pictures, today, but the kids did. They borrowed my camera & took lots of pictures of the pets to upload to lolcats. This is one of them.
Miranda December 21, 2009
I did the bills today...can't they just go away until after the holidays? : )
