February Love :)

A little love to bring in Feb!

We love love love our nephew T.J.!!!!!!!!

Holidays were great!

We had a fabulous Christmas and New Year. Mike's Family came in from Utah and New York. We all squished into our little two bedroom apartment, it was very cozy. We really didn't go anywhere just sat around watched movies and most importantly played with our nephew T.J. He is now a year old and still the cutest little boy ever. It was fun to watch him open up gifts, stare at the paper and then really get into the toys. Mike and I wanted to get him something special for his 1st birthday/Christmas gift so we bought him a toy chest at a local craft store. Mike stained it and we put the word toys on the front with a few decorations. We hope that he will make many memories of his special chest from his Uncle and Aunt. What a great holiday. We can't wait for next year, we are planning to be in Utah next Christmas. Mike's sister is also hoping to go to Utah but it might be a little tricky because she now pregnant, due in early July with TWINS! We are thrilled to be an Aunt & Uncle to 3. More kids to spoil! We know that this year will be one to remember. Hope you all had a happy holiday and a great start to 2009.

Plasma Update.....

Well here are the pics! It has been on the wall since late November. I have figured out why I am so terrible at blogging.... I spend all my time reading your blogs and then by the time I am done I have no energy to blog. So I think I will blog first and then read your blog. Does that make sense or am I rambling... :)

Welcome Winter

Well I guess it is fitting that tomorrow is winter solstice because here in CT we got a good storm. School was cancelled and it wasn't even snowing yet. I think it is so funny! In Utah we never got a snow day.... and here they cancel school because they think it is going to snow. So silly! Anyway here are the pics of the snow we got. Hope all of your holidays are merry!

Before After

Some fun in the snow!

Plasma

Mike and I put up our Christmas tree a few days ago and it looks so nice. I just like sitting there looking at all the ornaments we have collected. Meanwhile while I'm adoring the tree my beloved husband is absorbed by his newest "toy" plasma T.V. Need I say more? We have been looking to buy a flat screen for the past two years and about a month ago we finally gave in. It is very nice and we are happy with our purchase. I don't really get to watch a lot of T.V. in the living room anymore because there is always some sporting event that he needs to see in "HD" :) It's okay with me it is nice to see Mike so happy.

Another part of this story is that we are waiting to have the T.V. mounted on the wall. We had the mirror removed from above our fireplace they patched it up and Mike sanded and painted the wall. After all that he put up the wall mount. The last step was to take the base stand off. He removed all but one of the screws from the base stand. The last screw is stuck in the T.V. We could not get it out. So I called the support services and they said they would call back in 2 days and then have someone come out and look at it in another few days. It really stinks.

So now that beautiful T.V. is sitting in front of the fireplace anxiously awaiting its true home up on the wall.

I hope that before Christmas I will be able to post some pics of that darn T.V. up on the wall!
