Yay! I'm blogging from my brand new iPad! Tye brought it home for me yesterday. I was sur-prised indeed.
I always thought they were cool, but never thought of spending that kind of money on me. Or on something I don't "need".
But, I have to say, it's pretty rad.
I know that I haven't even begun to know all it can do. But it will be fun to figure it out.

Last night I downloaded a bunch of free iBooks. Then I read one to grace as we snuggled, rather than watching tv.
It's good.
Really good.

So, how was your Xmas? Ours was fantastic!
Tye was pleasant, grace was pleasant. I think I was pleasant.
We went to my mom and dads on the 23rd to celebrate Xmas. Everyone had originally planned on going to San diego over Xmas, but us. So we made othee loans for Xmas. Then, not everyone decided to go to San diego, so, my parents came here.
However, we had already made Xmas plans, enter Xmas on the 23rd.

It was great. We ate, talked, played games. We also gave my parents their gift.
We had the grandkids pictures professionally done for them.
The last time we had them done was 8 years and 4 grandkids ago.
It was time.

I had my sister in law, Sara, take the pictures.
Those that are followers, prally already know how awesome she is.
Then ww had them printed on wrapped canvas from iprintcanvas.
He rocks.
Our pictures came out UH-MAZING!!

We were so excited to give the pictures to them.
They LOVED it!!!!

My mom cried. Score!

Then we played trivial pursuit until 2 in the morning.
It was such a great night.

The next night we went to tyes moms for our annual family Xmas party. Every year we have a themed party. This year analee wanted to have us bring our music stuff so we could make music. So we decided that we would all come dressed as musicians. Well, not EVERYONE was a musician.

Tye was some guy from alice in chains. He actually could have been kid rock.
Grace was shania twain and I was Elton John. I will post pics when I can get them from Sara.

Analee was Liza maneli (sp?)
I can't remember who Doug was, but he looked AWESOME!!!
Yale was Ted nuggent, allee was pat benatar (sp?)
Linzy was one of the beetles and Xander was Chris ledeux.
Alex was Elvis, Sara was MJ and Oliver was Michael McClain. Oliver was my favorite. He looked awesome!!!

Anyway, it was a great night with yummy food and awesome music,

Grace got a couple small things for Xmas from Santa. Then......from around the corner the kitty came.
She flipped out!
She has wanted a cat for a long long time. I have always said no.
She eventually got good with it. So she didn't suspect a thing!!!

I'm not gonna lie, this kitty is pretty damn cute!!
We named her Tori.

Then up to tyes dads we went. We spent most of the day there. It was really nice and relaxing.

However, I am glad that it is over.

Now, back to the gym. I gotta get there before the beginning of the year so it isn't just a resolution.
Know what I mean?

Bye bye.
