Halloween was good fun as always and it was so great to see Syd be able to participate this year. She was the cutest Duck ever. Tyler dressed as an awesome Pirate and was a real champ at trick-or-treating.
Thanksgiving was fun. We spent the afternoon at my brother's home and had a wonderful dinner.
Christmas... it came and went so fast. We went and cut our tree as we normally do and again got a fabulous tree. I held the annual Christmas brunch at my home and this year we did something different with our gift giving. All of us went and spent a couple hours at the food bank (which was so much fun, I highly recommend it) and then we all bought a $20.00 gift that was wrapped and we played a gift exchanging game to see who went home with what. It was really fun and there was no pressure to find the perfect gift for each person.
New years was a blast too. We did our traditional fondue party which is something we all look forward to. It's always so yummy and a fun night to share with friends and family.
So there's a brief synopsis of what happened during the last few months.
Work still is so terribly slow. I have one very large project that is coming to an end and once that is finished I'm not sure what I will have to work on. I sure hope this economy turns around fast. My industry has been hit so hard....
Our cruise is coming up the end of February. I am so excited. We have never been but hear they are wonderful. The stressful part is figuring out the kid's schedule and making sure they are taken care of. We are seriously thinking about taking the kids to Disney Land in October too. Tyler has never been and it has been 10 years since Braden and I have been. I know Tyler and Sydney would love it.
Here are a few pics.
