Oh the Holidays...

Okay, so much has happened since my last post. Mike insisted I talk about my spill down the stairs. So we were on our way out the door for work on the 18th, and as we were going down the stairs my feet just went right out from under me and I fell. So there I was, now sitting on the stairs, covered in cereal, because of course when I started to slip everything went up in the air as I tried to catch myself, and Mike standing there with a stunned look on his face. I think if he hadn't been so concerned about me being hurt or not, he'd have busted out in laughter. All in all I received a cut hand a bruised finger and wrist, and my lovely 7inch x 4inch bruise on my bum/back area.
Anyway, on to more festive things! Christmas has come and gone and boy was Santa good to me this year. My presents included a Casio Lighted-Keys Keyboard (because I really want to learn how to play), a Nintendo DS, two pairs of slippers, an ironing board, a couple of gift cards, and a nice fuzzy blanket to cuddle up in. Mike had a good Christmas too. He walked away with a new digital camera, 2 sweater vests, a level (you know the tool that helps you hang stuff straight), a simpsons gift box set, and a handfull of cash which he plans on buying an iphone with. Christmas Day we went and saw the movie Marley and Me at the theater, and it was a great movie. We then went back to my parents house and played Scene It until it was time to go home.
The next day we went up to Murray, KY to visit with my Grandparents and the rest of my Moms family. We played lots of games including one called Settlers of Catan. It was so much fun, but very long. We also played a game called Bunco Ball, which Mike and I brought. You create a ball using newspaper and packing tape to conceal prizes. Once the ball is made, you arrange everyone in a circle, and take turns rolling dice, trying to get 7's, 11's, or doubles. When you land on those numbers you get a turn, trying to get the prizes out of the ball. Play continues until the ball is completely distroyed. It was a lot of fun. I'll have to get some pictures posted soon. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, and is set for a Happy New Year!
