Holiday Catchup

Can't wait to see what Santa brought
Lego Star Wars Destroyer...yes!!!
Lego Castle and more knights...yeah!
Finally...the whip I've been wanting since I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark

Bakugans too!

The holidays are over and it's back to the real world. I try to take the 2 weeks off during the holidays each year since Helen and the kids are off from school. It's always a great time for us.

It's hectic with family get togethers, parties, and other things, but we also managed to chill quite a bit and de-stress. For the first week we were all trying to overcome the cold\sinus infection\general crud sickness that has been plaguing us. We got out some and did a little shopping to get the holiday feel. Helen always likes to bake and did quite a bit of that. We also watched a lot of movies, had board game nights, and Wii nights, and ate out a bunch. The weather was pretty rainy, but that was OK with us. There were many days where we all hung out in our pajamas for most of the day and just piddled around. It was nice not having to rush around to various activities.

We tackled a number of projects. Helen got rid of a bunch of clothes and cleaned out her closet. I got my car (94 Legend) painted so it's good to go another 5 or 10 years. There were several other small projects as well, but there were still many things we didn't get to...like sending out holiday cards (sorry).

We hope everyone had a nice holiday and that you all have a great 2009.
