Day 153 :: December 31, 2010

New Years Eve. Our first New Years Eve as a married couple. Today was a good day. We slept in today and just enjoyed sleeping in. Then we started getting ready for the day. We had family coming over later. We started some of the food, then ran to the store. Then got home and hung around playing some Xbox then we finished making the food and waited for the guests to arrive. We had my mom and dad, brother and his girlfriend. His mom and step-dad came over, and his step-brother as well. My grandpa came over as well. Shortly after his mom, step-dad and brother left, my brother and his girlfriend left. Then my cousin stopped in. We played a ton of games throughout the night, Uno, Phase 10, Cranium, ImaginIff, and then Uno again. Watched the ball drop ate good food and hung out with good company. My picture today will be of me and my hubby as the ball dropped. Our first kiss of the new year. But I will add pictures when I wake up :)

Day 152 :: December 30, 2010

Thursday-I slept in a little bit then, I waited for my mom to come over. We decided we wanted to make chocolate covered pretzels. Before we started I made us some lunch. Then we made the pretzels, then we ran to the store. She needed to stop at Giant Eagle and I needed to exchange my scrapbook inserts for ones that actually fit my pages. So when I got home I finally finished putting together our wedding scrapbook. I have a few pages to actually finish but I need to order the pictures first. Then my hubby came home and we decided we would use one of our Applebees gift cards and go to dinner. Before dinner we ran to the mall and got a few Xbox games. Then we went to dinner and enjoyed a nice dinner together and came home to cuddle and watch some t.v.
My picture today is of some of the pretzels we made.

Day 151 :: December 29, 2010

Wednesday-today was a pretty boring day for the most part. I woke up a little earlier than yesterday. Did some lounging again, I am loving this week. Played my DS and waited for the hubby to come home. We ran to the store to get some inserts for my scrapbook but turns out they dont fit right. We also went out to his moms for dinner with her and his step dad and two step brothers. It was an enjoyable evening now we are home watching Bones. I have been kind of slacking but my blogs are caught up for the most part, just need to go through and add pictures.

Day 150 :: December 28, 2010

Tuesday....Well I didn't work today, and doesn't look like I will the rest of the week until Sunday. Which I kind of like. So I slept in, which felt good. Then I got up and made some lunch turned on some t.v. and lounged around. I did get some cleaning done, such as dusting and cleaning and putting away our new pots and pans. Played some more DS and tried playing some Xbox but the game froze so we are going to go buy it since we found the exact game for like $5 hopefully it still their later. We also went grocery shopping and stopped at taco bell for dinner and used one of our gift cards. Browsed around the gamestop by walmart and picked up some discount Christmas stuff for next year, and got the HDMI cords we needed for the blue ray and the Xbox. Then we played another game of Uno and played Phase 10. I won both of those games :)

My pic today is of the box our pots and pans where in and the knife set, that his dad gave us. And I am posting a second pic, it is of the cutting board his Uncle MADE for us, it is so cool.

Day 149 :: December 27, 2010

Today is Monday, and I worked in the afternoon I guess you'd say. I worked from 11am until 3:!5pm. It was fun, the older kiddos showed me all their new toys they had. And I played with all the new toys the twins got, haha. They slept for most the time I was their, well they did at least after I fed them their lunch and got the older two their lunch. Then me and LuLu played a couple board games, her favorite Candy Land and Sorry after that she wanted to work on her Mosaic art thing and so I told her I was watch her. Older P was bored and wanting her mom and dad to come home. She also wanted to play in the snow, which she knew she wasn't allowed to until they got home, then she decided she wanted to go in the hot tub they just got and had it all figured out but I told her NO, which she didn't like. After work I came home to play a little DS and watch some t.v. and wait for the hubby to come home. When he came home we made some dinner and played a game of his Family Guy Uno he got for Christmas from my mom. He beat me :(

My picture today is of the Mosaic picture LuLu gave me, she finished her first picture from her new kit she got at Christmas and she gave it to me and told me to share with Alex.

Day 148 :: December 26, 2010

The day after Christmas. We spent today with his day outta town. We exchange gifts. He liked everything we got him, and he surprised us with a new pot and pan set, now we finally have a matching set, and a knife set with a block so we now should have nice sharp knives. We also ended up with a ton more candy, and the normally canned foods he gives everyone every year. We also ended up with a Xbox, and some games not all work though, and a jacket. There use to be a girl who lived with his dad who took off and stole a few things and never came back for her stuff so we raided it and thats how we ended up with the Xbox, and the jacket, and the games. Well my picture today is of the mini snowglobe we got from my mom I took a picture with my new camera after shaking up the snow inside.

