Christmas Part Deux

Part two of our Christmas tour ended in Norton Kansas. Where we met the lovely Henry David. He is such a cutie!! I see a lot of the Becker in him. He looks a lot like his grandpa Becker! All of the cousins were together as the Brown kids made the trip as well.

I'm sure Henry was wondering what all the rucus was but he handled it well! Mom loved her quilt that I finally got finished for her. She took a wonderful picture of her and all her babies on it!

Now that the holidays are over I need to get this house back under control. You can't see the living room table and the laundry is going to take a whole weekend to get done. So if you are wondering what I am doing the next couple of days you will know.

Resolutions/Projects for 2010:

Don't buy anymore yarn (Jan-March)!! I can't go a whole year ;-)

Cook at home more!

Kitchen Renovation

Potty Train D

Get Organized

Finish all of my knitting projects that are started:

Simple Cardigan

Wicked Sweater

Cable Guy Sweater

Caterpillar

I think that is enough for one year!!!!

A Very Merry Meerpohl Christmas

We are not quite done with Christmas yet but if I don't update now I'm afraid I'll forget precious details. I think I'll make this entire post precious details. hmmmmm

1.) You are never too young to play Santa. D passed out presents to the entire Meerpohl clan regardless of who the present was for or if it was already in someones pile!

2.)Christmas does not impress Baby Dominic. He was asleep about 2 minutes into opening gifts.

3.)Getting caught in the middle of a nerf gun fight is actually quite fun!

4.)Carson can tell you that you can never get too many KU Shirts!!

5.)It is worth getting stuck in the snow to get a 75% off prelit Christmas tree! Just ask Kelly!!

6.) The most interesting part of a Christmas present to a toddler is always the box!

7.) Jenny's favorite color may not be green but that is our favorite color for her!

8.) Booze is always a welcome gift!

9.)A Blizzard will always guarantee the birth of a baby! Yeah Henry David 8lbs 12ozs!!

10.)I got everything on my Christmas list! Next year I'm asking for a hairless cat!!! Yeah!!!

Happy Birthday Kelly!!

The head of the manor (he can have the title for the day :-) is celebrating his birthday today! We already ate BBQ for his bday earlier in the week and I think he is going out with friends on Saturday. He is pretty easy to please!! D almost said happy birthday today but instead he just waved bye bye as his daddy left for work. We take what we can get!

Getting ready for Christmas around here. The lights are up outside (THANK YOU KELLY) and we also added an inflatable Santa to our decor. Kelly hates those things so I know he must really love me to put one in the yard. LOL

I have been trying to remember to take a picture at night to show everyone but so far I have been to tired and cold to venture back out at night with the camera once I'm inside.

D has not tried to pull over the Christmas tree and I am very proud of him for that. I'm anxious to see how he will be once we put presents under it.

That's about all for now. I will include some of D's sexy lumber jack pictures! He is just the best lumberjack EVER! I'm biased...

Let it Snow!

Last night we finally got some of the white stuff! I know a lot of people don't appreciate the snow but I can't get into the holiday spirit without it. Kelly rushed around last night and got the lights finished as well as our new inflatable Santa. He is great!

Yesterday D visited my office as I needed to take in a gift card for our department's gift to the foster children for Christmas. I had kept forgetting so I went and got it and then dropped it off on my day off. D liked meeting everyone and got to play on the phone! He was a character.

I hope today D and I don't go stir crazy but I don't plan on getting out today for any reason.

Did do some Christmas shopping yesterday but it was just the beginning so I need to get busy on that.

Hope everyone is staying dry and warm today!!!
