Merry Christmas!!!

This year, with the girls gone for Christmas, we didn't get to celebrate together until this morning. But, Santa made a special trip to our house last night. When the girls woke up this morning, they found that Santa had left a very special surprise for them. Both girls got a bike from Santa. After opening presents at home, we went to my parent's house to have Christmas with the rest of the family. And we're taking home a car FULL of stuff!! My family is VERY giving!! At this point, the girls and I are all exhausted and very much in need of some relaxation! So, we're going to go home and enjoy the rest of this week together. I'm going to post some pics from Christmas on flickr.

Hope everyone had a WONDERFUL Christmas and has a very fun New Years!!

Love to all!!

They're gone.....

As of last night, both girls are gone for the holidays. They'll both come home on December 26th. So, of course, I'm a little sad. But I'm also glad that they'll be able to spend this Christmas with their dads and other family members. This will also give me a chance to get some things done around the house!! And, as tight as money has been lately, I haven't had a chance to do ANY Christmas shopping ~ so maybe I'll be able to do that this weekend. There's really not much that the girls need. So, it'll be interesting to see what Santa comes up with for them this year.

Kamri went to the dentist today in Houston. She had another tooth pulled. I had a really hard time with that knowing that I couldn't be there. But, Jason told me that she did wonderfully and that she's fine now. Still miss her and wish that I could give her a great big hug!!!

Anyhow, hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season. Lots of lights and festive decorations. So pretty. If I don't have a chance to post anything before the big day, I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and, of course, a happy and safe New Year!!

Love to all,
Melony : )

2006 Holiday Ball

My company had it's annual Christmas party this past Saturday at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine. It was SO awesome!!! That was seriously the biggest hotel I've ever been in!! We had wonderful entertainment, dinner, dancing, drinks, and a fun time was had by all!! I've posted a few more pictures on flickr.

Kamri is finally back home. She was only gone for 4 days but it seemed like a lot longer. I'm not used to her being away from me!! Ryann, on the other hand, has been with her dad for over 3 weeks now ~ and I can't WAIT for Sunday when I get to go pick her up! We've all missed her SO MUCH!!!! I'm ready for my family to be at home again!

As we all know, this is the season of peace, joy, love.......and stress!!! So, everyone please be careful when you're out shopping or traveling to visit family!! And enjoy the time that you have to spend with your friends and family.

Love to all!