Day 147 :: December 25, 2010

Well it's...CHRISTMAS!!!! Today is our first Christmas as a married couple. It was pretty nice though it was just like any other Christmas, and especially like last year since we lived together last year as well. Anyways we opened presents at our house, then went to my parents and opened presents and played cards, then home to get ready to leave out of town for his family. Visited his mom's house and hung with his brother's. Then out of town we headed, to visit with his dad's family. We won't exchange gifts with his dad until tomorrow when all the visiting for today has died off. Overall was a good day. Alex got me a new camera, oh how I love him. He also got me some new razors which I needed, Step Up 3D, a new Wii game, a carrying case for my camera ( and we can throw his in their as well), socks cause my feet are always cold, a new ds game, and sme junk food. I got Alex a blue-ray player, three blue ray movies, and a wii game as well, and a transformers ornament, new gloves for when we play in the snow, and some candy. We got a lot of good things yesterday, from shirts and movies, to jewelry and candles, and clothes and wine, and books. At my moms we got a winter sign for our front door that says "The Grunders", a just married ornament, couple card games, more books, bones season 1 and 2, and more candy's. At his mom's we got slippers, pj pants, ear muffs, an ornament, we finally received our wedding bouquet that alex's step brothers aunt was making for us from the picture we took of the real thing she made for the wedidng. We also got a freezer for the basement. There probably things I am missing but over all a good day with a lot of good things in the end :)

Day 146 :: December 24, 2010

Christmas Eve! Well today is Christmas Eve day started off sleeping in, then getting dressed and ready to head out for the day. First stop was to Alex's Grandma's house to visit her for awhile and give her the gift we got her. Then we left their and headed to my Uncles house. We hung out their for awhile and opened gifts then we got home, filled each others stockings then headed to bed. Over all a good day spent with family.

My picture is of us before leaving for the day.

Day 145 :: December 23, 2010

Thursday, 2 days until Christmas. I can't believe it is almost Christmas and the year is almost over. I worked in the morning. All four kids where there today. Then I gave them their Christmas presents I got them, and they loved them! I got pictures of the twins, and I will work on getting pics of the older girls soon lol. Well my picture for today is of our finished Christmas cookies. Well a picture of the two stocking cookies I decorated. But other then work and cookies. The day was slightly eventful. I tried stopping at the store but it was crowded so I left. Then The hubby came home early and we ran and got my check, my boss gave me a gift card for Christmas, that was pretty awesome. Then we ran to the bank, then we had to go back out to the store cause we didn't have what we needed for the icing.

Day 144 :: December 22, 2010

Wednesday: Today I worked until technically 3pm. But I was suppose to work until 10:15 then come back but she suggested I just stay their and hang out til she had to leave again. So I did and I hung out but felt weird cause she kept telling me to go watch t.v. or eat some lunch or read. But I was still "on the clock" so I felt like I had to watch the kiddos. Plus the twins are so fun to watch. They get into the crazies things and do the funniest things. After work I ran and got my eye brows done then headed home to wait for Alex, he was bringing dinner home. After dinner we curled up and watched some Christmas shows/movies on t.v. til I was to tired to stay awake any longer and headed to bed. Oh yea we also started our cut out cookies. We got them cut out and baked. Tomorrow we will ice them and then we will be finished with all our cookies. So my picture today is of the cut out cookies before being iced.

Day 143 :: December 21, 2010

Tuesday: Today I worked in the morning until noon. It was a different day, my boss' nephew came over so I had him their as well as the twins. We all hang out and watched t.v. and played with the toys. After work I cam home and just lounged around the house. Took a few cat naps and watched t.v. I have been fighting a head cold so I was out of it and just wanted to sleep all day. After Alex got home we wrote up our Christmas cards to be sent out the next day, and my mom stopped over so we could go shopping for Alex's Christmas present. When we finished shopping I took her home, and then I wrapped all his presents right then so I couldnt have to worry about him finding them. My picture today will be of our Christmas cards but I just gotta take a picture and I keep forgetting to take it. So instead of I am using a picture of the Christmas card from the family I work for as my picture.
I blacked out their last name. But the card has avatar pictures of each member of the family it was so cute.

Day 142 :: December 20, 2010

First off wanna say Happy Birthday to my favorite twins M&M (hahaha). They are 1 year old today it's so exciting. On another note, Mr.M started his day off awesome and I had to help give him a bath in the laundry room bath/sink before their mom left this morning. Then the day went a little smoother the rest of the time. I gave them their outfits. And got all their Christmas gifts all ready for them, There mom will hate me soon for buying them so much haha. Younger P, or LuLu as I think I called her before has a birthday next month and so does my brother so their is more gifts I need to buy.

