A Dancing Princess, A Christmas Zombie, and a Teenage Commander-In-Chief

Well, I was glad that someone else 'fessed up to watching "Momma's Boys".


Thanks, Misty! You and me, keepin' it real!


Boy our weekend was wild. But then again, when aren't they wild these days? I'm sure you all could second that sentiment.





Friday night Grace had a dance recital. It was lovely! She did such a good job. It was the first one that she's been in. She was nervous, but held up like a seasoned performer.





Afterwards, Curtis and I dropped off the kids at home and went to do a little shopping.
This is really the best part!
We pulled up to the house, all the kids got out and we drove away!!!
We left Hallie in charge of heating up a pizza and feeding everyone. Then she put Zane to bed. Everyone should really get themselves a teenage (still feels really weird to say) daughter. I'm sorry if you don't have one. Maybe someday!
So, Curtis and I went to a few stores that are going out of business. Circuit City was like death warmed over. All the sales people were just going through the motions, like zombies, trying to figure out what they will do with their paltry lives after the store closes for good. That place was licked cleaner than a chicken bone during a famine. Of course, if you're in the market for industrial shelving...that's the place for you.
Next up, Mervyn's. We actually got some really good deals there. Lots of clothes to be rifled through. Again, zombie salespeople. It's quite sad. The location we were at was Centerpoint in Goodyear. I can't remember when those stores opened up, but it couldn't have been more than 6-8 months. The carpeting still looked decent.
We are pretty much finished with the shopping. Just a few last minute things.
Saturday was my family party. It was fun. But we were missing 2 very important people. My sister Molly and my brother Tyge. Molly's coming this weekend though. And she's staying with us, MOM! And don't try to dissuade her. We're gonna have so much fun! We're gonna leave the husbands with the kids and live it up!!! Whoohoooo!
Waiting for Tyge to surprise us....(we might be waiting for a really long time). We love and miss him!
Anyways, enough of that touchy-feely stuff. We've composed ourselves and are ready to say...
I hope your holidays are going great!
