100th Post! ...and Christmas

This is my 100th post. Crazy that I have that much to say about life.

Christmas was good. The whole family was together for Christmas morning. Bryan and his family surprised us on the Monday before. They hadn't planned on coming, but they did. I was so happy to have all the neices and the nephew there. It's been a quiet week since then. I'm not used to having this much time off from work. It's been nice, but it would have been nice to have something to look forward to every day other than mom coming home from the fabric shop.

On Christmas Eve I decided to stay home with my brother Kirk while the rest of the family went to Christmas Eve dinner at Lloyd and Claudia's. Kirk wanted to go to Red Apple, so I took him quickly before they closed. Since my mom had gotten him everything he usually bought, he couldn't decide what he wanted. The store was closing and I new that everyone wanted to get home so I was anxious to haveh im make decisions. He finally got most of what he wanted and then went back to the candy isle. In the process, he dropped his jar of nacho cheese, which broke. We went back to get another one, which he dropped and broke in the line. It would be much easier if he would let me hold things in the store. So, needless to say, we got out of the store 10 minutes after closing, had nacho cheese on his shoes from the mess, and I was out of patience. I guess that's why he is still here, to teach me patience.

Here are some of my favorites from Christmas:
