Christmas 2006

well..... it's hard to believe it is Boxing day already..... we had a really nice day yesterday.

I picked my kids up at their mom's house on Christmas eve just before 9 , and we came home.... we had some snacks, and watched a movie.... and went to bed.... I fell asleep on the couch, really wishing I'd gone to bed, but the kids insisted that I stay up until midnight so they could wish me Merry Christmas... I'm such an old fart!

Christmas morning, the girls were up at 6:30 ... jeeeeeeeepers! I woke up at 6:15 and got up and did the stockings...... and then I went back to bed for an hour..... got up and made coffee cake, and then we opened presents.... Kids got me a really nice electric grill, which I've wanted for a long time.... so I used it to make breakfast around 10 .... man does that thing work nice!

The kids had planned to go home around noon, and I had planned to come to Belleville to have lunch mid afternoon with my folks... but their mom called to tell us to not hurry as she wasn't going to be ready anyway! So they stayed until 3.... I took them home at 3, came back to my townhouse, and then went back to their house and had turkey with them. It was the first time we've had a Christmas meal together like that in 6 years.
After supper, I drove to Belleville to see my folks. Am spending one day here, and then back to work tomorrow...... Christmas sure is over quick!!

We woke up to snow this morning in Belleville.... 2 or 3 inches of heavy wet snow fell in just over 2 hours... wicked... too bad it hadn't come yesterday!

Dad is outside running the snow blower, and then he and I are going up to the Future Shop...... we should be in and out quick and will be back to the house by Wednesday afternoon!!!!



here are some pictures from yesterday.
