I am sitting on the couch wrapped in a blanket willing it to be midnight so I can send the kids friends home and go to sleep. I'm sure their friends parents are already counting sheep. Lucky them.

Well, really, I don't mind the kids having friends over. It just seems harder this year to actually stay awake.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas. We have had a wonderful time just hanging out as a family. Dave has two weeks off and the idea of going no where sounds fantastic. We have been watching lots of movies and playing with our new toys.

This is a favorite.Paige has been playing with this everyday, definitely a huge hit.

I was thinking today about 2008. I love a new year because it seems like a wrapped package with lots of surprises inside to discover. I always pray my surprises are happy ones, but even the sad ones can be a blessing in disguise.

I hope to be able to visit you all in the next few days. My computer charger pooped out on me AGAIN and all of my favorites are stored on it. I am borrowing the kids computer right now to get my few minutes of bloggy time. Aren't they sweet to let me borrow the computer hubby and I bought for them? They truly are sweet and generous children.

Well, thats atleast what I keep telling myself as they stand over my should asking if I am done yet.

Happy 2008 my friends.
