Brian kept busy doing all our Christmas shopping this year while I worked. He now officially knows more about Barbies than I do - which wasn't very hard. Kendal got her first Barbies for Christmas. She was pretty bummed about getting a "boy" doll. (She got a Ken doll too).
Bryce was excited about the Lego Star Wars that he got. He put this together all by himself. 
We had an early dinner on New Year's Eve. Becky brought cream puffs for dessert - which we pigged down.
Brian usually stays up late with me to keep me company while I work. But he has gotten into watching the Food Network (in HD). So he has become a very good cook. (He has cooked more than me lately). So he cooked some yummy shrimp (so he says) for our New Year's Eve dinner. We put the kids to bed early and I worked for half the night while Brian tried to save the world on Xbox. So that was our exciting New Year's Eve party.
The kids loved being out of school and hanging out together.
So...like I said, nothing new around here. Oh, we did get a new exercise machine. It's name is "HealthRider" we have nicknamed it the "HellRider".
