Friday's Feast

Appetizer
How do you usually celebrate on New Year's Eve?

We usually celebrate New Year's Eve at home with the boys and have a safe fun night at home. I fix all their favorite appetizers (pizza rolls, mozzarellas sticks, hot wings, etc...) We play games all night. There have been times that we attend a watch night service at church.

Soup
Name one thing unexpected that happened to you in 2006.

Big D took me on a trip down the North Carolina coast to see Lighthouses!


Salad
Where was your favorite place that you visited in 2006?

Cape Hatteras! It has always been my favorite lighthouse. It was AMAZING seeing it in person!

Main Course
What resolution is your top priority for 2007?

My resolution every year is to lose weight and eat healthier!

Dessert
Using just three words, describe 2006.

Stressful, Exciting, Eventful

Warning!!

Today, Big D and I took Football Star for his road test to get his drivers license. I was nervous when Computer Geek took his, but I think I was twice as nervous today with Football Star. Not sure why? Could be because he is my baby? (yeah he HATES when I say that) While we waited for his turn, I did the nervous mom things, like "don't forget to come to a complete stop" "don't forget to check your mirrors", etc.... I know I was driving Football Star crazy, but I knew how important it was for him not to forget those things. Then it was his turn, and when he left, I got so nervous that my stomach was flipping! When he came back, it seemed a lifetime until Football Star and the lady tester (she is the one that is the toughest on the kids) got out of the car. She was showing him his score. Finally he steps out of the car and shakes his head as in he didn't pass, I look at him like "oh no!" Then he smiled, and I knew he had passed!!!! Football Star will be sporting around town in this little beauty...



..................................... '97 Ford Thunderbird!!!



So if you live in Tennessee or plan to visit, beware Football Star is out on the roads as a legal DRIVER!!! LOL!

Christmas

I have been very busy with everyone home for the holidays that I have not taken time to blog. We had a great Christmas! The boys got airsoft guns for Christmas. They are somewhat like paintball guns except without the mess. Today we set up a shooting area in the back of our property. Looks like a paintball shooting range. It was fun watching the boys maneuver to each station shooting each other.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Within the next few days, I will be setting up my annual changes of my blog for the New Year!

Until next time.....

Monday Memory

Since I have been wrapping presents for the boys today, I thought I might share with you a Christmas memory. If you know me well, you know I NEVER peek at my Christmas presents. Even growing up, I wasn't into sneaking around finding out what my Christmas presents were. EXCEPT.........
This one year when I was about 14-15 years old. Atari just came out and I wanted it so bad. My mom and dad kept telling me that it was way too much money to spend on a game. Now it wasn't like they wouldn't spend that much money on me anyway. I told them it was the ONLY thing I wanted for Christmas. They had me so convinced I wasn't gonna get it. So one day when they weren't around, I went into the entry room next to our living room and dug through the packages. I carefully opened what I would be the size of box an Atari came in and to my surprise there it was!! But instead of being so excited about getting what I wanted, I had such guilt that it ruined it for me. Of course, when I opened it on Christmas, I acted surprised and I was truly thrilled, but it ruined the anticipation and excitement of Christmas for me! I swore to myself that day I would NEVER do that again! And to this day, nearly 25 years later, I have NEVER peeked at a Christmas present!! LOL!

Until next time.....

Shop til I drop!

Well I am off to go see just how much of Big D's Christmas bonus I can spend!! For the last 13 years, we usually go shopping the weekend he gets his bonus. So we are leaving in a little while to do our Christmas shopping!! I can't share my shopping list just in case the boys decide to see if Mom blogs about it! LOL! Maybe the crowds wont be too bad this weekend. But it is sure gonna be cold!! Do you have a certain time of the season to shop? Are you one of those that shop all year round?? Or are you a mad dasher???

Hope all of you have a nice weekend!!!

Until next time.....

God Bless~
