Christmas 2008

Tomorrow marks my first day back to work after Gary, Lucas and I enjoyed a two week vacation. It was soooo nice!!! We had a really nice Christmas. Lucas is always a ton of fun and seems to become funnier each year.

Our New Years was nice too. We stayed in for the first time in a few years and it was perfect. I'm not naturally a homebody ... I like DOING things and being around people. I was pretty annoyed at first that we had no plans, but turns out it was exactly what I wanted to do - nothing!

We also got the baby's room together. We had a lot of cleaning out to do in the room, and I'm soooo glad it's done. I was fortunate enough to receive a very nice crib bedding set from a lady at church, so I don't have to worry about getting any of that stuff. I also put Lucas' old crib up and surprisingly had all the parts and pieces to it. As unorganized as I am, that was a true shocker! Not to mention, I've moved 3 times since using it. Unfortunately, since Lucas will be 6 years old by the time the baby is here and I wasn't exactly expecting to have any more children any time soon after having him ... I kept NONE OF my stuff. So, having those couple things taken care of already is GREAT!

Here are a few pics of our last couple weeks.

Our vaca began w/ a night at the Columbus Zoo to see the lights. We went w/ the old farts, who were hilarious the whole time.








Christmas morning I took very few pics since all I do anymore is take video. Whoops!




Lucas LOVED his guitar and made up the funniest songs. Maybe if I get around to it I'll upload one. Otherwise, got to my facebook page and check him out. I guarantee you'll laugh at the short video I posted of him ;)








A few days before Christmas we had my family's Christmas at my parents house. Only about once a year do we all get together. All the grandchildren were present, so we had to take a photo. Hard to believe next year there will be TEN grandchildren. I wish we could've had several of these nights together. Never enough time together.








































This is just a silly mistake my dad made on one of my brothers' cards and I thought it was hilarious.







Dad was opening up a present from someone and kept saying "Oh, this is nice, oh this is nice". I happened to be sitting right next to him as he opened it and as he kept saying how nice the present was, I couldn't figure out what it was. I started thinking ... he cant' know what this is, it's still all covered up. So, I grabbed it from his hands and I said "Okay Dad, if this is "so nice" tell me ... what is it?". He started laughing, he had no idea!! Anyhow, maybe you had to be there, but I thought it was hilarious and everyone was cracking up. My dad is so funny!
