Christmas weekend

We started out with a not so good Christmas Eve day with someone cancelling it, but that turned around when we decided to go to church after the lights went out because of the ice. The roads really weren't so terrible as long as you take it slow. We made it to church and sat with Dad and Jane (Nathan was serving). We then got invited to eat at their house and the meal was tasty. We had a good evening. The roads were getting slick by then, but Matthew drives in this all the time with the mail route in a little dodge dynasty, unless there is a sufficient amount of snow then he takes the pickup. Christmas morning the kids were so excited to see and open their gifts. We went to Matthew's Mom and Dad's house for lunch and had a good time opening gifts. Megan got her own camera. A kid drop proof one by Fisher price of course. Michael got a IH tractor set and he was happy. He really didn't care to open much else. We watch movies, laugh and had a fun time. Saturday Matthew and the kids went sledding as you see in the pictures earlier. Sunday we went back to his Mom and Dad's for a Allison dinner. The good was great and there were treats galore. The kids got more great gifts, and us girls had a fun time taking pictures of each other with each other and trying to get the men involved was great fun and work. It really turned out being a great Christmas weekend. I hope you all had a great one too given the weather.
Some of these pictures were taken by Jane some by me and some by Megan with her camera.

This is Great!

This is definitly a learning experience. I'm learning to change my backgrounds, posting videos and all this because I now have a faster speed of doing it. US Cellular Highspeed Internet! Yea! Hopefully I can do more blogging because it will be quicker than several mininutes waiting for the page to come up and to download my pictures. Wait use to take minutes now takes seconds, but you all know that.

Tree Hunting and Sledding in the Winter Wonderland

Winter news

We are getting so excited for Christmas. The kids and I have been listening to Christmas music since Thanksgiving. We got Matthew to put the lights on the house, and boy that was fun. Ha Ha So then the next week we went to the tree farm outside of town and got our tree. It was exciting for the kids to go pick out their tree and get to see it shaken to get the needles off. It got moved a half a dozen times that night. The kids weren't happy because they wanted to decorate it, but I told them the tree had to stay in one place first. It snowed alot the next day besides the fact that we I got to work the water was turned off because of a water leak a block over. So that killed our day when you have all perms and colors. To make up for the trip to work we decided to work on each other. Amy applied Tracie's color and then we went to Tracie's house for lunch and Amy gave me a perm. That was Tuesday and school was cancelled that day and Wednesday and Thursday So Megan didn't have any school that week.
Miss Megan had a birthday and party that Saturday. She was so excited for all of her gifts she had received. Mommy made a Tinkerbell cake and it didn't turn out to bad. She tells me she is looking forward to showing all her friends all her toys. We'll see. Later that evening mom got vocal and asked if I was pregnant, and yes I am. I wasn't going to say that night, but it happens. I am due the 31st of May, so that makes me 4 months today. I had a check up today everything is good but not for Megan.She had her 4 year old shots today and well got 4 of them:( She said her legs hurt, but she held them stiff when they poked her. This afternoon I got all of my wrapping done. Now I have to keep Matthew and the kids from shaking them and tearing them open.
