It is New Year's Eve. It is amazing how fast this year has gone by. We are going to Stacey's parents' house tonight. There is a surprise birthday party for Stacey there. I'm not sure how long we'll stay, but I get to see Tamara and Melissa as well as Stacey, so I'm happy about that. I'm sure we'll have fun.

Michaela's last swim practice for 2010 was this evening. They do not have practice tomorrow because of the holiday. Caleb and I did not have class so I just sat and watched and Caleb played in the gym with his basket ball. I took my new camera and messed around with it some. I read some of the owner's manual... what little bit of one they gave me with the camera, too.

I can't believe that I only have four days left of my winter break. It always goes by way too fast. I enjoy being home with my kids. We went to see Tangled today. It was cute. I would have preferred to see Yogi Bear, but Tangled was fun.
They showed previews for another movie that really looked funny. It's called Gnomeo and Juliet. It's a Romeo and Juliet story about garden gnomes. The kids and I all want to see it.

Today is Michael's Dad's birthday. Since we celebrated it on Sunday, I had the kids call him. They love doing that and I'm sure he loves hearing them say Happy Birthday.
The kids and I spent the day cleaning up the house again. It seems we spend a lot of time doing that when we don't have to be at school/work.

Today was "put away Christmas" day. I spent most of the day putting away Christmas decorations. I started with my Santa Clauses. Then, I started on the other stuff. The kids took the ornaments off the tree. Michael took the tree apart when everything was off of it. I put all the boxes and bins back where they belong in the back room downstairs.
I did not realize it until it was too late, but I filled up the tote that the blow up snowman is supposed to go in with other stuff, so it's still up. We're going to have to buy a new tote for it. I also left out the snowmen on the landing. The wreaths on the front door and the kids' doors are also still hanging up. We'll take the wreaths down at the end of January. The snowmen can be put away when winter is over.
In any case it's put away and I'm glad that is behind me. It is a chore I do not enjoy and it depresses me. However, it is a relief to have it over and it is nice to have my house back to normal.

Today we celebrated Lloyd's and Gale's birthdays. We all met at Red Lobster. We gave Lloyd cashews and cologne. We gave Gale an ornament and a candle. We also gave Jeremy Jr. his birthday present (over a month late). We gave him an Xbox card.
Supper was nice. I got to talk to Kelly some. I had crab legs and that's always good. Other than that we didn't do much today.

It is Christmas Day. It seems to come faster and faster every year.
We got up around 8:00 a.m. here at home. The kids seemed very happy with how spoiled they got. Both of them got new comforters from Santa. Michaela's is purple, black, white patchwork with animal print on some of the patches. Caleb's is sports themed. They both got a lot of clothes, too. There were DS games and Wii games and some board games.
Michael got a new drill set that has two drills and two batteries. The batteries are the new Lithium Ion batteries. He also got a drill bit set with a bag, two shirts and a Charlie Brown DVD set.
I got a new camera!!!! It's another Fuji. It has 12.1 mega pixels and 18x optical zoom. It's got 14 scene settings. It is amazing. I love it!!! I also got another set of Scottie pajamas which I'll have to take back. And, I got another purple sweater, but a different purple, Season 3 of Big Bang Theory on DVD.
After we were finished here at home, we got dressed and went over to Michael's parents' house. We opened presents there before we had diner.
I got a candle, Bejewled Blitz, a new coat and gloves and a scarf and a new jewelry box. All the "boys" got remote controlled helicopters. We all got spoiled. It was a really good day.
