Christmas is gone and done with lets hope we can keep the feeling still for 2010

So as for all of us Christmas is done and we are all cleaning up from it. Here are some things I have heard from my family members why they are happy that Christmas is over.

my dad "I am glad that Christmas is done because I will not hear , "you can't watch that we need to wrap.""

My mom " I dont have to wrap anymore gifts."

Me, " no more going to the mall and spend way tomuch for others and my kids."

So i only can remember a few from those long nights of enjoyment but it was a lot of fun to see what people got and how they liked it. Hugh thinks that i spent to much on my family but I bought most things throughout the year and some i got for free the most expensive gift was my sisters nan. her was the crossstich of the Carston Alberta Temple. I had it already crossstiched but i needed to frame it and so i went to micheals in lethbridge. they did a great job but i could have had a better price. anyways it is done and they have it. it was so nice.

so we all had a great Christmas. We got the Wii and the kids are having so much fun with it. We can do it as a family and we have not stopped laughing the things that are kids do are so funny. Jamie is doing so well with being left handed that we can go to grammies and play with theirs. now that the big kids know what to do.

Off to finish cleaning. Hugh helped last night and did a great job now the rest of the house.

so everyone that reads this which i think is few i want to wish you al la HAPPY NEW YEAR AND GOOD LUCK IN 2010. ANYONE GOING TO THE OLYMPIC?

Here is the start of our Christmas Vacations But before it all starts this is what happened this week

This past week has been a non forgettable one. First Ruby and Cheryl where at mom and dads and we all could not wait to see them. But before we get to see them we had a very intresting beginning of the week.

Monday got up and got the two big kids off too school. Then got ready and go the othere three ready for going to town for their shots. Only two where getting them but we all had to go. so on the road by 8:30am get to town around 9am. I got the first one down who is our youngest Holly. she did really well did not cry that much. then came Jamie who is 4 years old. He started to cry not just cry but bawl because he did not want to get any needles. Then to my surprise Hugh show up which was a life saver because Jamie would not sit with me so Hugh held him. He had to get two so the nurse put them both in, in one arm. And that is just this morning. Then we go to the grocery store and buy supplies for baking christmas treats. yummy. And then we go home. it was cold that day i think when i was driving to town it was -35 but wiht the wind chill it was -47. Yah cold.

So we clean the house and then the other kids come home and Katelyn had a bloody nose. well the teachers at school did not seem to think that it was broken but i thought different. So i waited until hugh came home from work and told him. which katelyns nose was still bleeding. so he decided to take her in just in case. and sure enough it was broken. The swelling has gone down but what a day.

the rest of the week went fine. katelyn stayed home for one day and then went the next three days. because she did not want to miss the christmas concert and she also did nto want to miss her party at school . i went and helped in justins class and we did a red nose reindeer. turned out so cute and the kids had fun. well that was the most interesting week we had. we did get to see ruby and that was lots of fun to see her and auntie cheryl and we are happy that uncle justin got here safely here too.

the kids did wonderful at the christmas concert and they where so cute. i just cant believe that it is christmas already. but i am all done my shopping. spent a little more then i wanted to o but everything will work out. can not wait for everyone to open their gifts. so merry christmas to all and to all a great holiday.

hey has anyone watched a christmas story. if not check it out great holiday funny movie my families all time favorite.

Its begining to look like Christmas

I thought that I would show you all what my little village looks like on my piano. Two of my kids helped put it up and now they wont stop touching it. Well i hope the older ones will leave it alone. now i need to clean the rest of my house so i can get into the Christmas spirit. Later to day i am goingto my moms to wrap my kids presents becasue i am not going to get it done. if i dont go there to do it. And "Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas. i might do some baking later this week and then we are going to see the princess and the frog movie with the kids and my sister cheryl and her daughter ruby and our parents. cant wait . the kids cant wait either.

My fustration is on a altime high

LEt me begin by saying that Close to my heart is having a blow out and what makes me made is propay which is the company that is taking the credit cards from my website is not working so i have not been getting anyone ordering on my website. which i need the business so that ican make people happy. so i have sent all the papers that Propay needs but it still is not working and that is why iam so fustrated. i am right now on hold to see if my application has been processed and i am still waiting. i want to put in an order. so i just heard from them and they said that they will find out and call me when it will be processed. it has been three days and it should have taken 1-3days. and it has not. so what is up with that. it is not a aholiday down in the states so whats up? i am hoping it will be up and running because i have some orders to process for this great blow out which is a savings of 50%-80% off retail price and if you spend 150.dollars then you get $10 in shipping which is a great deal. and if you spend more the shippping stays the same. so i want it to work so i can email all the people and they can get an order in and ican make some money. it is such a great deal i wish it was working. so if it does then it is a merry little christmas miracle.
