christmas 2009

it has come and gone. we wait so long and then it is over in a few short hours. we were extremly blessed this year with good health and much happiness. the girls cousins kennedy and klaudia were able to come spend the holiday with us. that is what the holidays are all about (family). chloe received a hamster this year. his name is mr. bibble. he is very cute but i still prefer not to touch him. it is the whole rodent thing. madelyns big gift this year was an ipod touch. this was great for her since 2 days before christmas she sent her phone through the wash. she is able to at least text the ipod. right now she trying to save every penny she has for a new phone. if anyone needs any odd jobs or babysitting done i am sure she is willing to help for a price. jim received the new nook from barnes and noble. i am hoping that it is as cool as what we have read about. should be here in a couple of weeks. my gift was a new laptop. hopefully i will be able to keep up with all of my blogging. happy new year to all. a
