Jake and I on Christmas.

Our Christmas Break was pretty packed... lets see if I can remember it all!

We came down on the Sunday before Christmas and spent that time with the kids. The next day I went to my grandmas to learn how to make the famous noodles. Making noodles is like a week long proccess. That day was saddened by the news of Jake's grandmas passing away.

On Wednesday I took the kids up to Aunt Debbies for lunch. The food there is always amazing!

On Christmas morning we went to my mom's and let the kids open presents. My mom got me a new digital camera that is really neat.

Ok. Jake and I told each other we weren't giving each other presents. We had seven neices and nephews to buy for and few over gifts. Well.... Jake surprised me! He got a me an ipod nano that is so awesome! You can watch movies on it and play games. Thanks sweetie! Oh, if you're wondering if I got him something?? That answer is .... no... oops!

After mom's we drove down to Ardmore for Dad's side. We ate and watched the kids play.

On Christmas night we drove down to Broken bow for the funeral.

After the funeral we drove to Stratford for a Christmas Party and the Milligans. It was a lot of fun. We played dirty santa and partini. Someone needs to explain the rules of dirty santa to Jake because he is still a little confused. You don't trade gifts with your wife! Anyways, it was a fun night. It was nice to see Tim and Lan. Just like old times.

The next night I went to Norman with the girls to watch Marley and Me. Jake went to Buffalo Wild Wings with the night.

Yes, there is more! The next night we went to Chickasa (spelling?) for Jake's family's Christmas. There were 6 kids there. It was kinda crazy. We played dirty santa and Jake and I ended up with two almost identical digital clocks. When we left, we went to see the lights. It was nice just spending time with Jake.

On the next Tuesday I went shopping with my friend Paige. We left at 10a.m. and got back around 6 or 7p.m. That was a long day of shopping!

On New Year's eve we went to the annual party with our friends. We played one of my favorite games "Catchphrase." And Jake won the NCAA 08 football tournament for the second time in the row. You'll see him pictured above with the golden controller.

On Thursday we went home... I was pretty sad and still am... The next few months will be hard, so I pray they fly by.
