I cannot believe it is Friday already… the week has just flown by! I can’t seem to get anything done this week- no attention span at all.

Had a little scare this week with my mother- she was in the hospital since Tuesday but is feeling much better now. It is amazing what a night’s sleep back in your own bed can do, huh? So relieved that she is no the way to recovery. Scares you when your very foundation gets kicked out under you- a wake-up call that I guess I needed. We all have to appreciate our loved ones every day- you just never know what can happen!

Anyway, back to Christmas.

The past couple weeks have been such a blur- down to New Jersey to see my parents, shopping with mom, Casey and my brother flying in, pretend Christmas day on Saturday with my family since we headed up to New Hampshire to spend the actual day with Casey’s family (his year this year).

Bob celebrated the season in style, man. See his Christmas flair?!! He knows he is hot stuff. haha

I opened up my big present from Casey at my parents house, my beautiful wheel. (Louet Victoria) We just couldn’t wait to give each other our presents. It also made it a little less sad to have Christmas early with my family that way.

Here she is in my living room. Ooooh aaaaaah…

Bob did a little shopping of his own and got Casey a very special present. A Boston Terrier mug. We’ll be singing that Terrier song from Best in Show in no time now. haha (Okay, enough movie references for one post.)

I gave Casey, among other things, a knitted mini stocking ornament. We have an ornament tradition (like Miss Carrie) and we always exchange ornaments every year. Isn’t it cute? I was so happy with how it turned out. (The pattern is from Last Minute Knitted Gifts- I used some cotton blend that I had in my stash…)

On Christmas eve, I drove the 5 hours to New Hampshire squirming in my seat- I had caught that awful stomach flu that has been going around. Casey had ripped a contact and didn’t have a spare or glasses with him so he couldn’t drive. SO. FUN. Casey felt so bad but we made it safe and sound.

Here we are for the traditional Christmas Stair PictureTM in our fabulous Christmas pajamas. Aww yeah. Casey’s sister’s boyfriend couldn’t make it so he was added in. haha

Can you spot all the doggies? (there’s 3) Micah, the fat yellow lab, was pushing me off the stair in her excitement to be in the Christmas Stair PictureTM. Or maybe she was just pissed she didn’t have the pajamas?

Well, that is it for Christmas cheer. I have been writing this post for hours and hours now. I have spinning questions for people out there but it will have to wait until tomorrow….
