Another few days of 2005!! 2006 will be an EXCITING YEAR!!!
Baby M will be born soon. Here's what Brooks belly looks like:
We put a little baby on top...she's got her own TV tray! hahaha
Seth's in town...the boys kept me up last night. They were watching TV and laughing really loud. I couldn't sleep, by the time I fell asleep it was already time to go to work. I was a ZOMBIE all day. This evening, Seth gave Eric and I our first body adjustment. Seth is a license chiropractor in Nebraska. My head never felt better! It helped with my sinuses. AND he said my pelvis was all out of WHACK...worse than Erics. He's adjusted it! Thanks! I feel better now.

Just got back from another wonderful christmas in Nebraska!!! It was 60 degree practically all weekend long! The warmest Christmas I ever had, I think! And enjoyed a wonderful time with the whole family.
Departed for Lincoln, NE on Thursday at 7:30 a.m. with our winter coats on. Arrived at the Mall in Lincoln, N.E. at 3 p.m. with no jacket on. Can you believe it?? It was 60 degrees!! After the mall, Eric and I went to Grandpa and Grandma's to have some chicken with Chris & Brook. It was a lovely evening! Then met up with the locals at O'Rourke's later that evening.
Friday, Chris & Anna's Birthday ...Dinner at Grammy's with Chip's side of the family.
Saturday, Christmas Eve afternoon had Christmas lunch with Linda's family. Exchanged gifts and had a wonderful afternoon which also included a beautiful ceremony. Grandpa was baptized, performed by Aunt Cheryl.
That evening ...slumber party with Linda, Chip, Chris & Brook. Watched "Fever Pitch" and "March of the Penguins." Both very good movies.
Christmas Morning!! OPEN GIFTS!! YEA! THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN!! Thank You, LINDA & CHIP!!! For the wonderful gifts!!! I forgot to take a picture of the Christmas Plates I got!!! They are so beautiful. We left them behind until Eric and I have a beautiful house to put them in. And I got a lot of WONDERFUL Ornaments to put on our tree next year! It will be a tree full of LOVE!
Bride & Groom and others from Aunt Cheryl
The Wizard of Oz set, Santa & others from Chip & Linda
S' mores from Texas & Lovebirds from Ann & Wally

After the wonderful PRESENT FESTIVITIES...Eric and I made Christmas Breakfast...Eggs Benedict & Hash Browns. Umm.. yea, that was good!!
After breakfast we took off into the basement and watched the greatest sports video ever ...White Sox World Series 2005
Later that evening...dinner with Chip's family. Another great evening with the family.
It was a Christmas worth waiting for!!!
I'd like to thank, Chip & Linda for having us over for Christmas again this year. With all our wonderful things...we would like them all to come for Christmas next year so we can make dinner!! Thanks for everything!

It was such a great treat! Thank You, Chip & Linda! Again, you've done so much for us! How can we ever repay you!?
So, this musical .. NOTHING LIKE THE BOOK!!! NOTHING AT ALL!! But I did enjoy the book. Nothing like the Book! I'm telling you. I think if you read the book you'll enjoy them both. There are some surprises!

What a wonderful EVENING!!! Eric and I met Linda and Chip at Gibson's and I saw my childhood friend, Voula! It's been a while! I was so excited to see her!
Then we met up with my parents at the Signature Room where we saw another friend, Caren! She gave us all complimentary champagne to celebrate our engagement! My mom and dad enjoyed themselves. My dad was so HAPPY because thats the first time he's ever been in the John Hancock Building in the 30 years he's lived in the US. It was a great evening! Thanks Chip and Linda for a wonderful evening!

Watched APPRENTICE last night!!! I HATED IT!!! I can't believe what a jerk that Randal guy turned out to be. Everything he told Rebecca was all BS!! Everything nice thing he said BS!! He had a chance to prove himself WORTHY! I don't believe he would last with Donald Trump being so conniving. Rebecca truly should have gotten that other job. Donald Trump give her the chance!!! Like he's going to read this!

CHRISTMAS WISH LIST!
I know what I really want, SANTA!
NEW TIRES FOR MY CAR AND A CAR STARTER!!! YEA! These winter days are getting cold!
What a wonderful evening!! I attended Eric's (NEW) work Christmas Party for the Kids. They did some wonderful performances. There were kids there from Honduras, Mexico, China, Morocco, India, Romania and I can't think of the other countries. Some of them can understand English, some of them cannot. But they worked really hard in singing their English songs and it was wonderful to hear. Those kids have wonderful people caring for them and a great cook!! Those kids eat better than me!!! It was an international fest.
