Hard to beleive that Christmas has come and gone once again... It amazes me that we spend so much time getting ready for this holiday and within 20 minutes after unwrapping the presents it is done... Another Christmas over with...

Robbie had a nice time... got an assortment of Star Wars stuff... a couple of movies... and a couple of shirts from Grandma and Grandpa...

Troy received a few odds and ends from his mom and stepdad... I got him the Matrix movies... ended up watching all of them Christmas night... it was pretty cool...

I was extremely happy with what I got... Troy got me "The Broker" by John Grisham and "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" which was a neat movie... My inlaws also sent me a new purse and a bracelet and necklace...

My sis in law also did something really neat too... She made Robbie a stocking with his name on it... It was a really awesome present... This is one that he will have with him forever... She wrote a note along with it and while I was reading it... I noticed that Troy kinda teared up a little... I have to admit so did I...

So all in all Christmas was nice...

We had Christmas dinner which included ham, mashed potato and of course Troy's dressing... which is yummy...

So now the count down begins until 2006.... 2006 is going to bring alot to the table... Many things are going to happen... My little sister will be 18, My mom in law will be 60, Troy will be 30, little sis will graduate from high school, she heads off to the military, my 10 year reunion, Robbie starts kindergarten... My father will no longer have any "kids" he will have adult children...

2006 will be one busy year....

and on that note... I should get some work done today...

So Christmas is on its way again....

This will be our 3rd Christmas in Colorado... We won't be doing much just hanging out at the house...

Trying to decide what to get Troy and Robbie for Christmas this year... I know for Robbie I want to get him one of those Leap Frog thingys and a few other things... For Troy I have no clue... I mean I know that he wants soooo many things but I don't know what to really get him...

For me, I personally don't want anything... There is not one thing that I really want or need... I go through this same arguement over and over with Troy every year... He always ask me "so dear what do you really want for Christmas" my same response is "all I want is to be with my family"... Christmas to me is to be with the ones you love... Sure presents are fine and dandy but why does it have to be once a year thing... I just want to be with the ones I love and care about....

anyways... it snowed here the other night... but it is pretty much gone... I love Colorado weather!!!

well gotta run...

later days