After work I went home and relaxed ate some lunch then decide to run to the store to see if they had anything to finished part of my mom's gift. And then went to the bank. Came home and waited for Alex so we could eat some dinner then I had to come back work, they were going out with family tonight. So the kids all four of them have been in bed since 8, and I am getting bored and tired and I will be here for maybe another hour. Then gotta be back here tomorrow bright and early. I feel like I am getting sick or something, nose all stuffed up and head ache geez I hate winter time.

Well my picture today if of the birthday twins :) I took one of each individually but this is the best of the two of them together....and later I tried taking one of them with me but that didn't turn out to great haha. She finally getting a tooth in and he has like 4 already and looks to be getting a few more as well.

Day 141 :: December 19, 2010

Sunday, last day of my weekend job before I get a few days off!! And it def. was an interesting one at that. Work started out okay, and like normal. Then the Housekeepers (aka HK for the sake of typing) started coming in, well back story, there normally no more then 3 at a time and their only 3 sweepers I guess. Well one of them broke and it still isn't fixed and its been like 3 weeks. Which I learned why it hasn't now but that doesnt matter. Well now every weekend when I am their they fight about who is getting the front desks sweeper. Which is a really nice one but a little bigger and doesnt fit on their cart as well. So today, the first HK to arrive is the normal one to arrive early we will call her HK-D (and only like 1 of my followers will/should pick up on who I am talking about). Well she comes in saying she is NOT taking the front desk sweeper she doesn't care, BLAH BLAH. Well then second to arrive is HK-G we will call her. HK-D tells HK-G that HK-C should take the front desk sweeper today. Well then finally HK-C arrives along with the laundry girl. They get down their and shortly after HK-G comes up and gets sweeper and tells me that HK-D took HK-C's sweeper and then HK-C said that she not taking front desks sweeper that she will just go home since she quitting at end of month so it doesnt matter anyways. So HK-G offers HK-C her sweeper and she agrees to take the other one. Well in the end they all agrue about who gets it. And I feel like I am in a preschool classroom and they are 3 kids fighting over toys and nobody wants the defective one LOL.

Anyways after work I went Christmas shopping with Alex and my mom. Didn't come home with ANYTHING I went for. But did get me and the hubbs some "christmas" pj's pants and me a shirt to wear to Christmas or Christmas Eve. And FINALLY found I'll Be Home For Christmas and HAD to buy it been looking for years for it. Forgot to take pics, but well take one of the Christmas DVD when I get home and post it in later.

Day 140 :: December 18, 2010

Saturday, so today is day one of two before I get a weekend and a half off from my weekend job. I asked off for the Holidays and to give myself a break. This is the only way I can get a weekend off is if I ask for it off. So anyways today went pretty well. Work wasn't bad. After work I went home to wait for the hubby to get off. Then we watched some movies and I made some banana nut bread. I have been wanting to make it for weeks and finally had all the stuff to do it. Other than that we didn't do much. We got both our netflix movies watched so we can send them out on Monday. I enjoy days like today where it's cold outside and your inside cuddled up watching movies.

My picture today is of the banana bread I made. After a while I went to check on it and took a picture of it in the oven to show Alex how tall the bread rose while cooking.

Day 139 :: December 17, 2010

Today is Friday and it has been a really good day! I worked in the morning, but when don't I work?!? After work I went home and changed into my pj's so I could just lounge around and stay warm. I got some stuff done around the house such as dishes, and watering out Christmas tree. I got Alex's stocking stuffers wrapped, at least the ones I have now. I hope to get the rest of his gifts plus everything else bought for everyone else done by Sunday night when we get home from Christmas shopping! The rest of the evening was spent waiting for Alex to get home so we could go on our date night I had planned for him. He knew about the date night just didn't know where we were going. We started out going to the mall just to walk around and see if we found anything for ourselves, then we headed off to dinner. I had planned for us to go to a new restaurant that just opened across from work. It is called the Bistro 131. And it is so pretty inside and food was amazing, and the portions are HUGE. Alex got the Lake Erie Perch, and he got some clam cakes for starters. I thought for sure he would get the calamari but he didn't. I don't really like sea food but he does and that why I wanted to take him their. So I got the grilled chicken club and the thing was huge so I had to take food home, the fries were really good as well. After dinner we drove around Dover and looked at Christmas lights, so we have offically finished for the year but I would like to go around Phila again and take some pictures. Then we headed home and watched Reba til I went to bed for work tomorrow.

My picture today was suppose to be of the Bistro 131 sign but I forgot when we left and so it will just be the picture I took of us before we left.Though it is a half bad picture of me but oh well!

