So...here is my first blog ever...well, actually my second. I tried this earlier today and I accidentally deleted it and I was to cranky to try again at that particular moment, so I took a little break and I'm trying again.
So we spent Christmas down in K-falls with my parents, my brother, and his fiance Tiffany. We had a great time. We ate and ate and ate :) it was wonderful. I got the privilege of watching tiff try on wedding dresses and I know what her dress looks like :) (don't worry, I won't tell anyone)
I got to see some of my old friends from high school and it was really great to catch up with them and see what they are up to. It does make me feel a little bit OLD when we get together and realize that people we babysat are now graduating from high school and stuff. That's the not so fun part. ;0
Christmas was really fun this year. I mean it's great every year but it seemed especially event full this year for a few reasons. 1~ Our power was out for the entire week leading up to Christmas due to a severe storm up in this area. Because of that we stayed with friends for 6 of the 7 nights we were without lights and heat. It was a little exhausting packing up our stuff and keeping track of it and trying to get the girls to settle down in a different place, but we had so much fun with our friends that we stayed with that it seemed a little like a vacation. (Until we went home and found that our fridge had melted out onto our kitchen floor) :) We are so thankful for those friends who took us in and put up with the craziness of it all.
So do to the Power outage I was unable to bake my normal supply of Christmas goodies :( There is always next year.
Makayla had a really great time with Christmas. I think she was a little confused though. She didn't understand why she didn't receive a gift at every house we visited during the Christmas season. I think she thought, Hey, they have a tree....there should be a present for me under there then. It's hard to explain the workings of Christmas gifts to a 4 year old. Makaylawas very sad when we undecorated the house, (well, sad for like a minute) :)
That's pretty much our Christmas experience. Not the most thrilling blog in the world, but I'm still learning. Some more sleep and a little more adventure and this will be up and running ;)
God bless ~ Good Day~ Love the Vick Family

Yeah for the Vicks! I'm so glad that you've started your blog and I look forward to updates and pictures and all of that fun stuff. I'm telling you, its adictive! I try to post once or twice a week, but find myself "writing posts" in my head while I'm walking around Greenwich, shopping at ASDA (owned by Walmart, ha!), or riding the train! Soon you'll be doing it too! :)
check it out. I'm a post-a-holic :) this is so fun, a little time consuming, but I'm glad you introduced us to the concept. I'm going to have to teach dj how to keep up on this too so that I'm not the only contributor ;) love you two!
