Christmas Eve

We had a great Christmas Break. Brian worked from home the few days before Christmas, then was off work all of last week until today. It was so nice to have him home and hard getting back to the normal routine today. We got a few projects done that we have been wanting to. He finally finished the shelf in Rian's room, and then we did my backsplash in my kitchen that we meant to do before we even moved in. He taught me how to use the tile saw so now I am no longer afraid of it. We have one room to finish in this house and that is the basement bathroom. Now that I know how to do it myself, I will tile it all and surprise Brian one day!  Mom and Dad came up the Friday before Christmas, and that night we had the Ewell family party at the Church. Graci wasn't feeling well so mom and dad stayed home with her that night. Saturday was a fun day as Candice and Gary and boys came down to spend the day and early evening with us. I was so excited when Candice said she would go on a horse ride with me. We took our turn, then let the kids take over while Mom and us started dinner. We had a really good time with them here. I got a couple photos of everyone eating, and meant to get some more of all of us together but it never happened.






Im writing this right now while Brian is at young men's. I was just getting ready for bed and Shelby was in my bed talking to me. She kept saying she was texting people and naming her friends, family, cousins, etc. I thought she was just playing. Well, I looked at her and sure enough, she had my phone and I realized she really was texting someone! Luckily, it was her Aunt Kim. She sent 5 of them. It was really funny. Kim got a kick out of it too. I didn't know she knew what it was! She does know how to find her way around on my phone though to play the games she wants or find her movies. Kenni was on her ipod once in the car looking for a movie. She said she couldn't find it and we heard Shelby say " I will get it for you Kenni". After a second she said " here you go". So Kenni watched her movie. 
Last week Brian went downstairs and found Shelby had lined up all her babies on the couch and was playing house. She told him and Rian to sit by them so I could take a picture. Here it is:


We have some new faces here on the farm.
