1st post of the new year!

I can not believe that I haven't posted since before the new year. Not a whole lot has changed. I am working hard at hardly working, while J still works his ass off to support our family. Does not pay to be a hair stylist in this economy. Oh well, at least I get to be with my daughter tons more than most parents!
I mostly was writing this post to remind myself of a page that I bookmarked as well, but was afraid it might get deleted. This page is going to be very helpful in the future, as I was bit by the bug for Christmas. Not the cricut bug this time (that was my birthday) but the cuttlebug! If anyone has one, definitely check this link out!!!!

A update of 12.08

Wow, where has time went! I didn't even realize that I haven't blogged in almost a month!
It has a been one hell of a ride! Ella wasn't completely gung-ho on the whole xmas thing this year. She didn' t give a rat's ass about opening the gift, just give me what's inside that box!
Next year, Ella! Next year...
Christmas Eve, we made our adventure over to "gamma and papa's" house. Got some good grub and opened her new baby and stroller. She was pretty pumped about driving that damn stroller over our feet all day and every day since!!
Christmas morning we woke up to see that Santa had brought El some fun looking gifts! Of course Mama forgot to take any pics of her opening her gifts, but she did enjoy her new table and chairs, plush Tinkerbell chair, and her ball popper!
So we quickly opened gifts and then shit, shaved, and showered to head off on our 4 hour/1 way drive to Watertown. We arrived just in time to eat, mmmm more food. We hung around all afternoon and caught up on the last two years. We only go there every other year, as we go to my family xmas on the opposite year. El was very happy to recieve a Raggedy Ann doll! She got right down on the floor with it and got dirty with it. It was hilarious!
After getting dirty with Ann, she drover the little car around until she got so tired that she started throwing fit after fit. Time to go... Static head and all... we took off for our trip back home.
So driving into a blizzard knowing you have normally 3 more hours is not so fun. It took us an extra 1 1/2 hours to get home. But we made it. Some how!
Couple days of normalcy go by, then it's time for our immediate family xmas at our house. It was a trial meal, but turned out amazing! So happy with it! Thank you Better Homes and Gardens!
El was so cute that day! I am so glad she did well, seeing she was starting to get sick! What a trooper!
So happy the holidays are over. Just have to get through the new year tomorrow night. Doesn't really matter since I have a date with Ella and a bottle of wine after she goes to bed. It will be the 2nd annual, after going out with friends every year since I met J. He is working for the 2nd year and it's just not the same. Miss you J & B!!!
But, on a good note... I get to scrap New Years Day!!! Yay!!!

My litl elfs 1st debut...

Well, Christmas is officially here! I am not really ready, but when I find my trusty litl old man elf, it's time! Here he is to make his 1st debut on my blog. I made him when I was like in K or 1st grade. He may need a litl work, but I gotta love him just the way he is!
So we finally got a little snow that's going to stick. So for all you snow wishin fools, here is a pic for you to salivate over. Ugghh, you can have it! Come and get it!!!
Lastly, I took some pics of my little Ella that I'd like to share. I put a dress on her that someone gave us just to see if it fit and she turned into a little ham for the cam.
She wasn't to sure at 1st...
But, then she warmed right up!
