1.1.09 - christmas/new year
we had the pleasure of hosting christmas for mark's family this year, all in all, i would call it a success. the food was good, the kids were happy and it was nice to have all the family over. mark's cousins came in from san diego and florida, so we had a full house. we then traveled up to see my parents and had a quiet dinner with her fabulous lasagna dinner, yum yum. after all the hub bub of the holidays, we have been laying low and trying to kick all the germs we picked up from family.
mark had an ear infection, yow! and jake has something nasty.... he will be going to the doc's tomorrow (hopefully) josh seems to be suffering from cabin fever and i am hating this cold weather.
we had friends over for new year's eve, and had a competitive night of taboo and risk..... we watched all the partying on tv and hit the hay. we all have enjoyed our couple of weeks off and are sad to see it ending so soon and getting back to the normal schedule of work and school.
happy new years to all..... cheers to 2009.
12.6.08 - santa
so we go to visit santa and mrs. claus today and josh had a freak out. he got really shy and refused to sit on santa's lap. i felt kind of bad for the guy, so we get some cute pics of jacob and we go to leave and josh bursts into tears because he wanted his monster truck. (before we left to see santa i told josh that we can tell him what to bring us for christmas, he was really excited) apparently what he thought i meant was that we will go see santa, tell him what we want and he would deliver at that exact moment...... so josh was very said that he not only didn't get a present, but he did not get his really big big big monster truck either.
11.25.08 - new kitchen
i am so proud of mark. we have a new kitchen, he installed an over the range microwave and a dishwasher. plus we have a new fridge. we are finally dent free and ave handles where handles belong. we did it on the cheap, if you haven't heard of craigslist.com, you should utilize it, people sell all sorts of stuff for practically nothing and you can get some great finds. mark and i are finding out that naperville is a city that loved to upgrade. our fridge is only 3 years old and we got it for $125, can't beat that. hello side by side. goodbye food shoved all the way in the back which gets forgotten about on the bottom shelf.
anyone need a garage fridge?
a microwave?
or a dishwasher that works alright?
