All Balls

All Balls

Where to begin....

These past several weeks have been a whirl wind. I was off from work for two weeks(Thank you very much). The first week I spent cleaning and cleaning and cleaning.....in preparation for the upcoming holiday.  Let's see what was it again, oh yeah - CHRISTMAS.
Chad, Jaycee,Cody (from south Texas, Jenn had to work and go to school and wasn't able to make it) were due in along with Corey, Robyn, Jaxson and Annabelle (from Maryland). Christmas Day is traditionally held at my house. I invite all the family. We have a Chinese gift exchange, play a few games, eat a LOT of food and enjoy much needed time together. In the past, this has occurred in the morning. I changed it this year to the evening to accomodate some of the family that was not available till the evening. I wanted as many people as possible to be together. We had a great time and here are some pics to show how the evening went....

After Christmas, Chad had to go back to work, so Jaycee and Cody stayed behind to spend time with the rest of the family. WE had so much fun. We played, we ate, got haircuts, laughed, cried, went roller skating, watched football (ALOT of football) played the Wii, had sleep overs, played outside (the weather was BEEEEE U TI FULLLL) ate some more, went to the movies......


Jaycee cut about 3 inches off.....



AB got ALOT cut off...now she looks just like mommy!!


Robyn's birthday was on Monday and we told her we would do whatever she wanted. Who knew it would be to go ROLLER SKATING.......

Belle was content to watch TV between Sam and Cappy.....they love her so much!!!


I got all the kids sleeping bags with their names on, so we made a pallet on the living room floor and had a sleep over !
All nestled, all snug in their beds.....

Wii Fun - Just dance.....Go Corey, go Corey

Unforunately all good things must come to an end....

Finished up on Friday night with dinner at BJ's Brewhouse...

And to all - A GOOD NIGHT !!
