Good Friday Morning and Merry Christmas!!!

Yes, it is Christmas!!! By about 5 minutes...lol I want to thank all the Secret Santas for not blowing their person off this year. We had a small, but awesome group. I had a lot of fun putting it together.

How did you spend Christmas Eve?? Whatcha up to today?? How are you spending Christmas Day??

Christmas Eve service was wonderful. We had a full house. After the service there was a wedding and a voe renewal. It was sweet.

Today is Christmas Day service and then coming home and putting the ham in the oven. My mom is coming up about 2:00 for dinner.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a wonderfully blessed day no matter what your beliefs are.

Good Morning All........

Katt, thank you for taking the time and putting the Secret Santa together. I had lots of fun and I wanted to thank you for the first aid kit. I love it and I will put in the car this morning.

I am off to work this morning, with high hopes of its being slow and me getting to go home early. My family is getting together around 5, so it would be neat to get to home early.

This morning I am sleepy, I didn't get home until LATE last night, it was after midnight and then another  few hours before I went to sleep. Then the alarm screamed at me around 5 t get my butt out of bed. UGH!!! So 12hours just seems so long.

I would like to ask you all to keep DD in your thoughts today. Wish her well and out of the hospital

Merry Christmas morning Katt and Cali friends,

Katt, thank you for putting the Secret Santa together, it was fun and it was an awesome group.

We spent Christmas Eve with our neighbors and went to a living nativity service and then sat around playing games until about 10.  I prepared all of Christmas dinner except for cooking the turkey which I will do today.

Today, we're going to visit with Ron's Dad and then come home and do our gift exchanging and have a lovely dinner together.

Here's wishing you all a fantastic day with family and friends.

Hugs,
Barb

Good morning and Merry Christmas Kat and Cali Peoples

WOO HOO it is Xmas morning and I am torturing the wife. I wont let her or the enemey in law open any gifts until the family gets up here from San Diego....... She is going nuts

Today will be spent with the family as it should be. This is the first Christmas after weight loss surgery and so far everything is working good. Already made the SF Pumpkin Pies (thanks again Steph) and will have a healthy Xmas dinner.

So Merry Christmas everyone and lets all reflect back to all our acomplishments after our surgeries. And to those that are waiting to have theirs, may the upcoming year be very successful and remember we are all here for you.

Have a wonderful day everyone.............Rick

Never done this before but lovely Leisa and I are spending the day at the movies. Going to see "Nine" and "Avatar".

Rhonda, still waiting for those designer bag details...

Happy Holidays everybody.

Merry Christmas Everyone,

I hope everyone is enjoying there day with family. I am at work and so far it is a quiet morning. I am hoping it stays that way.  The hospital is kinda empty, so that helps. It was a good day yesterday, we had fun chatting and eating way to much. It will be nice when all of the food stops coming in. One of the girls made all these sweets and brought them in for us today. We are getting lunch today,and I brought in coffee. So I think we are good. Well, I guess I should run and pretend to work.

Hugs Eileen

Well.. Merry Christmas all!    Katt.. I wish I could have participated in the secret santa, but 1 I was gone for a bit, 2. I was completely broke this year and 3. Im really trying to have the spirit of christmas but its been hard this year.  However, next year I plan to be back to my normal fun, spirited holiday queen diva and I look forward to it :)

Spending Christmas today with my Mom and Sister and bro-inlaw.  Last night we were at my brothers and I had fun playing rock band with my nephew and holding and feeding my 2 month old neice. 

Im blessed with great supportive family and friends and I have a lot to be happy about, especially my ever improving health.

Merry Christmas to all of you! 

Big Hugs and enjoy your family and friends!

We went to our friends for dinner and opening presents last night.  We have a $5 spending limit for each other.  My friend always makes a big pot of beef stew.  I took my own food, as beef does not sit well on the pouch.  We had a lot of fun.

This morning my family came to open presents and have breakfast.  My youngest son's girlfriend is here too.  (May be getting serious!)  We have had a wonderful morning.  I am going to cook a turkey breast for dinner and a couple of side dishes.  We are going to keep it light.  My son and DIL will be at DIL's parents this afternoon.  My grandkids had fun opening their presents.  The baby enjoyed the bows.  

I hope everyone has a great day! 

Good Morning and Merry Christmas Everyone (well, it's really afternoon now)

I will be sure to participate in next year's secret santa.  Too many cutbacks this year so I will start to plan now and sock away a little extra cash so I CAN participate.   Seems like everyone really enjoyed their gifts and the revealing of their Santas.

Hubby & I went to Christmas Eve service last night.  Both kids were working but when when they got here along with my sons girlfriend we sat and watched Jingle, Jingle all the Way.  Then we stayed up and played the Jerry Seinfield "Scene It" game and talked til 3 am.  I was up at 6 am to heat the menudo.

We have opened our gifts and WOW, my husband and I were very blessed this year with the thoughtful gifts from our kids and my sons girlfriend.  Next year I can display my very first Christmas Village.  I have always wanted to do this.

Time to get busy cooking.  Need to get my prime rib in the oven so we have dinner in a few hours and then we will be playing Mad Gab watching the football game.

Peace and Blessings to you all on this Glorious Day.

Merry Christmas Katt and Cali Crew!!!

Thank you again Katt for putting together Secret Santa! It was wonderful! I had a ball!

Last night we all gathered at my sister's house, there was about 30 immediate family (just my mom and my sisters and brothers and their kids, sure do miss my dad.). We had a blast! Don't know how many trees we killed with all the christmas paper, lol. I try to stay away from the stuff, I really suck at wrapping.

Today, I had to come home for a couple of hours, then its back down to my mom's for dinner. Tomorrow is my mom's family's huge gathering in Huntington Beach. I will see my once a year extended family. They are having a contest for best dish, I am taking the TACO SOUP!! Winner recieves a $50 gift card!

I hope everybody has a wonderful weekend and enjoys their vacations! I won't be back on until Monday.

Huge hugs all around!
