Merry Christmas to all!!

My parents came up for the past couple of days. It was nice that they came to visit but it sucks that is was for such a short time. Saturday we went to the mall. It was not as crowded as I thought it would be for 2 days before Christmas. We saw "Charlotte's Web." It was a cute show. Emily loved it though. She'd been talking about seeing it for about a week.

Sunday morning we opened our presents. Emily got "Fairy Wishes Dora," and a dollhouse. I know what they mean when they say Christmas really is for the kids. It's so much fun to see her face light up when she's opening her gifts.

I actually cooked my first turkey yesterday. It turned out really well. I roasted it in a Nesco roaster. I was afraid it would be dry but it was pretty juicy.

I hope everyone out there had a great Christmas. I wish everyone health and happiness in the new year.

Sorry, once again, that I haven't updated on a regular basis. Things just get so hectic with the holidays and settling into the new house that I have just been too tired to do anything else at night but crash.

Work sucked today. I thought I did something correctly but I didn't, and it came back to bite me in the butt. Things will be fine, it just sucks when you screw up and everyone knows about it. I say once again, my workplace is like one big disfunctional family.

We finally got our tree up as well as the other Christmas decorations. We hung some icicle lights on the outside of our house. They look pretty nice. We had also bought some of those net lights to put on our bushes, however, they were too small. Oh well. Next year I think I'd like to put some swag lights along our fence. I let Miles slide a bit and agreed not to do them this year.

I have also become an HGTV addict. I think now that I own a house I am excited about decorating things the way I want. I'm even kind of looking forward to gardening next year, and those of you that know me know that I am not a gardener by any means.

That's it for now. See everyone soon!
