Happy New Year to all my family and friends! I wish all the best to all of you in the new year - may all your dreams come true! We had a very nice holiday season - busy but fun! We hosted the Barkers and the Radebaughs on Christmas Eve - served torsk, ham and lutefish. Greg did most of the work since I was working, and he did a wonderful job!! The fish turned out great - even the slimy lutefish and I think the meal was enjoyed by all! We served it dormitory style in our empty basement and it worked quite well! It was so nice to have everyone all together!! We had our own family christmas after everyone left and I got two digital picture frames to show off Briggs and our coming grandchild. One will fit in my purse for my Grandmas brag book and I can't wait to use it! Christmas Day was at Dave and Shortys and they had their signature prime rib. Even if I don't enjoy rare meat so much, they put a piece in the microwave for me and it is excellent! It was a wonderful, relaxing day. Back to work on Friday and then to the lake for some rest and relaxation! Greg and I went over to Andrew and Meagans and they primed the babys room to get it ready for Meagans Dad to spray it after New Years. It turned out so good by the looks of the pics and I can't wait to see it in person!
New Years was spent at the lake for the second annual party with Bil and Mark and Dave and Kim. Richard and Marj chickened out this year, but wanted to be kept on the guest list for next year! I was done with work by 3:30 this year (a new record!) and was there before the guests for a change. We had alot of good appetizers, good drinks, and great company. We played games and had alot of fun. The next day we did our bar hopping in DL and a great time was had by all! I was the DD since again I had to drive back to work.
We stayed home this weekend and Billie hosted a family baby shower for Meagan and Andrew. It was very nice, except that the weather was threatening so some the girls didn't want to venture out into it. It was to bad, but I'm glad we got it in anyway. It could be anytime now, and I think she enjoyed all the gifts she did get. Greg and I got them a Sony Camcorder so they can remember all the great times they will have with this baby and record every minute!
The time is coming for this baby and we are all getting so excited. Meagan is the cutest preggo lady ever and while I want the baby to come - it all seems to be going so fast! Maybe not for her, but for us! I just know that time flies way to fast and he will be here before we know it! I can't wait to get my hands on him!
I am dreaming of getting out of this weather for awhile - we are planning our vacation but waiting to schedule to see when the baby gets here. We don't want to go before cause we would hate to be gone when he arrives and don't want to leave to soon after he comes cause we would miss him - so the time frame is on hold, but my dreams are not. Right now we are thinking we may go to CA to see the relatives for a few days and then on to San Diego for a few days cause it looks really nice there. The weather sounds great and I have found some really nice hotels to pick from. It just sounds like a really nice place to check out with lots to do. Maybe, Maybe.
Take care everyone - have a great week!
