Faith, My God Daughter



Saturday evening Stephanie came our & brought my god daughter,Faith, to visit. She has gotten so big since the last time I saw her. I cooked dinner for Stephanie, Faith, & Patrina. We were hoping to have some friends from my training class at Amex come over that got married but we were unable to locate them. I hope they are having FUN!!!! I just had to post the pictures of Faith eating the corn. I thinking she is teething because she wouldn't let the cob go, & I have the kernals on the floor to prove it. I also gave faith her Christmas presents, of course she is more interested in eating the paper.

Christmas Day


Today we got to finally enjoy our Cristmas morning for the first time since we have been together. I did have to work that night, but I got to enjoy most of it with family. We spent Christmas Eve with my family & Christmas day with Keith's family. I made scarfs for all of Keiths aunts they loved them so much, I even got a modeling from Aunt Kate, scarf with matching coats. I was glad to see they enjoyed they gifts. It seemed to be a long day & then I had to go home to get a few hours of sleep before heading off to work. Fun stuff!!!!

Christmas Eve

Today was a little crazy, I ran around with Nancy & them went home to begin putting everything together for the visitors we were having over that night. So I managed to stay up for a complete 27-28 hours in a row. Nothing new around my house, at least for me. I tend to get busy & then don't have time to lay it down. My cousin Cameron & her family came over along with my mom, Scott & Tara. I just served snack foods & it seem to be a hit. Keith & I racked up good with gifts, just to list a few: Hand made mosaic mirror, Sanford & Son season 1 DVD, Meet the Robinson's DVD, roster stuff for the kitchen,& Autozone gift card. I had a friend from work make Tara a black & white blanket to go in her room, & she LOVED it! I also gave her some cash & money for Disney World In January. I gave mom a new cell phone, saddle pad, flask, & some ornaments for her tree.

Shoppping

This week has been crazy, between work schedule & a baby shower. I haven't had much time to finish my Christmas shopping. Keith has been so wonderful by helping me out with any thing I ask. I gave him a list to go get at the grocery store & he came back with ever thing!! I have been busy wrapping this week & even went to the mall on Friday to get my friends burp clothes embroidered. You know I must really like her in order to go to the mall the last Friday before Christmas!! What in the world was I thinking!?!?! I even went during the day thinking it wouldn't be so bad, but I had to get out fast. I almost cussed out 2 people for ignoring me & not helping me. I just don't understand I am there to buy YOUR merchandise & you don't want to take my MONEY!?!?! So let me think about this I am paying you to treat me like CRAP!?!?! I don't think So!!! You can keep your stuff and ignore the next customer see if they are stupid enough to pay you to treat them like crap!! And on my way I went. I did end up going to Kohls & got a wonderful cashier who was making jokes!! OH my god, where did she come from GIVE HER A RAISE RIGHT NOW!!!!! And that ends my shopping for this week!!!

Pakino

Card night with Keith's family. We try to get together about 1-2 times a year to play Pakino, it's a mix of Bingo & cards. It normally ends up being the Ladies in the kitchen playing & the mens in the living room watching TV & talking about sports. I enjoy having them over because it gives me a chance to catch up with them due to my crazy work schedule.

Cookie Party



I hosted a cookie party at my house today. We had a wonderful turn out & everyone enjoyed themselves. There were so many kids every were, we had the 3 older boys in the nursery & the new baby's in the living room so everyone could watch them. I now know just how much weight my travelling pack in play can hold. There was 3 boys in there together, so I never have to worry if I have big kids. I was surprised with the turnout, Frankie even came!

Sydney's Christening

Michael & Sydney
Michael, Sarah, Sydney, & Pastor Gavin

Sunday was Sydney's christening, she was a wonderful baby! She allowed the Pastor Gavin to hold her & walk up & down the alie so the congregation could see her. Afterwards we went back to Michael & Sarah's house to celebrate. Sydney had pasted out by that time & took at little cat nap. Once she was awake she was the center of attention agin.
Luckily Keith & I met Michael & Sarah for dinner on Friday so I got my loving in then. I knew with both sets of grandparents in the house, there was no way I was going to get to hold her.

Lynn's Dream House

My close friend Lynn has bought a new House in Brown Summitt. It is a beautiful brick house on 3 acres. She & her husband have been doing remodeling for the past month to change some of the rooms to acomidate her mother. I don't think I have ever seen 3 people so happy to be moving in with each other. This is the Dream House they have been dreaming of for years. Lynn is able to keep her mom there with them & Cody has a huge yard to play in with the dogs & soon to be horse, goat, & kittens. I wish them the best in the new home & will post pictures soon.

Christmas, Christmas Every Where

Keith & I finally started putting up the Christmas decorations around the house. I made Keith go with me to the condo to drag the Christmas stuff up the stairs & into the car. We then had to take them to the house. I can't wait until we can buy a storage building & everything will be in one location, but that is another item on the list for the house. Util we are able to buy one we will be dragging everything back & forth from the condo storage area to the house. Keith desided to go with the blue & white decorations this year. I think it looks beautiful, we placed the tree right infront of our window in the living room so people can see it when they drive by. Slowly the neighborhood is putting up it decoratations. I have been a little disappointed since we have so many kids in the development. I will start putting the decorations on the outside this week. I found live garland at Home Depot to put around the front & back porch. Keith is slowing figuring out I have been slowing building up the colklection of lights for the outside of the house over the past couple of years. Even though we haven't had a house until this year, but it's been helpful on the wallet.
