Christmas was great. We had a great time with the kids and even my mom. I was amazed at how wired the kids were on Christmas eve. I have worked different hours so we are nicely out of schedule.

The Kids are terrific and and were very pleased to get the gifts they did and even more pleased to visit with family. We saw Pernell's oldest brother and kids... when I say kids I mean young ladies. They are truly amazing girls with beautiful outlooks on life, great senses of humor, love for friends and family and I was just blown away at how lovely they are! Jake was thrilled to have a captive audience as he told them every heart break that has ever happened to him... "Luke puthed (pushed) me and that hurt my fellingth(feelings)" and so on. He want to see the "cousin thith terth (sisiters)" again soon :)

It was terrific to see Pernell's Parents... who I adore! I got to sit and drink tea with my mother-in-law while the rest of the troops went to a movie... Jake stayed with us too. Pernell's sister was at the visit too. The kids adore her and it really is too bad we don't see more of her. She of course spoiled the kids with hugs, fun and gifts. I truly couldn't be more blessed with better aunt's and uncles for my children!

Pernell spoiled me far beyond what I deserve this Christmas! This weekend coming we as a family are going to Niagara Falls for the weekend. Included a billion things to do, a massive/huge pool/water slides/water fall in the hotel. Oh I can't wait!!!!

This is getting long so I will end for now... I will be better at posting :)
