Catch Up

So this post is long overdue, so let me just forewarn you of pictures and random thoughts. Warning, they may or may not be in chronological order. Sorry.

The Holiday Season. There are two traditions that we do as a family every year at the start of the December. The first is to go to Payson where my Aunt Wanda and Uncle Vernon lives and we go to the electrical light parade. My dad brings his fire pit to help us keep warm, and when the parade is over we head back to my Aunt and Uncle's house and eat super yummy food. Mmm Spudnuts (homemade doughnuts). The past few years during this tradition it has been FREEZING so I went overboard on the clothes and blankets. It wasn't too cold this year, but I felt like a retard caring all the blankets that really weren't needed.

The second tradition is that my parents take us all to Zoolights. Love it. If you haven't gone, you have until Sunday night. We usually go during the members only days, but due to every one's crazy schedule, we went the Saturday before Christmas.....ha ha ha.....not wise. Wicked crazy busy. But the girls had a blast. Tiffany would look at the lights and go "Ooooooo wow......wasz dat?" I'm just happy that "Wasz dat?" now sounds like Whats that instead of the BS word that it use to sound like. I would get mean looks in public when she would udder her question.

Next was our family Christmas Eve Party. We play our own version of pass the present when the word "the" is said while my aunt reads T'was Night Before Christmas. After that we act our our version of the Nativity. Yeah - sometimes it gets a tad outta control with the wise men, also known as the wise guys.

Our final tradition is Christmas morning. When the girls wake up, they find a letter from Santa and new slippers. The note points out nice things they did over the year and then tells them that their presents are at Granny and Grandpa's house. It tells them to brush their teeth and go wake up their parents, put on their slippers and head over to open their gifts. I was up at 7am awaiting their jumps into my bed...I waited an hour.

I got everything I wanted for Christmas, the Monkees on DVD, a electric griddle, a ring, and the new laptop I am posting from. I got Aaron a shotgun - previous post - new desktop computer, and Python-opoly. It's Monopoly with the Holy Grail theme. Totally awesome!!

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and I wish you and your family and amazing 2009. We are going to kick off this year by taking Ashlee and Elle to the Lion King next week. They have no clue. It will be a total surprise. Yeah - another side note - don't take your meds to help you sleep and then surf the web. You wake up the next morning with a nice purchase of tickets to the Lion King.
