Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope that you all had a great day.....I sure did! We started off the day by reading the Bible and then opening presents at home, and then after that we headed off to Nana's house where my mom's sister and brother-in-law (my aunt and uncle), and her brother and his family, were also there. We opened up the presents from the secret santa thing we did, and from Auntie Jenn and Uncle Dan. Then we "hung out" for a little while, and then ate. After we ate we opened presents from Nana and Papa. Now we are just "hanging out" some more. Some are playing games......some eating dessert.....and some watching the movie Mary and Joseph! It was a great day, and I (at 7:00) am ready to go to bed right now (after going to bed at 1:00 last night)! Please leave a comment, if you read this and let me know how your Christmas was. Thank you so much!

Charlie bit me: Working with Harry and Charlie

I posted a while ago a video "Charlie bit my finger", well this is sort of an "update" on them. It's called working with Harry and Charlie.....(auntie Jenn....you may not have seen this one...have you?)!!!!

SNOW!!!!

We have like 7-8 inches of snow already.....and it's still coming down!!! Oh my goodness. I woke up to it just snowing really hard! Caleb and Julianna have been out in the snow....not me however! haha. Maybe Micah has...idk???? Julianna, Micah and Caleb would have had piano lessons, but we canceled....so much snow! I don't know if we would be able to get out. We can't start the snow-blower (dad's not here)... and we only have one snow shovel! We need to get some more shovels....SOON....and we are going to (maybe today or tomorrow). So, Caleb still just texts like crazy......I hear a noise (for his text) like every 2 minutes it seems (except in the morning)! Yesterday I texted some people, and they weren't texting me....so then I texted my cousin (who was also texting Caleb), and I was like "noone is texting me... everyone is texting Caleb....text me". She was like ok.....and then other people started texting me, and I was like....agh! I can't answer you all...stop texting me. (I was texting like 4 people or something)! It was so nuts! Ha-ha! It was funny. Caleb probably (receives and sends), 300 a day... easily! That is so amazing. I counted it up, and if I kept doing what I was doing (send about 60 a day, and receive 60 a day....) I would have almost 4,000 texts in a month! WOW! Just think of what Caleb would have....he would have like 10,000 (ok, maybe not that many....but then again....maybe!)!!!!!!!! I have never heard of somebody having so many texts. Ok, off the subject of texting!


Ok, I was gone....eating lunch and stuff....now I am back! But.....I guess I don't have a lot more to say....so, that is all for now! It is not snowing anymore...we got about 9-10 inches! So, yeah....a lot. Micah, Julianna and Kristianna are out in the snow now. That's all for now. Bye-bye!

December post

Hello everyone, how are you all doing? I am doing well, and finally feeling I think 100% better from when I was sick. I think everyone else is also.



What's new? We got texting yesterday on our phones!!! It's sooooooooo fun to text. We are so excited! Caleb (i.e.) received 110 texts yesterday! lol That is a LOT. I got a bunch too, but only 52! Ha-ha. Susanna however only received about 15 or so. Oh, well....she just didn't do it as much as us. She'll catch up! haha


We are getting ready to go to a nursing home at about 10:00 to sing and play our instruments for Christmas. Then , I don't know what we are doing the rest of the day. Actually I do know that we are going to a living nativity tonight (I think). So, that will probably be fun.


I went to the orthodontist the other day and they took the pictures for me to send in, to see if Mass Health will pay for my braces. They already denied me once (about two years ago), so we'll see what happens this time! Also earlier that morning we went Christmas Caroling with the Home-school group at our Church. Then we went back to the Church for a pot-luck, and had to get out of there pretty quick after to go to the orthodontist.


I thought of another thing we did that was fun recently (I really haven't blogged in a while. haha). We went to a cookie swap a couple days ago, and got 96 cookies there! We had to bring 6 dozen, and then we would get 6 dozen back. But, there were a couple left over, and one lady didn't want to take "her cookies" back, cause she had some left at home, so we got to take a couple extra dozen....so that's how we got so many!


Well, that's all for now. If I think of anything else that happened exciting that I forgot, or if something else exciting does happen....I'll try to post something about it! Oh, and I have some pictures that I want to post sometime also!


'Til next time,

Joke

This is a joke that I saw in something that we got from our Church....I thought it was funny, and thought that you might get a laugh out of it also!

Dear Child,
I am writing this to you slowly because I know that you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the paper that most accidents happen within 20 miles from your home, so we moved. I won't be able to send you the address, as the last family that lived here took the house numbers when they left so that they wouldn't have to change their address.
This place is real nice. It even has a washing machine. This week I put a load of laundry in, pulled the chain, and haven't seen them since.
The weather isn't too bad here, it only rained twice last week. The first time it rained for three days, and the second time for four days.
Your Uncle Steve thought that the coat you wanted me to send you would be too heavy to mail, so we cut the buttons off and put them in the pockets, Hopefully you will find them and sew them back on. I am sorry that we had to do this and cause you extra work, but our financial woes are laying heavy upon us.
Things are tough all around. We got another bill from the funeral home. They said if we don't make the last payment on Grandma's grave, up she comes.
John locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were worried because it took him two hours to get me and Shelby out.
Your sister had a baby this morning! I haven't found out what it is yet, so I don't know if you are an aunt or an uncle. If the baby is a girl, your sister is going to name her after me. She is going to call it Mom.
Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pick-up truck. Ralph was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your two other friends were in the back. Sadly, they drowned because they could not get the tailgate down. There isn't much more news at this time. Nothing much has happened.


Love, Mom


P.S. I was going to send you some money, but the envelope was already sealed....sorry.

Sisters

Hey everyone, I really like this video, it's so beautiful. I hope you enjoy it like I did!

Late......

Happy Birthday to Kristianna (one day late)!


Kristianna turned 5 yesterday, and to say the least, she was very excited to be 5 (finally!).
She also had her toe looked at (it had been swollen for a while, and she went to have it checked out.....I'm not exactly sure what happened to it, but it was about 1w 1/2 to 2wks. ago that she hurt it), and they said it was broken (she had x-rays), and they said that she had to have it looked at by someone else! So, she went today, and they said that it is fine, and that it will probably "be better" (and not so swollen), soon (and if it's not in the next two-three wks, then she would have to go back, and have it looked at again)! So, that' the story with that! These pictures are of Kristianna at Fun Spot when we went in September!

Well, that's all for now.....................

'Til next time,
