Yule & Christmas

WOW! What a wonderfully blessed holiday season this has been for us! Pictures will be up soon. Didn't get a whole bunch taken though because the batteries in my digital camera decided to die on me right when everyone was opening presents at the big family Christmas Eve party.

Parker, our kids, and I all opened our presents to one another on Yule (Dec. 21). We also did our yearly Yule tide blessings and wishes. On December 23 the whole Wolfrose clan got together at Gimini's house and exchanged gifts. The kids had a blast and of course Gimini cooked so we all stuffed ourselves with truly awesome food. The next party was the big one at my grandmothers house on Christmas Eve where all the kids made out like bandits. Christmas morning we each spent individually. Gimini had to work that morning but enjoyed the rest of the day with her children. Jadynn spent the whole day with her kids, her mother, and her grandparents. My family spent the day at my grandmothers having turkey and roast.

We had a really good holiday and we hope that you are as blessed as we are surrounded by family with lots and lots of love to go around.

Thanksgiving

We hope everyone had as great a Thanksgiving as we did! We all spent the morning and early afternoon with our other families and then came together for our traditional Thanksgiving evening feast.

The kids all had a blast. They jumped on the trampoline because it was a nice day. Booter was playing with Gimini's guy and laughed so hard he cried which made everyone else laugh. Of course the food was awesome because Gimini cooked. *grin* Turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole, rolls, deviled eggs, fruit salad, and the deserts! Oh my! Cherry pie, apple pie, pumpkin pie, chocolate pie, Gimini's famous strawberry banana pie, and Parker made a blueberry cake. It was all fantabulous! The most important thing though was that we were together.

We also acquired new family members. Jadynn had brought over her new puppy (Odie) that she got as an early xmas prezie from another friend of hers. She is half Chihuahua, half Pomeranian and cute as a button. The guy she got her from was only charging $20 for the puppies so Gimini bought one for Christi as a thank you for everything she does for her. C named her Brownie and she has the cutest little teddy bear face. I couldn't resist either. Got one which will have the longest hair and named her Lady McBooBerry. Then after explaining that he had to charge for them because some people get the little ones to feed to snakes if they are for free, he mentioned that he had a nine month old Chi to give away for free also. So I got Miss Foxy Roxy too.

Halloween

The kids had a great Halloween! PIX
There was a hillbilly, a she devil, a kitty maid, a dead beauty queen, a thrashed out punk rocker, rainbow brite, two power rangers, and a gothic queen who took all the pictures while the witch stayed home to pass out candy to non existent trick or treaters. *grin*

have to share...

Parker and I were talking earlier and I was telling him how I envision our retirement years together which basically involves a large piece of land somewhere in northern Az. and a whole lot of peace and quiet. Not totally off the grid but close. When I finished with my vision, I asked Parker what he envisions. He said that what I said sounded pretty good to him. So I said, "don't you have any dreams?" He told me that I've fulfilled every dream he's ever had and as long as the future includes me he will be happy.

Damn I love that man!

Excuses Excuses

Well, now it's just that I've been being lazy! LOL Gimini's computer is back up, kinda. It's so friggin slow though that it may as well be down still. Jadynn is back up too but prolly just stuck on bingo.com... which I must admit can be really addictive... I get lost there once in a while myself. *grin* Gimini doesn't, computer is too friggin slow. I need to work on getting her on the broadband...

In other news, I now have the ability to post pictures up to the site using hello and blogger, heck I think I could even do it from my cell phone as well. Once in a while I'm going to post a picture to this blog. I'm still going to put albums up as well, picasa will be a great help with that little venture too. Now all I have to do is get off my lazy but and actually do it. *grin*

That's all for now, ta ta peeps!

Excuses

My excuse for not updating or uploading anything new to this site for a while is that I've been interrupted by life. Summer is always like that, busy busy. We do have pictures to go up but I was sick on Braden's birthday so the pix are all of the printed and not digital kind so I have to wait till we scan them in to post any of his birthday pix.

We do of course also have some of Gimini's birthday and Independence Day. Then there are the pix we have taken just because we could take em. So hopefully I'll get around to finding the time to actually upload them.

In other news, both Gimini and Jadynn's computers are down at the moment and my laptop nearly was... don't ask, it involves Gimini and a glass of tea... luckily there is such a thing as a USB keyboard.... ;-)

Resurection

I just set up blogger to publish to this page. Some things will work odd like the link for making a comment will pull a page from blogger.com into this iframe since blogger doesn't seem to have a way for me to add in target="_new" to their variable. Oh well...

I've left some of my old entries and deleted a few that were just some silly quizzes. I used to use this before I decided to get on LiveJournal and since I have the account anyway, I decided it would be an easy way for me to add content to the Village front page. *grin* I'll use this to tell about updates to the site and sometimes to tell a cute kid story. Stay tuned!
