Christmas

wow it is almost christmas. We are almost done with all of the shopping. This is good for us, early! I'm very excited for the kids. Jordan sees the presents under the tree and everyday gets up and says can I open my presents now? It is so cute, I tell him NO and then he cries, he is very excited, really. Today Charlie is off work, and then hes also off tomorrow and then he works 3 more days and then he will be off work for a week, we love that, but Jessica and Jason will be at their Fathers house for that week also so that stinks.

The weather is super cold. It really feels like christmas time should feel, I think. We are all hoping for snow, but well see.

Now this blog is super hard to design. I just can't figure it all out. So Ash, throw some suggestions out there if you could. I have been trying to add a player, but can't figure that out either. Well I must get off here for now. Hope all is staying warm out there. Merry Christmas to All.

My wonderful Family

My brother Rick and his family

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with our family. The holidays take forever to get here and fly by to quickly. I didn't get to take enough pictures, but did get a few. We really love spending time with each and everyone of them. Thank you all so very much for the great time and new memories. We really had alot of laughs at Chris and Jenny's this year but then again when have we not had laughs.

Well Thanksgiving has now come and gone and now only 15 days till, Christmas. Not much time for shopping these days, my wonderful hubby don't get much time off. When he is off I don't really feel much like skipping off to the stores. I would if my wonderful shopping buddies lived closer. Rachel and Ashley! While we were up in St. Louis my sister in law took me to a fabulous shopping place called Value Village, I found jeans for my son. Yeah it may not sound so great but we are talking slim, slim jeans. Talk and linky. Thanks Jenny for taking me there.

Now Christmas, all the kids have made lists and they are so simple this year, but where is the time. It is so stinking cold that I just havent wanted to go shopping, cause of the baby. It was 27 degrees today at noon. That is cold. Our cold water was frozen this morning, thank goodness the pipe didn't burst.

I need ideas for other christmas gifts for family, but running out of time. We won't be going anywhere for Christmas this year, bummer, but we just ran out of vacation time, cause of the birth of the baby and the sick time chuck had to take for his leg being hurt. We are planning a wonderful feast though. We already bought the ham, yummy. More pie making, I love to bake. Charlie will be off work for a week. Well not sure I will be posting again before Christmas, but I will be able to post more often now becaue we have the internet once again. I love the new system we have so far it is the fastest we have. We have internet through our Cell phone company with a usb port and it works great. Well hope all is doing well and has the warmest and happiest holidays ever. Loads of Love from the Karich Family!!!!
