CHRISTMAS REVIEW..

I tried to write this earlier today but then accidently deleted the whole bloody thing while trying to get rid of duplicate pics that somehow got put on... ( I dunno!- I still am such a Rookie at this Blogging! ) arrrg! so now hours later ..I'm home from work & ought to redo it..

Chrisitmas.. welll..it's done yay! ... Still no Baby ( geees why did I take time off work? )

But Christmas turned out to be a real whirlwind few days! LOTS of visiting & having friends over..
Christmas Eve ended up being crazy busy .. Out to Abbotsford in the Am.. then back home to finish off baskets with the kids for all my aunts & uncles ,then over to our friends up the block for a campfire christmas caroling ( it was lots of fun the the kids really enjoyed it! Then back here for yet more friends comming over ( amazing what happens when Jamie & I both make plans without the other knowing first- Akk! ) oh well it was nice :)
Kids didn't get to bed till after 10.. & I was up till ..well late! Gonna have to blame that on Suzanne! We ended up on the phone yaking about kids not going to bed-- & everything else...my sides are still sore from laughing! ;)

Got up the next Am & thankfully the kids slept in till after 8.. nice for Mommy!
My parents came over with my Gramma & then you'll never guess what happened... give up?? well, the power went out!
The joy of wind & trees eh?! Yep we had a 'Candle lit" pressie opening.. My house is fairly light so it was fine.. I'd already made breaky & coffee & stuff so it was actually more 'pretty" than a worry.
Later it was off to my aunts for dinner then home to drop the kids to their Dad's over night .. yep quite the time!!


The past couple nights we've been playing with one of Jessica's gifts... some thing called Xbox Kareeoke Revolution...
OH MY... what a BLAST ! the kids are having a great time with it & well so am I~! ( Mommy give back the Microphone.;)
You get to make a charater to sing as which has been the funniest part.. you get to choose a face, body type & outfit.. the whole pacakge..
well ..Jessica made herself an outfit that would make your hair curl! GOOD GRIEF! --- a tiny..& I mean tiny little Anarchy T-shirt the smallest short shorts I have EVER seen & Combat boots!! OH NO!! I fear my world in yrs to come!!
Jamie- I dressed in tight leather pants & a red shirt unbuttoned to his navel...he looks GOOOD!
& Steven looked like the ultimate rock boy complete with leather jacket & chafeurs cap!Oh..BOY!

Oh yeah -we have been having just a little too much fun with that part of it! ... but the singing part has been a rush too... the kids have really enjoyed it... & well Mommy has discovered that she really is a child of the 80's! Oh Man .. you should see how well I sing Blondie's" Call Me" after a few glasses of wine! I even broke a new record with that one!! ! WOOO HOOO!

Some how I think the kids weren't that sad that I had to go to work tonight...at least they got to play with whatever THEY wanted ~LOL

Hope you all are well... I'll go reading tommorow!
