Christmas

I love this time of the year, sadly I wasn't feeling like i loved this time of yeah this year. I never thought I'd find the words bah humbug coming out of my mouth, but this year I did not want Christmas, I felt so stressed with peoples ideas of how much money should be spend on gifts. I wanted to take down the Christmas decorations and just throw it all in the bag and say forget it.
After my Grandpa called asking about Christmas cards and if I sent mine out, I started to feel bad for being so stressed and for wanting to call it quits on Christmas.
With that I started to make the cards, and finished them off, after doing them it kind of jump started my Christmas spirit and I made goodies, and wrapped presents. Now I am just about ready for the big day.
After Christmas I am going to see the family for a few days, and I cannot wait to see the kids open the gifts that we bought them. Seeing the faces of those I have gifts for is what makes this time of year for me.



Back in Nov we went to San Fran with some of Jakes family, to catch the Bears game in Oakland. I had never been to San Fran or Oakland. I will be honest I liked the pier and the shops along the way were fun to look at. The games was the first NFL game I have been to. We had great seats and the only thing that would have made it better is if the Bears would have won.


This was at Ghiradelli Shop, a 5lb chocolate bar. Anyone who knows me knows that this is heaven for me :)



This is us at the game (after the game) Our seats where right there though, 3rd row nice nice :)

Long time

So yeah, it is has been awhile, we have been busy :) We had the funeral for my uncle. It was done wonderfully, a sad reason to get the family all together but it was nice to see them. Some past problems mended and it brought the whole family together for the first time in a very long time. Dave would have been proud and happy that some good came of it.
I went to Utah after to spend some family time, that was much needed. I got to see the twins for the first time. I love just love all those kids. I wish Stephy could just make me some :)


I loved seeing the kids, and I miss them tons.

After that I started planning a party for Halloween. I planned a Murder party in which we all got to act a part in. Everyone dressed even better than I thought, and I made some great spooky food. Mummies, eyeballs, spooky jello, and pumpkin casserole. It was great.
