Post Holiday Wrap Up

I know I'm extremely late getting my Christmas post done this year but between my busy schedule, kids being out of school, and mandatory overtime at work, I haven't had a lot of time for things like this lately. We did have a wonderful Christmas though. I will forever remember this Christmas as the year of 49ers football. Cody and Elijah both got jerseys from Santa, Brandon got a Kaepernick shirt, Mike got a 49ers t-shirt, sweats, and lanyard, Dallas got a drawstring bag and lanyard, and I got a sweatshirt. One of these days soon we will get a group picture of our 9'er pride. We got a lot of fun presents from our families-thanks to everyone who made our Christmas so special. We even had a surprise knock on our door Christmas eve. When we opened the door there was a gift on the doorstep and also a gift card to a restaruant from a "Secret Santa". That was super fun for us. The boys are still having fun guessing who it was. Mike played at the 7 Cedars Casino again for New Years so we were apart but we did attend our own little celebration at my friend Angela's home. Their family invited us over for pizza and activities which was so fun. Every hour the kids took turns popping balloons and inside would be the details of a fun activity. Some of the things we did were play twister, make glow in the dark necklaces, glow stick wars, bubble blowing etc.. until the big moment-midnight. There were confetti poppers, hats, noise makers and pretty much enough ammo to give a huge headache;) My sister and her husband Nick also joined us there for the festivities so that was fun. 2014 has already begun. Mike is driving to Gig Harbor everyday for school and enjoying the scenery along the way. The boys have enjoyed being back at school although they have already suffered from getting colds already. Dallas and Cody have started their basketball seasons and enjoy playing. Dallas is also playing church ball so we get to see two games on Saturdays for him. I'll try to be more consistent with my blogging this year-(that is my New Years Resolution; we'll see how I do)
