This is my niece, Savannah and Brandon before we started opening presents. It is about 11am- looks like they just got up, huh?
I know, I've been mia again. It has been an interesting, but altogether nice, Christmas. Started on Friday night when Savannah and I went to the Men's Shelter in downtown Charlotte to prepare and serve dinner with 6 others from my Sunday School class. Saturday found me kicking the eldest out of the house for stealing and lying; then taking a nap and going to my mom's for Christmas with the extended family. Sunday was relaxed and easy- opening presents, easy dinner of ham and baked potatoes. And I've been off for the past two days so I have a lot of things put away already. Not the outside lights though. Was going to do that today but it rained. So I guess they'll stay out until at least the weekend! Have some presents to mail tomorrow, but they're boxed and ready!
Nice!
ReplyDeleteSay what? That does not sound good at all.
ReplyDeleteThey look like they're having fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the village.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Jan. It was a real pleasure looking at all your Christmas pictures. Your mum looks nice. That's where you get it from. I couldn't really understand who you kicked out. I'm guessing it was someone from the Men's Shelter ? We were missing you in Multiply and I had the chance at Christmas to spend a lot of time online, reading and commenting. Will you go to mum's on New Year's Eve or stay at home ? Take care Jan and talk to you later
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad. The same happens to me a lot.
ReplyDeleteLeftovers are good!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have done that!
ReplyDeletePretty!!!
ReplyDeleteYour brother is quite handsome! He reminds me of an uncle I loved dearly when I was a little girl.
ReplyDeleteD'awwwwwww! I love moments like that on Christmas!
ReplyDeleteLotion rocks! Especially this time of year!
ReplyDelete*leaves puppy treats*
ReplyDeleteYou are blessed my friend with a beautiful family. (-:
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill. They're two of my favorite people. My niece actually spends two nights a week with me. She's "mommyless" and has to come over and get pampered. Plus, I take her to church with me.
ReplyDeleteLong story, but basically I found something in his truck that we've been looking for for months. And it is broken. Confronted him about it, he denied taking it, then later admitted breaking it, but took no blame in the whole thing and he ended up cursing and throwing things and calling us all vile names... so I told him to get out.
ReplyDeleteThey are- they're best friends!
ReplyDeleteI realized today that I haven't even been on the computer since Friday! Maybe a touch on my phone but not the laptop. I kicked the oldest son out of the house- see the comment above.
ReplyDeleteLike my reindeer shirt though? The nose lights up!
ReplyDeleteThanks- eyes closed again! I have this thing where I blink every time the flash goes off!
ReplyDeleteThanks- he's single if you know anyone who is looking!
ReplyDeleteI love surprising them when they have no idea. She had no idea! I told her we didn't have an upgrade and I wasn't buying her a $700 phone! We used mom's upgrade and it was only $200!
ReplyDeleteShe likes belly rubs, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg! They're not perfect but we do all have a lot of love to share!
ReplyDeleteThanks doc!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking at all the pics and thinking "nice" "sweet" "cute" but didn't leave a comment until I get to the dog. I'm sick...HAHAHa I love this dog!
ReplyDeletethey look alike!
ReplyDeleteNow that's cool. I wants me one, too.
ReplyDeleteYou know I posted this pic just for you! She is a very lovable dog.
ReplyDeleteVery much so!
ReplyDeleteI love all the silly Christmas clothes. I have a shirt that looks like Santa's outfit, too!
ReplyDeleteNice picture!! You are looking great!!
ReplyDeleteNow that is one great looking smile!!! What a great picture!!
ReplyDeleteWe all need our puppies!! And every puppy needs treats!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks- put on about 10 lbs this year that needs to GO! Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI love my mom- she doesn't look 73 does she?
ReplyDeleteI'll take your word for that!
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteNot at all and that doesn't look like hand lotion! ;]
ReplyDeleteCute dog!
ReplyDeleteIt is- Bath and Body Works. My favorite!
ReplyDeleteI love Roxy. She's a very smart dog, too. I have to be careful or she'll have me trained!
ReplyDeleteThat's a bloomin' big tube then!
ReplyDeleteThat's how we do it in America- bigger is better, ya know!
ReplyDeleteWant me to mail you some?
LOL no thanks.
ReplyDeleteI got hand cream for my gran and it was only something like 100ml maybe 200ml but nothing that size!
No wonder Moms smiling.
This is 236ml (8 oz) so it isn't that much bigger!
ReplyDeleteOh no I must have got it wrong lol, it must have been 75ml then. it was a tiny bottle. It'd fit in the palm of my hand!
ReplyDeleteSadly, all the single women I know I wouldn't introduce to anyone that I actually like as my friend or their relations. :/
ReplyDeleteThat's an AWESOME deal!
ReplyDeleteHe reminds me of my favorite uncle as well. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, Janeen, though I was sorry to read about your Saturday goings-on. :(
ReplyDeleteIt has turned out well. He keeps asking when he can come home. I have told him it will be at least 6 months before we even talk about it. I know it sounds a little overboard, but this is the straw that broke it all... other things like this have been going on for awhile. I finally said "no more second chances." It doesn't hurt that Savannah says "moooooom, you're not thinking of letting him come back, are you? No!"
ReplyDeleteSad, but good for you for standing up for yourself and what's right!
