Highlights (or lowlights) of the holidays thus far

I don't know about you all, but the holidays here are filled with lots of family, lots of eating, lots of cooking and lots of unexpectedness (if that's not a word, it should be!), in no particular order:

1. The 2 year old's first trip to the ER a couple of days before Xmas.  Looks like a possible food allergy, but he behaved like a champ!
2.  Broke and burned 5 (yes, F-I-V-E) wooden spoons in 1 (yes, O-N-E) day.
3.  Last minute Xmas shopping, always makes me stressful!
4. One 5 year old's bday party right after Xmas.  The theme was ducks, complete with a homemade 3-D duck cake
5.  An Xmas eve service fit for a funeral.
6.  Santa almost screwing up presents for BOTH boys, AGAIN!
7.  And, I almost forgot, the hot water heater went out Xmas night.  For almost 4 days!

Resolutions for 2011 (in no particular order):

1.  Get party decorations for 6 year old's bday party before Xmas (like by Thanksgiving!)
2.  Find another church for Xmas Eve service
3.Shop early for Xmas!!
4. Buy better wooden spoons!

Here's to a better 2011! Cheers!
