Christmas happenings!

Okay so it's been a few days since I've blogged. I have gotten rather side-tracked because my Skank friends and I have created a beautiful facebook group lol. It's called "Skanks Inc" and I know so many people just don't get it. Well, you don't have to. It's an inside thing lol 

Anyway, we had a wonderful Christmas. It is hands down my favorite holiday. I hate the financial issue part of it. I never have much money, no matter how hard my hubby and I work all year long. We are managing to stay pretty even though. Our savings haven't gone up at all, but they haven't gone down either. We are just maintaining a balance. As long as we don't go on any shopping spree's, we are fine. Which is what our problem was for Christmas. I am so very thankful though that we are at least staying afloat. Even if it is just barely.

Christmas Eve was really fun. We went over to Uncle Charlie's for our annual Christmas Eve gathering. It's always a good time. This year, we played Christmas Bingo. Even the kids got to play and we had prizes for all ages. All the kids won at least once. 

Zachy won this spin brush as a prize in bingo

 This was by far the best gift ever lol. Thanks to my sister for paying attention the day that I posted a link to this product on my facebook.

 

My sister-in-law and I did not plan this. We showed up wearing the exact same shirt.

 My cousin, Ryan, was in rare form that day. He had me about in tears from laughter a couple times. Here he is with my Uncle Charlie (his dad) trying to clean up the kitchen after we ate. They were in some type of amazement over the Christmas Press N Seal paper lol

Mom wanted a pictures of her and dad with their kids, and then just one of their kids. So we got together and took so cute ones! 

^^  I'm gonna try and get this one framed for mom ^^

 Then of course, we had to show our true colors!

 Christmas Day, me and Zachy got up before Aaron and I let Zach open his gifts because if we would have waited on Aaron, Zach wouldn't have gotten to play with them at ALL before going to his daddy's. Aaron had stayed up til like 6am. You can't do that when you have a kiddo on Christmas Eve! Lol

Zach leaves fudge and cookies for Santa, before he goes to bed.

This is after Santa came. 

 He loved his new Furby

He got this imaginex castle.

Then went to Mom's after that and had Christmas there with Grandma, Mom, Dad, Kati, and Tommy. 

 Kati actually had this on their wedding registry. Who does that? Kati does. The girl is to funny.

 Tommy and Aaron with their favorite game shirts. 

Best picture of the day, hands down. Never a dull moment in this family. 

So later on Christmas night, mom was admitted to the hospital after waking up from a nap with a fever of 105. She has cellulites (sp?) and has been there since that day. She is still there. Not getting any worse, but def not getting any better. Her body is not responding to the antibiotics, so they are giving her something else. At first I thought it was a staph infection, but it's not. However, it could very easily turn into one, and since her knee was replaced, and is a foreign body part, they are worried about it developing there as well. SO everyone just please keep mom in your prayers. She has to be able to make it to Kati and Tommy's wedding on Saturday. Fingers crossed and praying like crazy!

Until next time!
