Wii

So a busy week we have had. It started last Friday night when I gave Caleb a deadline to finish Sassy's room by Sunday. We made a trip to Bloomington Friday night and got the desk stuff and the trim. I spent six hours Saturday painting until Caleb got home then we worked on trim and getting the desk in. Sunday Caleb made another trip to Bloomington to get a door. Amazingly all this stuff fit into my little car. Who needs a truck when you have a Saturn Ion! Needless to say we got the room done. I will post pictures when I get them from my stepdad. It is gorgeous and so girly.
Christmas came and went and the girls were pleased. We did the gold, frankincense, and myrrh gifts for each of them. Sassy's room was her gold gift. Jade got a video camera, and ZJ got playdoh. Santa also came and left one gift. ZJ's best gift was her bball hoop from Santa. We went to my grandma's for brunch. Then we drove to Rushville to see Caleb's grandma in the nursing home. She was so tickled to see all of us.
This morning Jade and I did our day-after-Christmas shopping. We didn't really find too many good deals, but Jade sure found a way to spend all her money. She had a blast. My grandparents, my dad, and Caleb's parents gave each of us a considerable amount of money. So she had quite a bit to spend, but she got the last bit of what she wanted. Caleb, Sassy, and I decided to pool some of our money together and buy a Wii. Yes we have come into 2008 now that it is almost over. Walmart in Lincoln did not have one so we had to drive to Bloomington to get it. We also decided to go ahead and buy Guitar Hero Aerosmith. That was for me I think! I can't wait to play that. We are bowling right now. How fun is it to bowl right in your own house.
We have had a good Christmas, and I feel truly blessed right now. We have enjoyed each other and our family time. This weekend we have our fights to watch and it is a big card, so it should be good. I think we are going to have some friends over and play some cards and play some Wii then watch the fights. It will be good. This is the first weekend that Caleb has had both Saturday and Sunday off and we don't have to work on a room in the house. I can't wait. I enjoy this time of year so much. I hope everyone else counts their blessings and remembers what life is really all about.