Day 138 :: December 16, 2010

Thursday, my last day of finals for the semester. I am so excited for the semester to be over with. Other then the final I really didn't do to much today. I worked until noon with the twins. There birthday is Monday!! Got home and I just relaxed on the couch and studied for my final. I was going to see if the hubby wanted to finish out our looking at lights, but decided that maybe we will do it tomorrow.We did watch our Thursday episode of Big Bang Theory and then just whatever I could find on t.v. I cleaned up the house a bit, but will finish tomorrow.

So my picture today is of the book I been reading, it has taken a while cause of school. I hope to give it back to my boss by next week though. But the kiddos slept awhile so I had a long break to read and made a good dent in it.

Day 137 :: December 15, 2010

Wednesday, First day of work for the week, and it def. made up for the two days I missed. Worked from 7am til 5pm. The twins werent 2 bad, they were fussy here and their but in the end they were laughing and making me laugh. Had some down time here and their when they took their two naps, and other then that they played and ate. Two more days of work til the weekend, which means last weekend before Christmas weekend!!! No finals today so after work got home had dinner and been watching dvr'd shows and Christmas things. As well as studying for tomorrow final which is my last one!!! My picture today is of the table center piece, which his mom brought over and I decided why not use it as the centerpiece.

Day 136 :: December 14, 2010

Tuesday, let's see what did I do today. Well I had a 2nd day off, Monday was due to snow today was just because I wasn't needed. So the hubby and I slept in again, and made some lunch. Then watched some t.v. Then I decided we should go get some of the Christmas shopping done. Which puts us as pretty much complete except for each other and his dad!! We have I think everything wrapped as well, except I have some stocking stuffers for him that arent wrapped yet. I have no clue what to get him though :( After that full day of nothing really I had my 2nd of 3 finals at 8pm who has a final that late haha, I guess a class who doesnt even start til 8:30pm. Doubt that final went very good either, but that grade really didn't matter he dropping our lowest grade. Got home and we threw in a Christmas movie and watched that til bed.

My picture for today is of the Egg Nog my hubby bought. He wants it every year and I dont like it and this is the first year he actually bought it.

Day 135 :: December 13, 2010

Monday was a very stressful day, which I prefer to not relive due to the phone call I just received so I will just ship ahead. Other then the final which was the 1st of 3 I have this week and I failed me and the hubby wrapped Christmas presents. My posts are late. So I am now back tracking and getting everything posted now.

My picture is of some presents under the tree all wrapped up.

Day 134 :: December 12, 2010

First off wanna say, HAPPY 6 MONTH ANNIVERSARY!!!!, to my amazing husband. We have been married for 6 months today and the last 6 months have been the greatest. Can't wait for the many many many more months to come. Also I have quit the countdown lately but there are 13 days until Christmas!!! Today I worked until 3 and then headed home to start making more Christmas cookies before we had to leave to get the washer an dryer. We managed to get all our cookies done for the day before we had to leave. We went and picked up the washer and dryer, the couple was really nice, and they had an amazing fridge they were offering us as well but we dont have the space for it and that sucks we really would have liked it. It stinks that it was snowing pretty hard and the roads weren't the greatest but we got everything moved. I told Alex that why I never want to have to move in the winter. My picture for today is of the new washer and dryer.

Day 133 :: December 11, 2010

Saturday, the one day I really wished I had my camera with me and kicks myself that I didnt. I worked in the morning then after work my mom picked me up and we headed out to go Christmas shopping. Which it was more I was with her while shopping. I got Alex a couple stocking stuffer and us a new blanket. After the mall we met Alex at WalMart and ate some dinner at subway, then shopped around. We got a few little things to throw into the group gifts for my little kiddos. Afterwards we decided to drive around and look at lights in the Phila area and do Dover another day. There were so many pretty houses and some of the views at certain points were amazing. We kept saying that would be a cute picture. I tried to get some with my phone but that didnt work out. Then we were in one of the last neighborhoods and As we were leaving there was this little deer. It just stood there while Alex stopped the car beside it rolled the window down and talked to it. The deer never budged. Then it decide he would run and when we looked over it just ran 2 feet backwards. So we circled around and that continued for awhile, the deer would only run like a foot away so we would circle around and the deer kept stopping and looking at us it was like the deer was playing ring around the rosie. Then it ran. I kept saying I really wish i had my camera I could have a really good picture of this deer. Anyways then we headed home to see if my pics would upload to computer they didnt so we watched some Christmas movies before I headed to bed. So my picture for today is of the Christmas tree we have here at work.

