Wow...I sure do feel better today! I was so sick over Christmas as well as my husband. We were in bed for 2 days. We are both feeling a better now. I am really glad that the stress of Christmas is over. My kids ended up having a fabulous Christmas. They both said that "it was the best Christmas they ever had!" I was relieved to hear that. My daughter made us...(me, Jon and Parker) one of those fleece blankets. She made it with her Grandma Jacquie...(sneaky little thing) I absolutely love it! It is so comfortable and she did such a great job on it. It must have taken her a long time to make 3 blankets. Parker made us one of those sun catchers that you hang in the window. Mine was a butterfly....really cute. I think the best thing of the day was when Kayla opened up her quilt that I made her...She really loved it. I am glad because it took me quite a while to make it and I was about ready to throw it out the window a couple times. It turned out nice I guess. I made a few mistakes on it but she can't tell and she told me that was her favorite gift...That made me feel good. I hope that she will cherish it always!! My mom has the kids for a couple days. Jon and I went out earlier to the store but we didn't really buy anything for ourselves. I wanted to spend my gift cards but there was not anything that I could find in the time that I was there. I think that I will be putting a little money with it and buying me a vcr or a new printer or something. Well I guess that is all...if anything interesting happens the rest of the day I will let you know...if not more perhaps tomorrow.
