Fa La La La Pbbtthhhhhhhh

I had plans for what to do during the holidays and then I just went Pbbtthhhhh. I wanted to post the holiday letter on the blog, I was pushing it just to get it emailed before Christmas. I wanted to order more paper cards to send out, NOPE. Van still hates the idea of visiting Santa.

I did change up the outdoor decorations and the indoor decor came together after 3 days of tilting my head and saying I didn't like it. It did come out more Mike's style than mine,more rustic cottage than I wanted. But I do live in a house full of boys so pink sparkles just don't seem to fit in well.

Christmas went smoothly. The Grandparents all got in without problems. There were no medical problems. Santa came, toys were opened, tree was packed up to make room to play with toys, Christmas dinner was made and eaten. Other than some really sweet sweet potato mash things went great Christmas day.

New Years Eve the swing set was delivered, outside decorations came down since it was 65 degrees, really glad I did it then since its been a bit chilly since. we went to the neighbors to eat and shoot fireworks until Van admitted he was tired at 9:30. I am amazed at how many fireworks 5 families can amass.

My main goal for 2010 a new couch and maybe some chairs and to recover our dinning room chairs. The couch has lasted well over the price I paid for it and both Mike and I would like more seating. And well Van had done a number on the dinning room chairs. All easy fixes after once we decide on what we want. Hopefully all done by February.
