Christmas!

Christmas was great, but way too busy. :)

We had some friends over Saturday for a light lunch. Just as we were finishing, we saw a Sheriff's car pull into our cul-de-sac. To make a long story short, our neighbor hit a gas line w/ a rented ditch witch and caught the thing on fire. We had to evacuate for about 30 minutes. DH and I were interviewed by the local news and made the headlines. HA!

Sunday, I baked...with a bad back. Backing up a little, I went to the dr on Wednesday because my back was really hurting. After a week of muscle relaxers, I still have no relief...going back again in the morning.

Monday, we went to my parents for the day. The kids got a boatload of stuff. They had a blast!!

Santa came Tuesday morning. The kids were beyond excited. The girls were really into opening presents! After it was all over, Josh said this was the best Christmas ever. He got a Nintendo DS - it's the only thing he asked for. :) He got a few other things - baseball lamp (he needed a new lamp for his room), skate shoes (not Heeleys), watch, and a few other small things. The girls got some baby doll stuff and blocks.

We went to DH's parents Tuesday afternoon. Again, the kids had a blast - got lots of stuff from grandparents and Aunts and Uncles.

Today, we went to Dollywood...I think we're all worn out!

Tomorrow, we're taking the kids to daycare and running errands all day.

I hope Friday is a nice quiet day...we're taking the kids to daycare and then coming home and crashing! I'm looking forward to a day to myself (even if DH is at home). :)

Pictures should be up soon. I've posted them- just waiting for everything to synch up so they actually are viewable. HA
