Yeah, I was really impressed by the dance moves. She has improved tremendously since we were there, although I'm a little dissappointed she doesn't do the little wing flip anymore. She was very entertaining to watch. lol. That's my Baddy.
I thought you'd all be so amazed by Addy's dance moves that you wouldn't realize she was on the desk. Yes, we have new rules in the house: no being on the computer desk, no remotes, no command starts and no cell phones!! So, we are getting better.....
Addy loved all her Xmas gifts. She has been very busy cooking hot dogs and pizza in her new kitchen for her cousins. She'll be entertained for hours!!
Take care,
K
PS Darin, we are in Med Hat for New Years weekend if you are off work. (Thurs Jan 1 - Sunday).
KIM-BER-LY A-N-N, you are so busted. I watched the video and wondered where she was.....dancin' on the computer desk, what's next, Hooters Bar? Good thing she's enrolled in gymnastics, a balancing act might be needed. She was quite entertaining though.
That makes it Boxing Day. We had a fun Xmas Day! Of course there was less action than usual. I would say that's cause only 3 extra people were here . Kim, Bill & Addy stayed in Regina and Connie & Gavin stayed in Houston (remember guys Christmas just isn't the same without snow). That's a hint for L & L to make sure they come to Canada for Xmas. Anyways with the exchange we decided on this year, I was lucky cause my gifts were here. Thanks Darin. I loved them all (and you to, of course). Got some other cool gifts....got a good gag gift....a book, can you believe it? I'll fill you in when I talk to you. Hooking up with Connie and Gavin also worked out great. (Missed you guys). Even with the small bunch, I cooked a turkey. And Kim if you would of been here, I wouldn't of forgot the cranberries sitting in the fridge....Lincoln tells me he missed them, however, failed to ask....guess he's not use to making himself at home. Lori must r-e-a-l-l-y spoil him. Anyways everyone is gone back to Calgary and we're back to our usual quite household. Lov you all, and hopefully next year we can all be together. XOXOXO.
For those who missed the usual xmas traditions around here.... here they are:
Leaving for church (ps, mom stayed awake thru the WHOLE service)
Xmas eve goodies:
Xmas light that Connie made and sent to Mom and Dad:
Dad opening his McDonalds meal from Dar. The "meal" was full of candies and McD's hockey cards:
Dar opening his gift from me. Which happens to be the same thing his roomate gave him... Dang.
Mom and her fluffy new slippers.... in her favorite color (she wanted me to add)
You have to ask Mom whats so funny about this gift:
Dars new shirt to help him at the bar. I think he'll probably wear this one all year round, not just at Xmas.
Innocent little angel... Noooot:
Linc and his guitar books (from me):
Huh, me, and.... soap... which you will all be getting a bottle of from Dad.... Thanks to Kim for not supplying any when Dad was visiting:
Oh... this is good... Guess what I'm wearing!?!? I forgot my bathing suit, and Mom pulled this one out from 1975!!! Just had this tucked away since her HONEYMOON!!! And, there is proof, we looked at her honeymoon photo album... and there it was! Hahah.
The real innocent little angel:
Family,
Even though we're miles away we're still thinking about you on Xmas day! We'll call you guys later, once we get our gifts opened and turkey ready to put in the oven......Have a Happy Christmas without us.......hope to see you soon!!!!!
Love,
Gavin, Connie and Sissy
AKA Lori slowed down and low and behold she's in an accident. I can't believe it!!! Guess she's just not accustomed to dodging things that AREN'T moving. HaHa. Just joking Lori. Glad to hear everything is OK. My biggest relief when I hear you were in a smash-up was you weren't on The Deerfoot.....then Dad tells me the other guy didn't have a chance, he wasn't moving.
Addyson and Mr. Claus are quite the combination. She looks so much like Kim at that age. She even has that question mark on her face. Almost like she's wondering who this clown in the red suit and beard really is. Bet she even noticed the double moustache.
Dang, I never thought of that. Sorry. Yeah, your car would have been a write off. Larry's estimate is 1500.00. Ooops. Anyway, I'll let you know next time I'm on the road. haha.
Well... Linc isn't going to let me keep this a secret... so.... I guess I'll fill you all in on what happened Friday. Its about time something exciting happened on this blog anyway. You can all thank my driving skills for that!
Ok, so as you all know, i'm a fantastic driver, and I've never been at fault for an accident in my life. Well, I suppose I can't say that anymore. Unless... maybe it doesn't count if its a PARKED car that I hit. I don't think that should really be classified as an accident... maybe just stupidity. ahahhaah. Anyway... you heard me right... I hit a parked car. Went to turn right and misjudged the back end. Took out the front end of a cavalier parked on the side of the road. Ooops... Tore the front bumper off. It and a bunch of wires/lights/etc were laying on the ground in front of the car.
Its kinda like when you slip on the ice, then you look around to see if you should be embarrassed. Well, yes... there were plenty of witnesses and I was plenty embarrassed. Ooops again. So, this is a little lesson to all of you on what NOT to do! Glad I could be the ginea pig. Apparently this beast of a van doesn't track quite the same as my truck. I guess I'm just not cut out for mini vans. too bad for me....
No damage to the brick house Lolita! She held up nicely. What a trooper! Turns out we'll be losing our 6* rating when we leave to Mexico anyway... so... insurance it is! Apparently if you aren't claiming any of your own damage, then you don't pay a deductible. Merry Christmas to me! Poor Larry though has to deal with getting his vehicle fixed during this busy time. Sorry Larry....
