WHEW! Christmas is behind us and my behind is, well, behind me more! The Sweets this year have about done me in! It was a total blast making goodies with Lila this year since she was able to do more, but I can't take it anymore. I threw out nearly a dozen cookies, fudge, etc that I know we just will not eat! Sorry poor starving kids in China.
On another note, this Christmas was great fun. Lila has officially entered tween-dom. Her Christmas list was a veritable mixed bag of wishes....iPod (purple none the less), lap top, iPhone, iPod touch, Wii games, Barbie I Design cards for the I design set she was supposed to get for Christmas this year but Dad thought it was forgotten from last year and gave it to her before Halloween, hotwheels, lip gloss and hair clips. Yep, welcome to the wonder world of the TWEEN!
Lila got most of what she wanted, even the purple iPod! She's worth it, too. It was great to see her face light up and her jump up and down with excitement over getting the one big thing on her list.
The other fun thing was the three of us jamming out to Rock Band. My hubby is pretty hot ripping a shred on the guitar!
The only thing that would have made this year's Christmas better would have been if Mom and Ken could have driven up. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate and they, having lived in Florida for way too long, don't know how to drive in snow and on icy roads. Maybe next year.
It's been a good day today...no driveway to shovel. It's like it's springtime with everything melting. But, it won't last for long and snow will return. Better practice my mad drum skills to rcok the house!
Happy New Year!

Sounds like the Reeser household had a very Merry one! Love the pic of Lila! It's so cool to see that they can still get excited even at that loveable(?) tween age!!! HA HA! Great post and I dumped a ton of crap, too, so my apologies to all those starving kids in China and other locales.
Happy New Year!
