Christmas countdown..3..2..1..
I can not believe in a couple more days it will be Christmas! AHh!! I don't know where the time has gone. Today I finished making cookies and then we dropped them off to a few different friends houses. I swear this year more people have Christmas lights up on their houses, I don't know if it's because everyone is depressed because of the bad economy so they're trying to cheer themselves up or what. Anyhow, that is my theory. So next year I am not booking any appointments starting Thanksgiving and going through the New Year, I am way to busy with my holiday cheer and family stuff.

Can you believe the nasty weather we've had lately? It was icky icky icky out the other day. Kaylee and Nathan were at my parents house spending Saturday night, it was so bad they ended up spending Sunday night as well. That actually worked out in my favor, I finished Kaylee's room except for some trim above the closet door and some touch up painting. Jimmy and my dad did a great job on it, lots of hard work and it really doesn't look like a room that would be in a basement. Anyhow, check out some pictures of her room and just a few random ones:

Let the baking begin!
This week I am doing some Christmas baking!! I plan on having the kids pass out goodies to our nearby friends this next Saturday. I think we'll drive around town and tour some Christmas lights, listen to Christmas music on the radio and pass out goodies. Sounds like fun! So this next week I plan on making some home made cinnamon bread, sugar cookies, oatmeal cookies, andes mints cookies, holiday chip cookies, caramel corn, and chex mix. Mm.. doesn't that sound yummy? I ran to the store on Saturday and picked up everything I should need to bake with. I'm not going to the store again until after Christmas, it was nuts! Crazy people everywhere. Jimmy hasn't been feeling hot the last few days, poor honey. I think we'll all take a nap when Emily does today, it's always nice to get a few extra winks of sleep when you're under the weather.
Speaking of weather it's 44 out and rainy!! Crazy to think a few days ago it was snowing and now it's all gone! Michigan weather...
Emily was sitting on the chair the other day looking like such a big girl, I just had to snap a couple of pictures of her:
I love her little lips:
Just relaxing with her snacks:

Great Wolf Lodge 2008
We just got back from our trip up north. Aside from a small patch of nasty weather everything was wonderful! I'm telling you the time to go to Great Wolf Lodge is the early part of December, hardly any people. I don't think I had to wait in a line once, and the Magi quest game didn't have tons of kids running about. I'm glad my mom and dad made it up a night. We all didn't get much sleep that first night with the.. ahem.. men snoring and then the kids couldn't seem to settle down with Emily having the most trouble. The 2nd night was much better. Emily and I went to bed at 9 pm, Jimmy and the kids went to bed a little after 10 pm and we all slept straight through until 9 am the next morning...ahhh.. now thats a vacation!
So many pine trees just covered in snow on the way up:

Ahh...lazy river:

More pictures on my facebook and i'll post more in the family album one of these days here.
Thanks to Jimmy I got to eat at a few of my favorite places:
Ruby Tuesday which has a great salad bar.
Olive Garden which has my favorite salad dressing
and
Cracker Barrel which has some yummy hash brown casserole.

Seriously people seriously!!
Ok people really fall for this junk? I can't believe it. I've gotten the emails before about so and so is holding millions for me in an account and I just have to pay some legal fee and I'll be rich. Which I realize is bs. Now today I get an email from... gasp... the FBI. Wow, contacting me by email to let me know how to get my millions how nice of them. I just seriously had to post the letter I got because I'm still laughing about it. Please notice that the FBI can't spell and has terrible grammar, ha. I will be putting my own comments into the email as well because I can't help myself:

Which is all amazing to me because I have never gotten any mail from the above listed people nor have I had any transactio with them.
During our Investigation, we noticed that the reason why you have not received your payment is because you have not fulfilled your Financial Obligation given to you in respect of your Contract/Inheritance Payment.
Therefore, we have contacted the Federal Ministry Of Finance on your behalf (how nice of them) and they have brought a solution to your problem by coordinating your payment in total USD$11,000.000.00 in an ATM CARD which you can use to withdraw money from any ATM CENTER anywhere in the world with a maximum of $4000 to $5000 United States Dollars daily.
You now have the lawful right to claim your fund in an ATM CARD.
Since the Federal Bureau of Investigation is involved in this transaction, you have to be rest assured for this is 100% risk free (wow, because they say they are the FBI surely they must be) it is our duty to protect the American Citizens (sure buddy). All I want you to do is to contact the ATM CARD CENTER via his email or phone for their requirements to proceed and procure your Approval Slip on your behalf which will cost you $250.00 only (an approval slip for the low low price of 250 bucks) and note that your Approval Slip which contains details of the agent who will process your transaction.

Eating my oats!
I'm sitting here watching the snow fall eating a bowl of oatmeal trying to remember my giant list of things to do today. I'm sure I'll forget something. Now if it was night time and I was trying to get to sleep I'd remember everything I needed to do, shoot I'd probably remember things I forgot to do when I was ten.
Jimmy took the kids to see Bolt on Saturday. I guess they really liked it. I'm glad they had some daddy bonding time, he's been busy at work lately. I took Emily over to my Grandma's house. She was so funny trying to walk through the door ways that have those little edges. She'd step her little leg nice and slow.. heehee.
Sunday we just hung around the house all day. I worked on some pictures, Jimmy worked on getting my Grandma's computer all set up for her for Christmas. We even got to sleep in a bit and Emily took a nice long nap which made her want to stay up later so it was a little tricky getting her to go to bed, she's still sleeping now.
The kids are getting super excited for Great Wolf Lodge this Sunday. I hope the weather is clear for our drive up and back. I know they'll have a nice time, I'm excited too!! I just hope Miss Em's can sleep ok.
