Welcome to Dana's blog!

Merry Christmas Eve!

We bought Jesus cake today!LOL They were at the grocery adn had these SMALL CHristmas cakes fo r $1.50--I said HEY MOM!ROTLF!

We had such a nice day!!!!!!!!! CHurch was great--no one stayed for our SS, but oh well. It was so cute--whoever has Joey has a prayer partner knows us well!LOL His gift was in 'our seats' at church and they must've been VERY early cuz even my mom didn't see! ANd she gave us a big bag for Mat and said it was his--his prayer partner is a lady that my mom helps alot (she's had the stroke and stuff). Well it turns out only ONE thing in the bag was Mat's!LOL He was sort of let down after I handed it to him and he kept saying, NONE OF THESE HAVE MY NAME ON THEM!ROTFL!!!!! She had a gift for JOey, one each for my parents and then one for both of them. I kept the card cuz I forgot about it. I opened on the way to Taco bell and it was a $100 gift card to the local Mexican place!!!!!!! Instructions were to take us all out to lucnh there!LOL Go us--go us--go us!LOL SO I gave that back to mom. Then we went back to their house for a bit. Mat was dying to drive multiple tractors (he'd memorized the different gear shift and had been practicing!LOL) It was funny--I've got pics. Meanwhile, I got drafted to help mom load the van! YIKES! That thing is PACKED!!!!!!!!!! I mean PACKED!!!!!! And it took some time, we were almost done and my sister called to bawl her out about something, meanwhile I heard Dh yelling at the (stupid) dog, Kaleb. The thing is as big as an Ox (the one that got hit by a motorcycle and the cycle flipped and the driver flew off and the dog stayed put....) only he was seriously shorted in the logic dept. The way Dh was acting, I thought he'd attacked one of the children (very surprized) so I took off running ot see that he had 2 bikers cornered. My dad was WALKING and I said to him to HURRY UP! He called me my mom's name and then my sister's. I knew better than to correct that and you hear Joey (who was oblivious to it all) pipe up and say, my mom is DANA!ROTFL!!!!!!!! These bikers had their dog spray out and everything and dad finally got out there and got his collar. They'd already lost a biker (I mean bicycler, BTW) when another dog bite her tired and blew it out!!!! But the van finally got loaded and we played a game of Sequence (mom, J oey and I). Joey creamed us. No biggie. I came home and played MOnopoly Jr  w/Joey adn the boy SLAUGHTERED ME! He had 13 of the 16 properties!ROTFL!!!

Leftover sloppy joes and homemade sour cream and onion potato chips (from AW!) are for supper and I have their PJs bagged nad under the tree nad I still need to sort the gifts so that when the alarm goes off at 2 or 3 (haven't decided when to set it yet), I can just set up and be back in bed 10 min later.......

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God Bless you each and every one!!!!!!!
