Alas...

I haven't posted in awhile...I'm sure no one has noticed.  Allow me to explain why.  I am crazy.  That is all.

Kidding.  Well, partially.  I have too much free time right now.  ASU doesn't officially start until January 17th, and while public school started on the 2nd, I'm still free at night.  It would be too easy to post at that time.  I like to wait and upload pictures and tell you about the happenings in our family when I should be doing something constructive like writing a ten page research paper.  So you see, when I have less time to be blogging, that's when I'll start.  But for now...

Christmas is my favorite time of the year.  I think this has been the best Christmas ever.  We went to Lampasas on the weekend of the 18th and did three Christmases in three days.  It was crazy.  Then we came back and the kids and  I had two more days of school.  THEN...We stayed HOME!!! It was so wonderful!  on Christmas morning we woke up and piddled and saw what Santa brought.  Then we got Rachel and opened presents and lounged around.  Late that afternoon my mother and father in law came to our house and the kids showed off their loot.  Finally we headed to my parents, opened presents, and ate tamales and beans and lots of yummy stuff.  Afterward, we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus and had cake. 

I got everything I wanted for Christmas: a Keurig Coffee Pot (two weeks before Christmas!!), three happy kids, one potty trained two year old, and gave my hubby EXACTLY what he wanted- a pistol and a new rifle.  He's lucky to have me.