Ok... let me have it... I'm ready for the abuse! Maybe this will entice Gavin to finally log in and post something???
ps... I'm fine by the way. I was going about 5km's per hour!
Nurse doesn't have to come, we have plenty to keep everybody calm. I prefer Dad's. I am rather enjoying not stressing over Christmas. Oh, and by the way, you two are lucky I don't have your names cause I haven't done any shopping. I'm taking Lori's advice and waiting for Dec 24th. I'm just hoping I'm not scaring my children away.....gulp.....water sure helps when you take pills. HaHa. Do I have you wondering now???
Mom, is your nurse on holidays or something??? Did someone forget to give you your meds again? Maybe this week you should double the dose to make up for the last few days.....
cookoo lookoo....
hahha.
Connie, regift.....what a great idea...sure to be Dad's favorite. Dad didn't know I was giving it away....if I kept it in the freezer it would be in perfect shape. You must remember though this is from the Great White North and would contain much less environmental particulates per square inch....do you still want to give it up.
Since I have dads name for Xmas I guess I'll just regift it. Don't even bother shipping it to me. I bet the box would be soggy by the time it got here. Please just wrap it up and put a tag on it saying "To: Dad, Love: Connie".
Thanks.
Here's a few hints. It's light....it's white....it's fluffy....we have tons and tons of it here in Medicine Hat ( L & L, I believe you have even more of it) If you need anymore hints, well Connie if you don't come and collect it in time it will disappear. HaHa! lol. Had you going. But remember it's FREE.
Are you ready?
Connie and Gavin, it's yours. Sorry L & L, but you really don't need this, nor can you take it to Mexico.
I'm always interested in a deal, and I think the only way it'll get any better is if you pay me to take it.....
Okay, is anybody interested in somethng free? If you are, let me know and I'll tell you what it is!
Is anybody welcoming the Winter Wonderland? First blizzard of the season. Yeah, you can quit laughing C & G. Dad & I were suppose to go to Calgary but 40 miles out of town we decided it was too ugly and Calgary was getting the worse of the storm, so here we are back home.
We went to Regina last week. Had alot of fun with little Miss Addy. Yeah, she's little but she sure likes to shake her bootie. She's quite the comedian. You guys have to see her dance moves. She's got a whole little arm shake going on and a little dip on the legs. She's funny, she's hilarious, she's entertaining. Kim has to video it, you'll laugh your ...... off. Kim and Bill also had their Xmas Party while we were there. Their employees all came over for a good part of the evening, after going out for supper of course. I think maybe I was a bit of the entertainment there for a while. They had a WII and I got to play baseball. Ah, it was so much fun. The guys played some poker. The only bad part is I came back with the flu, so after 4 days off, I called in sick for an extra 2 days off.
L & L looks like Mexico is shaping up. The place looks fabulous. Can't wait until I get holidays. Houston for 2 weeks, Mexico for 2, Regina on days off and Darin of course we'll make it to Calgary also. HaHa! Time to sign off and watch the snow fall. Bye, bye.
Just to update you all on Kims life.....
They got a conditional offer on their place the other night! Whoohoo!!! Tis the season! Our turn next!!
Also, she says B-Addy is dancing and jumping these days.
Thats all I know about her.
Kim, u should send us some pics of your new place.... and Addy!
Constar, nice furniture!
Ps... its blizzarding here right now... and supposed to be -30ish this weekend. Bad weekend for Mom and Dad to be driving her for school. They're coming tomorrow.
Wowsers... its cold here. Nice dump of snow to come back to in Good Ol Calgary. Just another reminder of why I must leave... It got down to about 15 degrees in Playa in the evenings... Some winter. Our realtor said it does get a little cooler into Dec and Jan. That'll be when you have to come visit Dad. I think you'll enjoy the cooler evenings.
Oh Dad... update on the Astro van. The wipers quit completely the other day. Part at Canadain tire was 130 bucks.... At pick a part it was only 19!!! We replaced the wiper motor and that works like a dream too now! I think that will be the last of our repairs. Shes ready to hit the road!!
Bye bye... happy Xmas... its coming fast.
Thats our unit, second floor:
This is Dulce. We just found out today we haven't been pronouncing her name property. but she likes it. So glad she going to be on the same block as us. She nice. and she could possibly be our new animal sitter.... as she has a dog too.
Hola mi amigos.
Down in Playa now. Quick post to let u know we've been doing lots of property shopping. Looooots! Fell in love with another one today. Its called Akoya. Amazing windows, great space, gated community, nice view. couple pics below.
constar, i'll be going wherever we have xmas. i think thats the hat... but maybe regina. dunno.
heres da condo: lemme know what u think
Not too much new around here......just posting for the heck of it!
Lor, good to hear things are going well South of my border. Hope you're enjoying the weather.
Yesterday was cold here...but today warmed up. Tomorrow gonna be chilly again. Its kind of annoying we have to keep changing the thermostat, heat, air, off, heat, air, off. Some nights it gets pretty chilly...and others not at all!
What is everyone doing for Xmas? Where is everyone gonna be? I'll be here. Gav's parents are rolling in I think on the 20th (the day after the Tesco Xmas party). They'll be here for a week....we're going to the NFL game on the 28th. Last one of the season.
Seems we have new neighbors on one side of us, and looks like the messy part of the construction on the other side of us should be just about over. Looks like they'll be working inside the houses now. Just need sod on the other side of us...might be done in the next week though. Still don't know if those houses are sold or not......
Anyhow, not much else going on around here. Hopefully going out tonight to get the rest of our Xmas shopping done so I can put 'em in the mail tomorrow. Mom, I still need you to answer my email.................
