Wii boxing

Here is a cute picture of Emma boxing on the Wii. She kicks ass!

The day after Christmas

So, it's over. All the build up for Christmas and then just like that, it's done. I have to say we did really good this year. We didn't spend too much on gifts and everyone got everything they wanted. The big gift was the Wii and some games for it. We pretty much spent all day yesterday playing it. My arms, back, and shoulders are sore as shit from boxing with a computer guy named James. He kicked my ass 3 times before I got him. Kyle got Legend of Zelda and Emma got Super Mario. It's crazy to watch a kid that small navigate stuff like that. Oh, I also got the new camera that I'd been wanting, but a way better model than I had been expecting, with better zooming capabilities and things like that.
My sister and BIL were here this past weekend and we opened gift with them on Saturday. Then we had Christmas eve with Rob's family and spent Christmas day here. It was really warm, like 45 degrees yesterday and my mom and I took the kids sledding. Here are some pics with my new camera of Christmas present opening and sledding:

Damn, I really need a new camera

Emma had her Christmas program at preschool today and I took some really shitty photos. They had the program in the sanctuary which is notoriously dark, plus I had a bad seat, so I had to zoom. So here are some grainy, zoomed, mega red-eyed photos of Emma singing Christmas songs.;)

Christmas scrapbooking

We had our scrapbook group's Christmas party/crop yesterday. My secret Santa got me a bunch of stuff to do some basketball pages. Which is nice considering that both kids are playing basketball this year. I got all my pages completed and again, I'm caught up. ;) Guess I'll just have to be a little more camera happy for the holidays. Actually a new camera is on my list since my current one is 5 years old and in the digital world, that is ancient. At least they no longer cost $400 like they used to. Here are some pictures of some of the pages I did yesterday:

Santa x 2

I've got some kids with Santa pictures to post. The first one is of Emma and Kyle(who no longer believes in Santa and was really put out by having to pose with his sister) with one mall Santa and the second is Emma with from today with another mall Santa. Gee, can you tell which one was taken by a professional? I'll give you a hint, it's the one without the raging red eyes. ;)

Never trust a big butt and a smile

Ah, class of 1990. This one takes me back. ;)

Snow play

We got some snow today and here are some pics of the kids playing:

Dexter

I just got done watching season 1 of the Showtime show Dexter on DVD because, of course, we don't have Showtime. It was entertaining and he sure makes for an adorable serial killer. ;)
