Fun with the Fam (winter edition)

Holy cold and snow! Here in my neck of the woods we're in the thick of winter. Which means I'm wishing I had a smaller driveway. (actually I wish I had a snow blower....but I'm afraid the shovel would suffer depression) I'm a soft spoken fan of cold and snow, and of course the kids love it too.

I'm still punching the clock six days a week, so my sister brought her family by last weekend for some R&R and my world famous hamburgers. Fun times!

The two Dave's. I call him Nubbins.

The secrets in the pan!

The girls enjoying some home cooked goodness.

My accountant. (she also doubles as my wife)

I'll say one thing for working long hours...it sure makes you enjoy your off time a bit more. Things are going good on all fronts here. We're enjoying some winter and looking forward to some spring. There are some fun plans on the horizon....including Vegas and a Jimmy Buffet concert....so stay tuned!

(I promise to clean the camera lens before taking anymore pictures)

Change of Venue

While I still plan to post here about the family going-ons.....you can also find me HERE. (don't ask me why....)

Christmas Past

Christmas Eve brunch with mom

Christmas Eve dinner with dad

Happy New Year to all! The decorations got removed today...back to the basement until Thanksgiving passes next year. We had a great Christmas holiday with plenty of family and food. New Years was pretty uneventful....we went to bed at 11:50pm! That's too funny.

I don't have any predictions or resolutions. Just gonna take '11 one day at a time. My upcoming events include: One more family Christmas this coming Sunday. Habitat for Humanity the following Saturday. A check up with my audiologist. A trip to Sin City in March....and the annual fishing trip in April! Let the fun begin!!

Fat man in the chimney

Ho Ho holy cow! I've almost missed the entire month of December. Apparently my sister hasn't noticed because I haven't caught any crap about it yet. Well, disaster averted, because here I am. I wish I could say I've been too busy enjoying the holiday season to write. But the truth is I've been too busy working to do either of the above. Which beats the alternative, so I'm not complaining.

So...about two months ago my wife informed me that she wanted a toy box built for our son for Christmas. Which was fine by me, I've built two before, so I didn't give it much more thought. Until last Saturday. When I started on it. Oops. But I'm happy to report that the final coat of stain was just recently applied and all is well. Junior can now tear the hell out of it....and then some day I'll teach him how to fix it.

No pics for now....I'm off to moms in the morning for brunch. Then back home tomorrow afternoon for dads festivities. And then finally off again to the in-laws Christmas afternoon. I'm anticipating some great food, good laughter, and probably a few gifts that will need returning.

So here's ME wishing all of YOU a very Merry Christmas!