Day 132 :: December 10, 2010

Well day 132, which makes that day Friday. It was a pretty productive day for me. I got to sleep in with my hubby. Then we made some lunch and he headed off for his first day of training for job as a tax man. So I got going on everything I wanted to try to have done before he got home. I started on the laundry, I decided I wanted to get it all done before we get the new washer and dryer on Sunday that way it didn't pile up to much more. Which was a good idea we had four loads to do. Then I started copying my notes over into my notebook so I could begin studying for my nest. Since that was taking me forever, due to the fact I had three classes worth of notes to copy over I decided to take breaks every so often to do other stuff. It didn't help that I was watching my show The Talk while copying notes so I kept stopping. Anyways, I got the downstairs dusted, living room picked up, and blankets folded up and put away. I got the bed made and our bedroom looking decent. I tidied up the bathroom a bit and straightened up the spare room. The only thing I hadn't gotten done which I really was hoping to get to was the dishes we had a huge pile and I was hoping to have that done before he got home and everything would have been done. But he got home before I did, so we made some dinner then did the dishes and sat down to watch our Friday shows, and even though we didn't get the Christmas cookies made today we are going to try for Sunday after getting the washer and dryer.

My picture today will be of the old washer any dryer since it will be the last time we use them, at least last time for the washer, and since it was the most used item that day. Except I forgot to take a picture before we got it all moved. So I will post something different, another Christmas decoration.

Day 131 :: December 9, 2010

Day 131, well Thursday turned out to be a pretty good day. I worked a long day today, longer then normal. The twinsters which I will start referring to as thing 1(the boy) and thing 2(the girl), anyways they were pretty good day. They kept me entertained like normal. After work I went home to do some studying for the map quiz I thought we were having tonight. I waited to hear back from my cousin who I thought was suppose to be coming over but no surprise their when she didnt show up. Also got to finally eat my salad. Ran to the store with the hubby and we grabbed a pizza and some other things to cover us for dinner for a few days since our house pretty bare. Then I headed off to my last class ever for the semeseter. We rushed through a lot of material in my first class since we were behind and instead of him just taking out a chapter we had to star and finish a whole chapter today. Then second class found out he was cancelling again so we all got perfects on the quiz we were suppose to have, then found out that my grade is higher then I thought it was, so if I really didnt want to take the final I wouldnt have to. I know I forgot to take a picture today but I will thnk of something good. And it has to make up for yesterday since I forgot and posted something non- 25 days of Christmas.

Day 130 :: December 8, 2010

Day 130 is Wednesday. I am a few days behind on writing up my blogs and posting pictures. I dont think I even have pictures but after I write up my days maybe I will remember taking a picture or something. Today was the last day for my Monday/Wednesday class!! I was so excited. All we did was review for our final next week. Before that though I worked in the morning for a couple hours. Went home to rest and watch t.v. curled up on the couch. After my class I had half hour before I had to be back at work to watch the twinsters while their older sisters went up to Build-A-Bear with their mom and someone else. I was their for a few hours, and the hubby orders some carside to go Applebees. I felt horrible Wednesday I dont know what it was but it was just like a day thing where I felt crappy and very tired. When I got home I didn't even feel like eating my salad I got and I had the hubby heat up my aromatherapy pad and I curled up on the couch and feel asleep within an hour of being home and was out until the next morning for work. Which by then I felt better.

So I guess I didn't have a chance to take a picture, though I did take a picture of my twinsters. So that will be my picture today.

Day 129 :: December 7, 2010

Well today was a good day. I worked in the morning. Came home to my hubby home already again. We went to lunch, at Taco Bell. Then came home to wait for my class. Since I had like 6 hours before class, I decided we should do our mini gingerbread house village. So we started on that. We each decorated two mini houses then both decorated the last one. They all turned out really well. By the time that was done we cleaned up and sat down to watch some Law & Order SVU until I had to leave for class. Day two down only two to go, and only 1 class left of each subject. Today was also day 2 of not having my 2nd Tues/Thursday class. He just handed back tests and had us do our teacher evals then lets us go home. I can't wait until next week is over with. And on another note the countdown is still on til Christmas, and that actually means we are one day closer to my twinsters 1st birthday!!

My picture is of the gingerbread village we did!

Day 128 :: December 6, 2010

Monday, back to work. Only good thing its my last week of classes for the semester! Now that today is over I have 1 day down only 3 to go. Other then that nothing to interesting happened. I worked in the morning, then came home to my hubby home already as well. So we hung out until it was time for me to go to class. When I got home we cuddled up and watched our dvr'd shows and some movies, and our Monday night shows. It was a pretty slow day but a good day. It has been snowing everyday since December 1st.

