December Daily - 25...the wait is over.....WOOLIE WINTER WONDERLAND is here

December 25

Woolie Winter Wonderland is upon us - Today was nothing short of AMAZING. I actually pee'd a little in my pants. I have no idea why I was not more prepared for the talents of my family. I never laughed so hard....I mean so hard you pee a little in your pants!  (sorry if too much information, but you will understand when you see the pictures).

This is my Aunt's Woolie - if you know me well you know I  L.O.V.E Halloween - so this one I wanted to keep. The backdrop just made it...right!1 I told her that if she decides she no longer wants..I MUST have it.

Witchie Woolie

Skittles Woolie - you have to understand - Sierra Loves skittles! Loves them - so this was so funny and appropriate.  The detail was amazing - from the skittle rainbow, to the colored sand in the bottom of the box - and what Barbie doesn't want to hang out with Skittles Woolie - he is the BOMB.

This was my uncle's Woolie, if you think I am a competitor - WOW you have no idea what this guy is capable of - he brings his A-GAME.  This was Homey Woolie...need I say more..

the house went nuts when he opened the "story" - it was a recordable card  -

Be sure to listen to this within the first few seconds......you might have to play it again.....it is SOOO FUNNY.

This is my sister, Angela - need I say more...

This is my brother in-law Jason, for some reason he tends to always focus his "costumes" on this area - he was Dick in a box from Saturday night live one Halloween, he was a sheep fu%$*# another year for Halloween - and now this...LOL

This was my mom's Woolie - she stayed true to the official Woolie - she said she doesn't have the heart to poke fun at them...ha ha.  We all agreed that she did an EXCELLENT job at make the most "real" like Woolie.

December Daily - 23......Dodgeball & Chirstmas - what a mix

December 23

Last day of work before the holiday weekend - it was so quiet there, the past few weeks have been very stressful at work - so I thought what better way to relief some of that bottled up stress - both from work, shopping, baking...etc, etc. than a game of Dodge Ball!! I of course had to participate but another co-worker took some pics - check out her blog.  http://mcnemarfamilyportrait.blogspot.com/2011/12/dodgeball-does-body-good.html



On to Christmas with Jason's family......we started a tradition a few years ago to do Christmas in our PJ's (genius right?!?).  Now if you know me well you KNOW that for me - I take everything to the next level - (some say I need medicine for such issues...but I think I am perfectly normal).  See the pictures below and you will understand....hahahhahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


























Yes those would be HOMEMADE coordinating PJ's - see I am NORMAL!  What I love about life is the celebration - you SHOULD make every gathering, everyday, every birthday special - EVERY!!, you don't know how many life will give you.

Santa even made an appearance...


Oh...just in case you were wondering - we did win best Family PJ's -

Holding the Prize!

Carson was in LOVE with this girl, Alex, wouldn't leave her - think I found a backup babysitter!

Tonight was Jason's Christmas for his part time job at Eleet  - this company is so special to us. The owners are GREAT people, Jason was sad to leave there 5 years ago when he got the job at the sheriff's department - and they were exceptional to us when Jay was diagnosed with cancer. Not many employers would be so giving after their employee left.....blessed to have such great people in our lives. I must admit how much I have MISSED this Christmas party - they always do the funnest games for gifts. It usually turned into a "friendly" competition between myself and the "BOSS". LOL

Today was my work Christmas luncheon - and basket raffle. I won...I won...I won....
I won a basket that has $150 in scratch off tickets...I have only scratched 5 so far and no winners yet. I am waiting to do the rest with Jay when he gets home from work. I hope I win BIG.

Spent my evening doing some last minute errands for Christmas and made buckeyes for family and co-workers. Christmas is just days away and I have so much to do!!!

December Daily - Bonus

I promised I would share my Christmas cards that Jay and I made together - yes he is as crafty as me....maybe more..hahaha.

Since I have the greatest photographer Brandi Williamson Photography, creating cards around the photos was a piece of cake!  I must admit I often get wallets and never seem to get them out to family. I also don't care for the photo cards because I often find myself throwing them out after the holidays which I hate to do but I never know where I should keep them (though this will no longer be a problem since I will be starting Project Life).  I loved the idea that my family and friends could pop off the wallet picture and keep it on the fridge or where ever after the holidays are over.

This one was my absolute favorite. I love how the picture was just tucked into the sleigh....see next pictures.

We are so lucky to have a great babysitter.  Who would have thought that a friend growing up would come back into my life and play a key role in my family and my sanity!  

(Sorry to say but this is a another reason why facebook can be a good thing - moderation is the key.)

Tonight Jessica gave the boys their Christmas gifts (sweet, right, we love her).  Carson is totally obsessed with Toy story right now - he was so excited to see "Woody" pj's in his bag - and then a matching pair for his brother!  Jessica told me that he even hugged her, he was so happy (melt my heart).

• You can raise your eyebrow just like mommy and Carson
• You are easy going like your daddy
• The way you laugh especially at your brother
• The way you take a deep breath and then snort

Birdie and Pa took Carson tonight for a few hours....she has been filling in on a bowling league and tonight they had a Christmas gathering. First time for Carson at a bowling alley - when he came home he exclaimed - "momma heavy balls"...LOL.

I am feeling the pressure of the few days remaining until Christmas.  I have a few dozen things to do - and a full week of work. I have no idea how it will all get done...but it will....right...it always does....
I admire all of you out there baking dozens and dozens of cookies - but time didn't allow for it this year and I must admit a 2 year old and very needy 6 month old will not allow for it either. Carson does his best to help but if any chocolate or candy is involved he wants to EAT it not bake with it. We did manage to make one batch, which is all we need to ensure Santa gets a treat when he makes a stop at our house.

Yes...Cooper is naked - we were about to do bath time...

Grammie and Pa had Carson over to decorate his first gingerbread house.
