Hi, it's me again!

It's been so long since I have written that I actually had to reset my password because I couldn't remember it! How many bloggers can claim that?? We have just survived Christmas 2008. It was a fairly uneventful experience........by that I mean that the kids were fairly well behaved and were marginally excited about the whole process, which equals a success for us. We crammed 3 Christmases into 2 days, which is an event unto itself. We started at the crack of dawn at our house where Santa had waved his magic wand in ourl iving room. Then, about 1:00pm, we headed up to Ocala and visited with my family and had Christmas that evening. The next day we went over to John's Mom's house and had a brunch and Christmas again, and then came home so John could go to work. It was a pretty busy two days! The kids are very excited about the things they got..........Ian wanted WII games, and got the Guitar Hero bundle pack from Santa. Gavin wanted electronic Monopoly, and has discovered that it isn't any fun playing against Daddy, who immediately puts up hotels on his property and then it costs 25 million to stay a turn. I just want to know how my hubby can be such a tycoon at Monopoly, but just can't seem to turn that around into a life experience!! I'm sure it's because nobody has ever stared him out with 15 million before! Emma got a huge assortment of Barbie furniture and is very content to sit up in her room and play with her Barbie's all day!