So my picture is of the sausage we had and we were forming them into a smiley face in the pan haha. Also I will upload a picture of it snowing just to keep with my 25 days of Christmas theme.

Day 127 :: December 5, 2010

Last day of the weekend. Today is also my mom's birthday so.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! Also I think we finally finished all our Christmas decorating. Now all we have left is the rest of our cookies which we will do little by little between now and Christmas and to do our mini gingerbread village that we bought. We have never done a mini village we normally just get the regular gingerbread house. We got all the lights hung outside and the tree is complete even though it is HUGE. The rest of the evening was spent watching movies. We are finishing up our last movie, I would wait til it is over but I am getting tired and dont want to be late in posting. We have a ton of things tapping so we will need to take this week to get caught up. Thought good thing is this is my last week of classes before finals!!!!!

My picture today is of the front of our house completely done. Which also goes along with my 25 days til Christmas theme. Which brings up to 20 days until Christmas!!!

Day 126 :: December 4, 2010

Well it is Saturday again, which means back to the worst place ever. After work we got started putting up the rest of the outside lights, but needed to buy more. We got ready and headed to the Christmas parade then make another trip to Walmart. We got the rest of the tree lights and the rest of outside lights. When we got home we decorated the tree and tomorrow we will finish outside lights and we should be completely done. Now we are watching Twilight: Eclipse and hanging out which I love. So this is going to be a short blog. My picture is of us with our tree and the new Countdown to Christmas thing my mom got us.

Day 125 :: December 3, 2010

Friday. It was a good day. I woke up to go get my eye brows waxed. Then home to cuddle with my man some more. Before heading home I stopped by my mom's to get a few things she had for me. Then home to snuggle with my hubby we ended up falling back to sleep until 12:30 it was good to sleep so long and have a day off together. After sleeping in, we got up and got our grocery list together for our baking we have to do and headed to the store. We got everything we needed, and our tree stand, and lights for outside(hoping we have enough), and anything else little we needed. We got home and I put the window clings on I got from my mom, and called around to price Christmas trees but couldn't get ahold of anyone. So we headed out to get a tree, picked one out it looked decent, then oh wait wont fit in my car. So we had to find a truck to use. Called his mom and she said we could use theirs. So we went to get it and went back out to get our tree. We get it home and OMG is it way BIGGER then we thought it was. We have like no room left in our dining room now. And we surely dont have enough lights, so we did what we could until we get more we are at a stand still. So we decorated the little tree for ourside, and we made our first round of Christmas cookies, well we made Rice Krispie treats and Christmas M&M Cookies.

So my picture today is of us with our tree when we picked it out, so I am posting two pictures because it died before I could get a picture of the two of us outside with it.

It doesnt look at big in these pictures but in our dining room it looks HUGE!!!!! And all the dead branches are no longer there so it looks better.

Day 124 :: December 2, 2010

Today is Thursday and my last day of work watching the kids for the week. They didn't need me to watch them tomorrow. But I have to work like always over the weekend so not looking forward to that, but am looking forward to my day off tomorrow with my hubby :) So after work I came home to the hubby and we watched the price is right and then fixed some lunch. Then my hubby decided to take some pictures of me eating my lunch and playing some solitaire. After that I got a shower and we headed out and I bought my twinsters their birthday present, which is in 18days. Can't believe they almost one. I started watching them when they were almost 4months old, but still the last 8months have gone by fast. Then we went and "browsed" at SUV's cause we are in desperate need of a new vehicle. Then came home to hang out and figure out something for dinner. Then I checked my email and saw that my 2nd class tonight was cancelled, so hubby suggested I just skip my 1st class as well and get my notes from someone Tuesday, so that what I did. We ended up finishing up some work on the cabinet and fixing dinner then watching Bones since everything else was a rerun, and then watching the rest of the Santa Claus.

I want to try to do a 25 days of Christmas picture theme. Which just means I want to take a picture everyday until the 25th of something Christmas related, like anything from decorations, to presents, to wrapping paper, or anything. So today I am uploading two pictures today. I am posting my picture for the 25 days of Christmas theme, and the picture my hubby took of me eating and playing cards.

