Countdown

Well, Christmas is in 2 days and i am still making up one list after another. I am almost done though. I have had a very busy week. Santa was here this last Sunday, God bless him and Mrs. Claus AGAIN for making it a memorable day for the kids. Yesterday, I made peantu butter balls, I hate making them but the boys love them. I have a few more things to get and hope that Rick does his part. I hate it when we decide on a gift and then he goes and does something completely different. I do my buying based on his and when he switches it up it tips the whole apple cart. One more day to convince him otherwise. It seems like every year there is one person that is IMPOSSIBLE. Oh well, I do what I can. Last night at Taco Tuesday, the dining gang exchanged bags of goodies. I have more than enough cookies, candies, etc for the holidays, thanks guys!! Cindy even baked which is quite an accomplishment for her. She is a GREAT cook, but doesn't bake. Good job Aunt Cindy!!! It was also decided that they are coming here for New Years Eve, ehcich is cool. Very casual, I will make my veggie chili and everybody is bringing something and we will play cards and Left, Right, Center. I hope to make it until midnight!! Tyler works that night, so maybe we will get to see him. Well, I gotta go and make up my list for today, times a wastin !!! Merry Christmas eveyone!!!!

He's Here!!!

Liam James if FINALLY here!! It seemed like only a few days since Aiden stood on a chair in Roscoes to show me his "Big Brother" shirt to surprise me with the announcement. Liam is such a chunk, he came into the world at 8 lbs. 12 oz. and was 19 1/2 inches long. He gets to go home today. We are going to go over on Saturday, take some food and smother that baby with kisses. I have special stuff for Aiden, he is going to be the best big brother. He was SOOOOO excited when he got picked up from school to go to the hospital. There were quite a few of us in the waiting room and talk about a sign of the times............... at a little after 7, ALL of our cell phones went off at once with the announcement from Alex that Liam came into the world at 6:18 PM. A few minutes later, Alex came down and got Aiden, Jamie's dad, and me and Rick so we could go see him. Aiden was SO cute. He gave Liam a little glow worm that plays songs and was more than happy to see him and Jamie. It tore my heart out though because as soon as Aiden realized that Jamie and Liam weren't coming home, he got very upset. He had me in tears too. Erik and Jamie took him home to his house and stayed the night with him and he got to go back early the next morning. Now, today they will ALL be going home and getting settled. It will kill me, but I am going to give them a couple of days to be their own little family... THEN I will pounce!!!!
