Boxing Day
So Christmas has now come and gone. It was a great couple days with the family. Christmas Eve consisted of working then going to pick up Joan (Turk's mom) and coming home to Jen making supper. It was such a great supper. Everything she made was a new recipe that she has never made before. I ate potato and bacon soup, cheese and bacon pinwheels, and zesty spicy chicken. All of it was fabulous! Turk really liked the soup the most. Then we opened up stockings and wow was there a lot of gifts! Even the pets got their own stocking stuffers. lol The kids did get to open two stockings because one was from us and the other from their other Grandma from MB. After that was done we had a Wii competition. We played seven different games and in the finals it was between Bay and myself. We played golf and he won by seven strokes. It was great to spend time with the kids and have some friendly competition. We all ended up having a great time together and that's something that I hold dear.
On Christmas day we opened up presents, after waking Jen up at 10am. I could hardly sleep the night before. I was up at least 3 times during the night and had butterflies in my stomach. I was so excited for us to all open our gifts and since this is the first Christmas all living under the same roof. (Of course except for Brooklyn and Cassidy who are still back in MB with Pam and Danny) Opening presents lasted an hour and fifteen mins. Then we all kinda played with our new toys. After a little while Joan started to make supper and then we sat down and ate stuffing, gravy, turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, and veggies. After cleaning up the dishes we relaxed. Later on in the night we all ended up Skyping with Brooklyn and Cassidy. Our holiday was complete after hearing their giggles and seeing them, even if it over the computer.
Today I have slept all day, Turk went to work, Jen is in her room, and Bay has a friend over. I'm watching the World Jr game (on mute cause I could only find it on the french channel), eating a late lunch and listening to music on Turk's new iPig. I don't want to jabber on too much longer so I'm just gonna end with pics of the presents that I received this year. Only things missing from the photo are a bag of Mini eggs that I have already ate, a Menno cookbook and a Walmart gift card.

5 more days till Christmas!
Today Jen and I went grocery shopping, had Starbucks, and went to East Side Marios for supper. Jen and I received free drinks and free desserts, PLUS balloon masterpieces. Tee hee! I requested a Christmas tree and Jen told the guy to surprise her and she received a balloon present. Today was a pretty sweet day. :) I wish I had more time in a day. I need to put some more gifts into stockings and then do some painting. I have to go to work tomorrow and I'm really not wanting to. It's gonna be crazy this week with last minute holiday shoppers. :( Please be nice people.

I should be sleeping...
But I can't. I have so many things running through my head I'm surprised my head hasn't flown off yet. I've been thinking/dreaming a lot lately, like a lot. Mostly about art, quotes I've read, career path, home, etc. Last night my eyes were so tired from staring at the laptop screen all day, but once I went to sleep my mind kept racing about all the inspiration I had just seen. Made me want to paint in the middle of the night. Kinda makes me want to now too. My friend Dan wrote something that is very true to the core of what my thinking revolves around. "So don’t be yourself, be who you want yourself to be." It may sound easy but it's the hardest thing I think I've ever faced....