Day 123 :: December 1, 2010

I can't believe it is December already. But I am excited! only 11 more days until me and the hubby's 6 month wedding anniversary haha :) Yesterday I was talking about the fun traditions me and the hubby have and I am excited to start doing them. Which will actually start this weekend. We will be going to the Christmas parade on Saturday. Then I hope to start making our Christmas cookies, which will include the cut outs that we make every year plus a few other ones that we decide on. We will also do a gingerbread house like we have done every year we have been together. There other options like trains, or tree, or ginger bread people, or mini village so we will see which one we do this year. We will possible go to the Christmas in the park like we did last year, and a few days throughout the month we will go out driving around looking at Christmas lights. There may be more things we do but I dont remember lol. Today I worked in the morning til about 11:30am. Got home and I fixed us lunch. I went to class, then came home and we ran to get some ice cream for a snack. Now we sitting here watching t.v until our Wednesday night shows are on. Only one more day this week, then four more days next week until I am done with classes then a week of finals then completely done.

My picture today is on the snow outside since it is the first day of December and it snowed how awesome is that!!!

Day 122 :: November 30, 2010

Well today is the last day of November, and the last day before the 25 Days of Christmas on ABC Family. Which means Christmas movies and shows 24/7 which is AWESOME!! That also means the crunch time for getting people's Christmas gifts, because even though there is 25 days still, those 25 days go by VERY quick. I'm excited to be able to decorate, though still have one more day before I will start bugging everyday to get it finished. Since I believe November is Thanksgiving month. I am also excited to think of new Christmas/Holiday activities for the hubby and I to do, as well as the regular activities we have grown to make as our traditions every year.

Anyways, today is Tuesday. I worked in the morning, then went shopping with the hubby for a picture frame and to print off the pictures for it from the family pictures we got done. We going to get it put together for my mom for her birthday which is Sunday. We bought the hooks to hang the stockings, and looked into a timer for our outdoor lights. And we priced some icicle lights for outside, we also need a few new extension cords. I hope to go out tomorrow and get the twins that I babysit their birthday presents, along with all that stuff we need. After that I met with my mom and we went to the mall and she bought me a new pair of boots for an early Christmas present. Then we got a pretzel and I browsed for the twins' birthday present.

My picture for the day is of my new boots that I got today. It also has part of the picture frame that we got my mom in the picture as well.

Day 121 :: November 29, 2010

Well today is an awesome day, just for the fact that on this day 4 years ago me and my amazing hubby started dating. So HAPPY 4 YR (dating) ANNIVERSARY HUBBY!!!

Anyways so far today I have worked, and now waiting to go to class. Will have class until 3:30pm. Then I think I am going shopping with my mom for some new boots and maybe some more Christmas decorations. Other then that just another normal Monday. We will end the night watching all our Monday night shows and off to bed for another long work week.

Here is a picture of one of our 2 wreaths we have for Christmas.

Day 120 :: November 28, 2010

So today I worked until three. There are some pretty dumb people who come in as well as work there. One of my coworkers asked where the box was to flip the breaker switch. I told her where it was and she went in came out awhile later and was like "I figured out why I couldn't find it, because it was labeled 109 instead of breakfast room" I was like it doesn't matter what it's labeled its the only switch lite up. She looks at me (after having me repeat it a few times) and was like I have no idea what your talking bout and walked out the door. Later a guest checked in and I told them room 206, and they went to room 201 and stood their for awhile trying to get into the room, probably wondering why it wouldn't open before figuring out it was the wrong room.

Anyways after work, me and the hubby started decorating the house for Christmas. We got most of it up but there still some left to do. And we still need the tree up, not sure if we using the fake one again or using a real tree this year. Anyways here a picture of my hubby decorating the house.

Day 119 :: November 27, 2010

Didn't do that much today. I worked in the morning like normal. Then when I got home I watched a little t.v. before we had to get ready to go. Then we headed out to my Uncles for Thanksgiving dinner, for my mom's side of the family. We hung out there and visited with family for a little bit. Then headed home, and even though I was really tired I waited for my mom to stop by to pick up the dinner plate we took home for her, since we all forgot to fix one of to send home for her and for my cousin. After my mom left I was up for maybe twenty more minutes then I was out. It was a long day and I was so tired. I forgot my camera when we went to my Uncles so I couldn't take a picture there and for the rest of the day just didn't think of anything interesting enough to take a picture of. So I will find something tomorrow and take of picture of that and then take a second picture so I have one for tomorrow as well. Though I probably wont do to much interesting, though we might start decorating for Christmas so I could probably get two pictures out of that.

Here is my picture finally since we didnt do anything and what we did do I forgot my camera, so this picture wasn't taken today.

Day 118 :: November 26, 2010

The day after Thanksgiving was a good day, a very relaxing day. We hung out and went shopping to see what deals we could find. We got a few things for ourselves though hahaha. We used one of our gift cards for Kohls and bought us a Christmas picture frame. Then bought a wrapping paper storage container. Looked for a new tree topper and looked into a new fake tree or a real tree this year. Now we home watching a movie. We have one more Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow night then we can go full swing into Christmas!!!

