Snowman Time

So we finally got a decent amount of snow on friday so laura and I took andrew out to attempt to make a snowman since that is all he has wanted to do for a while. It was a fun time, Laura and I did most of the work while andrew was removing the snow from the trees with a stick.

After we built the larger snowman we played in the snow for a while, but andrew decided that we should build another snowman so we went back to the front yard and started to make another snowman, but it ended up as just a baby

Whirlwind

Well lets just say that holidays have been a whirlwind so far. Lots of stuff with my family and such. My sister and I are watching my nephew during the week since he doesn't have school. So he is keeping us both busy busy...so the craziness is still going on.

Anyway here are some pictures of our skating adventure this afternoon

Just thought I would post to wish everyone a very merry xmas!!

Xmas to me is one of the happiest times of year... I remember as a child I would listen to xmas carols for weeks before xmas and then on xmas eve after we had gone to my Grandparents and Church I would come home and lay in my bed to wait and see if I could hear santa coming in the house.....if I feel asleep I would wake up and wonder if I had missed the big guys visit.....so I would get up and sneak out of my room to check on the xmas tree....and I was always so excited when I went to the living room and saw all the piles for each of us that santa had left. I would go back to my room and wait until it was late enough to go get my parents...let me tell you some of the hardest hours of my life. Sometimes I would even wake my sister up to let her know that santa had come.

Well that is just a little memory of mine that I thought I would share with you. I want to wish everyone of you that reads this blog a merry xmas. Also I got a little lazy this year and didn't really send out xmas cards....so if I didn't send you one... I am sorry but I still love you.


So Have A Merry XMAS everyone!!

Xmas sweater

My sister is going to a xmas party this weekend (a guy I used to work with is having it), and it is one where you are supposed to wear a crazt sweater and well she asked a co-worker if she had any and this coworker got all excited and told laura about how she had a ton of them at home and well this is what she brought in. Best part of it was her co-worker was proud of all her sweaters...she didn't realize that the purpose of the party was to make fun of the sweaters.

Hopefully laura has fun and is still in one piece when she flies home on sunday

hmmm

not much is new with me. I am liking life not working. I have started going to the gym here in Hibbing again and I convinced my mom to join and come with me some of the time.

Well there area bunch more classes offered there now so I convinced my mom to go with me. Soo we went to a class tonight and it totally was not what I expected. The class schedule called it a CRT class (cardio resistance training) Iread the description and thought it would be fun...resistance training and cardio.....well well well little did i know that it was pretty much a step aerobics class...and those of you who know me well know that I am not a big fan of aerobics.... basically I am not coordinated and think I look funny doing it. But I survived it and I think my mom got a good workout so I will prob go again but we will see

we had xmas at my grandparents this weekend and it was crazy as always...this year was different than in the past and there were tons of girlfriends/boyfriends there so it was like I didn't know half the people at a family gathering.

Hopefully I finish my xmas shopping soon. I hate trying to find gifts for my dad. he is of no help and always says the same thing.... "Socks and Underwear" well today I looked in his draw and he does not need either he still has packages of ones we have gotten him in the past that haven't been opened. so now I am trying to come up with ideas anyone got any for me?
