OOOOPS! I FOUND THIS IN MY EDIT SECTION TODAY. THOUGHT I ALREADY POSTED IT...LOOONG AGO. I'LL DOWNLOAD THE XMAS PICS SOON...I PROMISE!!!!
The highlight of our Christmas holiday was by far K realizing Santa Clause brought her a kitchen of her very own. The only mistake Santa made was setting it out next to the tree so she could see it first thing. Because of that, it took us TWO HOURS to open presents b/c we literally had to bribe, coax, and threaten to get K to open any of her other gifts. She was too busy cooking!!! So far, she has made cupcakes, soup, chocolate chip cookies, and supper for us. Oh, and tea. They were all very yummy. If you ask her, she'll tell you they were "mmm...deee-lis-us." Missy Miss had quite a Christmas. Tons of toys and a little brother who was too small to fight about what's his versus hers. Next year she won't be so lucky!
Little Mister also did well. He enjoyed sleeping through most of the present-opening, and nursing through the part he was awake! Not a bad morning I'd say! His favorite gift was his new bouncy seat/rocker. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa M! Oh, and plenty of clothes to fit his ever-growing belly!!!
Mommy and Daddy got a few surprises as well. The nicest one was Little Mister sleeping from 9pm-6:30 am Christmas eve morning. What a treat!!!! The other one was a four day weekend together. And another one coming up this weekend! Gotta love that!
Amazon.com didn't get a few things delivered on time, but THANK GOD that didn't include the kitchen. That would have been a true travesty. We had a lovely holiday, the kind where you just sigh and look at each other lovingly at the end of the day. Then crash out and sleep as long as you possibly can! Santa was very good to us all. We have two beautiful children, a warm home, and lots of family fighting to see us (don't ask...).
Here are some pics of our fun time together. Hope your holidays were as nice as ours. On to 2008!!!!

My thoughts
There are a few things I was reflecting on while I was out working on Saturday. I thought I'd share some thoughts with you....
1. Observed on a For Rent lighted sign posted in the front yard: FOR RENT ALL UTILITY'S PAID
One of my biggest pet peeves is when people make simple spelling errors (even though I make plenty myself). A bigger peeve is when people use apostrophes when things are just plural. Just plural, people! No ownership necessary!
2. Observed scratched into a bathroom stall door in Loogootee: WIPE YOUR ASS. Which begs the question, who exactly are the women that write on bathroom stall doors? I mean, I went through the impulsive-bad-decision making stage as a teen too, but seriously. Who does that? The funnier thing is when there are entire conversations written on walls. You know, somebody calls someone else a "ho" and then someone else writes something back to the first person even nastier. How much time do they have on their hands to stand around writing all this?
3. I love seeing all the Christmas lights and decor this time of year. Especially the outdoor versions. I could drive around for hours at night looking at all of it. Personally, I think all the blow-up stuff is tacky as tacky can be, but to each their own and all that (sorry if that is you). However, there is a house around the corner from me that puts out a lighted blow up PALM TREE every year. A palm tree? It irritates me. Seriously irritates me. I might go steal it . (If anyone can explain it, please enlighten me.)
4. There's nothing like letting your 2 year old daughter watch her favorite (and new obsession) cartoon Little Bear. She wanders around quoting lines from the cartoon, sings songs from it, and randomly calls things "Cubby." (Which is very cute) And then during an episode where LB finds his Grandfather's boxing gloves, he clocks his Grandfather in the jaw. Since my daughter saw that episode earlier this morning, she has hit me in the jaw with a closed fist at least three times. While angry. Yeah, that's always a good day. (Note: for all you On Demand people, it is the episode called "Attic")

J update
Current mood: happy
J had his two month check up yesterday and all is well! He is 10 pounds 14 ounces (25th percentile) and 23 inches long (50th percentile). He has lost most of the hair on the top and sides of his head, but it is still hanging around in the back. LOL The hair is growing back on the top and looks dark brown right now. His eyes are still blue and seem to be turning into the same color of blue as K's eyes. He is awake a lot more now (finally!) and smiles all the time. He is starting to find his voice and makes random yells which surprises all of us, especially him!
