birthday, christmas break and spewing drains

Last Sunday was Dakota's birthday party.  If you look close on the table you can read where my children had the event.  High class, those kids.  My husband's ex took my picture too...hopefully I won't be feeling any darts hitting my head anytime soon.  Just kidding everyone was very well behaved, even the Bears fans. 

It's now Christmas break in our house and to celebrate my plumbing backed up!  As my washer was spinning, water was shooting up the drain in the basement.  Fortunately it was from the washer not the potty!  A few bottles of professional strength drain cleaner, a few hundred plunges later we are back to flushing as normal.  Thankfully, we didn't have a plumber for Christmas.

Happy last minute shopping you all!

Rick just absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED your Christmas card. He took it from me and is going to keep it with his stuff. Those motorcycles made his day. You look so damn pretty in these pics! I think Hooters has crappy food but nice eye candy. LOL
I am glad all is well and you all had fun, even with the ex!
LOVE YOU SO,

Rose -

Merry Christmas to you and your family.  I hope you have a restful Holday break.  I'm sorry you're not going to go see your Dad.  But you do have Spring Break to look forward too...and that'll be here before you know it.  

Sounds like you don't have to work during the Break.  Lucky you.  I have a few Trips the week of Christmas and then I have a 3 day / 2 night "over nighter" trip the week of New Years.  No rest for me......I've been working 6 days a week for I don't know how long, goes back to Halloween I think....but the money will be very welcomed.  

I love the pictures....send more during the Holidays!!!!

Hugs,
Kathy G.

Father, I ask You to bless my friends, relatives and those that I care deeply for, who are reading this right now. Show them a new revelation of Your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence through Your grace. Where there is need, I ask you to fulfill their needs. Bless their homes, families, finances, their goings and their comings. In Jesus' precious name. Amen.

May the miracle of Christmas be in your heart this holiday season and may the New Year for all be peaceful! God bless you.
Love and hugs,
Jen
