I'm Back!

Well, only temporary! I borrowed my sister's laptop again until she needs it back.  I will break down and buy a new computer after Christmas.  (that is, only if Santa doesn't bring me what I asked for!) 

This past weekend we had a get-together with Shane's highschool graduating class at JP's, which was alot of fun.  We missed his 5 & 10 yr reunion because of racing, so we were thankful they planned this one over the winter!  And speaking of racing (or lack thereof), I thought for a moment that Shane was in need of medical attention when he asked me the other day if he should quit racing.  His reason for asking was because every year when he gets laid off, he works damn near every day in the garage putzing on his cars, and this year he says he can't even stand to look at them!  I knew 2 days later that it was a short-lived thought as he planned a race trip to Arizona for mid January! :)

So back to what we've been doing.. the following day we had Christmas for my mom's side.  This was the first Christmas without Grandma, as she passed away 8 days prior :(  We've been doing a little snowmobiling (well, the boys have), and me and Braelyn have been shopping for Christmas gifts.  Which reminds me, I still haven't got her anything yet :/  I've sort-of (like big-time) been the grinch this year...I didn't put a single light up outside, or even mail out Christmas cards.  I did put up a tree, and that was the extent of my decorating this year.  But thank you to everyone who sent us such great Christmas Cards, and sorry I'm not sending one in return!

 And we have SMILES!!

 The Raider Shane fixed up.

 Just relaxin'

That's all for now, I better get going before the baby wakes up!  Yes, it's 10:08am and both my kids are still sleeping.  I hope I don't jynx it by saying that Braelyn is an excellent sleeper!  She's out around 9pm, and well, today (& most days) is still sleeping past 10am.  She did get up to eat at 3:30am.  But I'm very fortunate for the sleep I do get!!  Mason on the other hand, I don't know why he sleeps so much.  He doesn't take a nap anymore so maybe 12 hours of sleep in the night is normal.  Some days (most days) I wish I could sleep in as long as they do!!
