It's been sooooo long.....

My oh my! It's been about 6 months since the last blog update. Yikes. Maybe I should make my New Year's Resolution now and agree to update this blog at least once a month. That should be an attainable goal. It's not like I am trying to loose the last 10 lbs. that I have been trying to get rid of since the mid 90's or anything. It's just simply an update to the blog. Should be simple enough!

So much has been going on. We just returned from a week at the beach to celebrate Thanksgiving. It was fun, the weather was great, and the family made it totally worth it!! We have so much to be thankful for and I am trying to think daily about what I am thankful for. Maybe that can put things into perspective during these few weeks until Christmas.

Syd & Ange celebrated birthday's. Syd turned 10 in October and Andrew turned 8 in November. Syd and her friend Madison went to see Miley Cyrus for their birthday. We surprised them with tickets and a limo ride to the concert. They had a great time and Miley put on a good show. She really is a cute girl with a good bit of talent. Too bad that I can't say the same for her brother. He is horrible and Metro Station should just disappear. They only have 1 good song and I feel quite certain that the song has been "digitally enhanced" b/c it did not sound that good live and in person. Andrew celebrated his birthday down at the beach at Lulu's. This is a tradition that we have been doing for several years. Super fun place and was great to have a party of 16 there to celebrate with us!!!

I had a birthday at the beginning of November and I am officially half way to 70!! Yikes! Lord help me! Enough of that!

We are 3 weeks away from Christmas break and I am glad that I have only a few more weeks until we are out again for 2. I need to get busy and finish decorating for Christmas. It will be here before you know it! I have 3 more trees to put up and decorate and I still need to decorate the outside. Looks like it will be a long couple of days! Poor Darby...he will have to put in overtime to help me finish it all in time (like for this weekend)!!!

I will post photos of all our fun in another post VERY soon. I promise. :)
