Today was fun, I got up with a bit of a fever not as much as yesterday, but I was not achy. We did the presents, Eric was not as excited as we were when he got his game chair, but he really does love it. I have to remind myself even though he is my little boy he is 22, so the jumping up and down in excitement is probably over, but he did make sure that everyone went and checked out his chair.
Jeff loved his new Mossy Oak seat covers and steering wheel cover that the girls and Toby got him, he did jump up and down in excitement so maybe not all is lost with Eric…ha! just kidding, but he did go right outside and put them in the truck. Jeff got me this beautiful Tiffany style desk lamp with a dragon fly on it. We usually don't exchange gifts because we really have all we need, so this year was fun, that we both did it. Toby got a new toy and has already managed to chew off the tail. When I got Toby the toy I was also shopping for more doggie diapers and instead I found a male wrap, and that is an amazing little thing with velcro, that just covers the "leaker" I just put that on him (he doesn't particularly like it) and now he could hang out with everyone all day, and we didn't have to worry about any excitement pee.
Jeff's brother Tim, and his sister Patty, her hubby Bob, daughter Emma and mother in law Virginia came over I took a nap before everyone got here and other then sneezing and being full of snot…ha..ugh…I felt fine. We had tons of food, and actually we timed it perfectly by the time Patty got here we were ready to eat.
I wanted to show this beautiful card I got from Penny Mull, I love how she did the sky and how she did the shadow on the snow. I remember treking up the hill as a kid, the snow crunching under my feet with that plastic sled and zipping down the hill. Such fun, but sure glad we don't have to mess with snow now.
Stamp sets used in the card are: Lovely as a Tree, Welcome Christmas & Branch Out.
A few people asked what sets that Tracy's card used the other day and that was A Wish for Peace and I am not sure about the sleigh one cause it is retired.
Ok so you all know that my favorite band is Ryan Shupe & the RubberBand, I have a little crush on Craig Miner, he plays the banjo (as well as other instruments), here is a cute video of Ryan and Craig doing Zumba and it is so funny cause Craig just looks to be dancing, at least Ryan is doing the hand motions. At least I don't have to worry about them quitting their day jobs and teaching Zumba…ha! Enjoy…
I'm gonna sign off for now and go to bed early. I hope you all had a beautiful Christmas and if you are a fellow Canadian have a fun Boxing Day.
Love the video and it reminded me that I have never said 'thank you'. A year or so ago you mentioned Ryan Shupe a number of times so I had to pop over to ITunes and listen. I now have everything they have done on my iPod and they are one of my most listened to groups. Love them!
I am so glad you felt better yesterday, I was worried. Even though Roscoe gets uberexcited when people comes he doesn't pee everywhere. He does however jump on people and no matter what we do he won't stop. We were taught by his trainer to walk into him with our knees and he would stop. It is supposed to make him think we are invading his territory or something and he wouldn't do it anymore. Ha– he thinks it's a game and does it more. We have to see a pic of your new lamp. Santa brought me a camera (remember me asking about yours?) It is a Kodak EasyShare Z981. I have to read all about it to see what it does. I do know it takes better pics than the one I have. Take care of yourself and enjoy Boxing Day.
Carey and Roscoe
Toby is a nervous pee-er! Hope you're feeling better.
Love love love Zumba! Should give it a go sometime!
Looks like maybe Craig should do a bit more Zumba..he's got some love handles going on there!!!!
Luv ya

Di, thank you for posting my card–was I ever surprised when I saw it today! (Yeah, I am a little behind on my blog reading!) Hey, I hope you feel better really soon–I should have sent you a get well card instead, huh? :^) BTW, Michelle Zindorf gets the credit for the stamping design! :^)