My picture for today will probably be our new wrapping paper container. But I just haven't taken the picture yet.

Here is our wrapping paper container, that we have our bows, and ribbon, and tape and all that inside. Then I decided to put our new Christmas picture frame we got on top of it and get a picture of that as well.

Day 117 :: November 25, 2010

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!

Well today is Thanksgiving and so far the hubby and I have made breakfast and have been watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on t.v. After the parade we going to start cleaning the house up. He already did the dishes, we gotta sweep and pick up. Then start making the turkey at 1:30ish and start cooking the food and getting everything ready. We have everyone coming over around 6pm-ish. So exciting, it will be the second year of having Thanksgiving at our house. Last year went pretty good so this year I expect it to go just as good.

My picture for today is of me and my hubby. I forgot to get a picture before and after of the turkey so I am using one of us. Even though they all came out really weird, my camera taking a dump :

My camera put lines through the entire picture, for ever picture I took tonight which really sucks if I would of noticed that I would have changed camera.

Day 116 :: November 24, 2010

The day before Thanksgiving. I worked from 10am until 6pm. Long day, the family I work for was going Christmas shopping all day so I was at home with the FOUR kiddos. Younger two slept off and on all day, and the older two played games, and we played board games, and just hung out until their parents got home. Then the hubby and I made some dinner and then ran to the store for a couple last minute things we needed. We are now all set for Thanksgiving. Watched the only show we had tonight since the others weren't on and now I am headed to bed.

** Thankful for all the experiences I have gotten to do throughout my life.**

Countdown: 1 day until Thanksgiving.

My picture today is the one thing i am looking forward to tomorrow, the TURKEY. So I took a picture we got from my mom to make tomorrow. So excited.

Day 112 :: November 20, 2010

Saturday:

Well it's back to the hotel again. I hate the weekends only because of that. The day wasn't to bad though. After work I ran and got us something to drink. Then we spent the evening watching out DVR'd shows and watching a movie. We watched Get him to the Greek it was a good movie, pretty funny. Watched the DVR'd episode of Bones and gotta say the hubby was pretty disappointed that he has to wait 2 weeks to watch another episode since their wont be one on Thanksgiving. I did some reading for class, then we made a bet. Whoever won got a backrub. And I am proud to say that I won heheh. But I was a nice wife and gave him one after my amazing one. I love spending nights like that with my hubby.

**I am thankful for my amazing hubby, without I dont know what I would do :)**

Countdown: 5 days until Thanksgiving

My picture today is of the moon. I saw it outside the backdoor and it was shining through the trees and the picture could be way better but my camera sucks so this is the best I could get.

Day 111 :: November 19, 2010

FRIDAY:

Today is Friday yippee...Not really since I work on weekends so I dont really care when it's Friday other then I know i have to come to the worst place ever the next day. I worked until 11am. Then came home and did some dishes and folded some laundry, being a good wife :) Then watched my show I watch everyday, The Talk, then watched a couple shows I had taped. Alex got home early and we headed out to get his hair cut and did some Thanksgiving shopping, got everything we need except the veggies, and my mom bringing the Turkey on Monday. Stopped and grabbed dinner on the way home then hung ou a bit before heading out to the movies. We don't go very often but when we do it is nice, even though I prefer movies at home where I can cuddle with the hubbs and be comfortable in my pj's. We went to see the newest Harry Potter Prt. 1. He loved it and was sad to see it end because now he has to wait til Summer 2011 to see the second part, which will the be last movie EVER I believe. We got home and watched the two shows we taped, CSI: New York and Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders Making the Team. Then it was off to bed so I could go to work the nex day.

From today until Thanksgiving I am going to list 1 thing I am thankful for each day. And today I am thankful for my amazing family :)

Countdown: 6 days until Thanksgiving

My picture today is of the ticket stubs we got at the movies today.

Day 110 :: November 18, 2010

THURSDAY:

Today is Thursday and so far it's been a decent day. My car is fixed and I got some scrapbooking done with my mom. I worked until noon, it was a good day they both took two hour naps and were so cute the rest of the time. I watched some t.v. while they napped. Came home to my hubby and his step dad working on the car, and ordered a pizza for everyone. Now I am finishing this up and waiting to go to class. Going to have Alex tape our Thursday shows, Big Bang Theory, Bones, and CSI. Might watch one or two before bed.

Countdown: 7 days til Thanksgiving

My picture for the day is of my lil' kiddos again. I was taking pictures, which keeps them occupied and figured I would use those for today, so to save me from editing the pics I am just going to upload two for today!
