Well, Christmas is over. Hard to believe. This whole entire year has gone by so fast I can't quite wrap my head around it.
Christmas was a success. The kids all seemed very pleased. Dylan got a dart board for his room, a bunch of new games, an IPOD, etc. Maddie got two American Girl dolls. They aren't "actually" American Girl dolls because those cost a FORTUNE, but they're knock offs and she doesn't know the difference and she loves them. She got a bunch of other cool stuff, but the dolls are definitely her favorite. Oh yea, and the Spongebob Snuggie.
Dylan has been holed up in his room for hours playing his video games. He comes down for food only. I told Joel if he keeps this up then one day he'll come down and we won't recognize him - he'll be 6 inches taller with a beard.
I was pleasantly suprised for Christmas. Joel and I don't normally buy things for each other. I did buy him new slippers and a new set of sweats, but he definitely needed those things. He bought me a laptop. I didn't even know what to say. It's all mine, not the family's. Nobody is allowed to touch it but me. I get to work on it. I get to play on it. I get to hug it. Okay, only sometimes do I hug it. Today is the first day I get to work on it. It took me a few hours and a little frustration, but I finally got it set up for the wireless and I got my work program installed. The work program was tricky because my laptop has Windows 7 and the program isn't compatible with Windows 7 yet. I had to do some research, but there are little tricks and loopholes you can utilize to help make it work. Today is my first day working on my laptop. I can't wait. I can work in bed. I can work on the couch with my feet up. I can work outside (not today, it's raining). I can work when we go on vacation! Not that I will, but you never know, right? I'm most excited for summertime when the sun is shining and I'm usually stuck inside at my desk. Not anymore!!!! Another nice thing is that when my dad has his surgery, I can come over to his house and work and keep an eye on him. My husband rocks. You should be jealous.
Anyway, Christmas was great, but now we're glad it's over. By we I mean me, of course. The kids wish Christmas was everyday, which would get boring, but they don't understand that.
Now we look forward to New Years and everything that 2011 brings us.

I laughed so hard when you mentioned Dylan. That was funny!!! However, you did misspell a word... surprise is not suprise! I cannot believe ms. spellcheck did that! xoxo
I actually knew that. My laptop doesn't have spell check on it and I didn't feel like going back and check each and every word. I thought I'd try to make someone's day.
