FINALLY FINISHED/HAPPY "B" DAY Katie

Yes, Xmas shopping that is.. I KNOW I KNOW... holy late batman... but I do have a reason! LOL

So John and I were some stressed for a while... about a week and a half ago, our car went "kaboom".. well it didn't really blow up but it oveheated while we froze our arses in the car.. Go figure. So off to the car repair man we go. We are told that this is a $1000 job, which we are okay with considering it's been a good car, and have had no major expenses with it either. Well that turned into another problem, which turned into a nother problem etc... until the final bill was $4250.. YES I AM NOT FIBBIN...LOL I was freakin! We had the money in savings, but that seriously hampered Xmas. My boy was flying in, and I had 2 girls who were seriously expecting that joly fat man to come down our non existent chimney. Well after a chat with my mom and dad they helped us out.

THANK YOU MOM AND DAD... YOU SAVED XMAS!

So John and I went out on friday and were pleasantly surprised at the lack of volume (I mean the rush of last minute shoppers is horrific) out there. Between Toys R Us and Walmart, we found everything. We also decided to forgo giving gifts to eachother and making it about the kids... That happens when you blow over $7000 in less than 2 weeks (remember we had to fly cody in, and drive all the way to Montreal to get him) LOL John and and I agreed to save for a new TV, and give it to eachother. Summer maybe??? LMAO

Anyways, Cody is here, my tree is up and smells wonderful, I am officially on holidays (scrapping and blog posting here I come) and I am just relaxing and waiting for the magic of Xmas. we will be heading to my mom and dad's tomorrow for a Xmas Eve feast, and of course Xmas day with Xmas dinner!

Have lots to check thru today but not too sure how much "findings" I'll post! But here we go!

First thing first a HUGE HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my YAYA Katie... I love you with all my hear sweetie and I hope you're day is full of laughter, happiness, love and SEX! LMAO!!!!! MMMMMMMMWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAA

And here are some pics of the party!!



I also went to Alexa's open house ballet class yesturday. TOO CUTE! I can't post too many pics as they have lots of other girls in there, and I don't have time to blur them... so here are some that I got of just Alexa... keep in mind that I have the worlds worst digital camera and Alexa was dancing all over the place... hence the quality sucks!!! LOL

Saturday Findings

YAWN... Good morning! I am so tired today, and have been nursing a headache all night... that sucks!!! LOL I just downloaded the entire third season of HOUSE, and think today may be a marathon day... just started downloading the third season of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES to get ready for the holidays!

So the Xmas gifts I am making are moving along well... still a little slower than i would like, but I'll get them done.

Had an awesome night with my YAYA's last night. We went to Katie's and she made an awesome salad and these stuffed pasta shells (YUM YUM YUM). We also did our cookie exchange and I must say us ladies can bake.. Tanya and Mellisa surprised us with some gorgeous gifts... I'll have to check with Tanya if I can post the amazing clipboard she made... and I'll snap a pic of what Mel gave me... it was too perfect! We opted out of going to a movie and stayed in and watched one instead. All in all the evening went awesome... We even took some pics to celebrate the rareness of all 5 of us actually co-ordinating our calendars and being able to get together. Hard to get 5 busy women in the same room for a designated amount of time...lol

Anyways.. enough of my babbling.... on with my brief Saturday Findings

Welcome December.... I cannot believe that Xmas is literally just around the corner. Where did the time go?

So last night I had my annual Xmas Party at the Junior Ranks mess, and I had a blast. John and I ducked out VERY EARLY though, as we didn't have any kids in our house last night and we actually got to do married couple things... BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... That and we got a chacnce to cuddle anf watch a movie..LOL It was amazing! I'll post some pics soon, as I dressed up and actually looked like a girl...LOL

So once again I have been a bad little blogger. Probably will be until the New year seeing as I don't have one day on my calendar that is free. Also trying to make some Xmas gifts for my inlaws (my FIL funeral albums)so that is filling up whatever free time that I do have.. LOL
