Santa Came to Town

Santa was good to the fam this year. Here' how it started:

Here's how it went:

Now it's all gone. How fast Christmas came and went! Now we have a week together to play with all of our new stuff.



I'm super excited because I got the new coat on my Christmas list. And my sweet husband got me many great things including Sirius satellite radio for my car! I wish I could tape 'A' singing to her new High School Musical Wii game. She is scoring A+. I'm hoping to get to play the new Wii soon.

We finished some more work on the house last week. I'll post some more pictures tomorrow.

Turkey Lurkey

We started out with a brisk 2 mile sprint/walk at the Club this morning. Grandma Cindi, P Diddy, and I braved the cold while E-Turkey was leading the pack on his bike.

After some very cozy naps and Ratatouille, we collectively put together a Thanksgiving feast. It was so yummy and now I am stuffed. Must go run tomorrow.

Even Eliot is pooped out by the fire.

Look who's on Two Wheels!

Grandma & Grandpa are on their way!

First of all, let me say congratulations to Logan, Nell, Shana, and Jason who among others participated in the Grapevine Ultracentric. You all are hardcore! I wish I could have come to cheer you all on.

However, E and I were busy from sun up to sun down getting ready for Grandma and Grandpa to arrive from Oregon. We cleaned every square inch of our property. I'm usually better prepared; but E has made some big progress on our house since the last time most of you saw it. (Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa's scheduled arrival!)

Notice that the exposed framing is no longer exposed?

We're still waiting for a bigger ladder to finish the fireplace.

The end is in sight for this project. A little more mud, paint, and carpet.

We have lots to do this week. We're going to Medieval Times, a Mavericks game, a GM private tour, shopping with the girls, cooking a Thanksgiving dinner for the first time! And I anticipate lots of grandparent spoiling. My family has just left for the airport. It's so quiet.
