The company has cleared, my house is almost put back together and it's time to start stamping anything but Christmas!!! :) I've got thank you notes to do before I can stamp for Leadership and I'm so excited to get back to work!
First though, a Christmas wrap-up. We were able to spend time with both sides of the family this Christmas and not do any traveling. You have no idea how wonderful that is until you've spend every Christmas driving across the Nevada desert from CA to Idaho. Now that we are here we are in Idaho and only 4 hours away from our families, that is one thing we are so grateful for!
Here are a few highlights
Santa brought Benjamin a lot more accessories for his MacBook computer. He got a magic mouse, adaptors, remote control, wireless keyboard and things I don't even know what they are. Wonder how Santa figured that all out?!
Santa finally brought Nicholas the pool table he's been wanting for years! Now he can play pool, air hockey, table tennis and finger football.
Sock monkey hats for skiing...but we haven't been yet and the hats have not come off their heads! :)Edited to Add: Oh my gosh! who knew these sock monkey hats would cause such a stir!! I bought them at a store called Fuego in the Boise Towne Square Mall in Boise, Idaho.
Benjamin made a fun snowman cake for dessert! Yum-o!
Christmas Eve we let the boys open their new Rock Band to play with all the cousins. My sister Kerry's son Cody was the most entertaining singer of the night!
Hmmm...maybe he gets it from his mother??
My mom, the non-stamping appreciator :), and my nephew Cody (sporting his new Mohawk for wrestling), watching the Rock Band concert.
Georges family came Christmas day and stayed a couple days after. Benjamin and Nicholas here with Yaya (George's mom), his sister Helene and her husband Les and their son Lee James. We missed you Natalie & Kyle, hope you had a good Christmas visiting Kyles family!I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your families too!
Time to pack up the Christmas stamps and get on with Valentine's. Good thing my favorite color red continues into Valentine's Day! :)

Those cakes your son is making are FANTASTIC! GREAT JOB!!!!!! He's inspired me to take some cake decorating classes...I hope Michael's in my area offers them!
Benjamin did good job with the cake. He's better than me. LOL, yes, I knew how to decorate the cake but he's better than me. I'm glad you had great Christmas time with your family. My husband and I were thrilled to have our second grandchild on the way in 2010.
