A Young Wife’s Tale

Brother #3 was Lone Wolf, one of the Indians in Peter Pan at his high school.

He had a few lines, and a cool fight scene where he fought with a bow staff against a pirate with a chain

This year’s birthday was decidely better than last year’s. David was able to walk and sit at the table.

We had dinner Saturday with David’s family and played board games. Would You Rather is so much fun! My three year old nephew picked out my cake and candles. He was so excited showing me the cake saying, “Somebody’s got to light it on fire!”

We received so many lovely, thoughtful gifts for Christmas. Here are a few highlights.

Christmas 2009 was great! Christmas Eve morning, David and I slept in. I made smoothies for breakfast, and we had just settled on the couch to drink them and watch a Christmas movie when my mother called. The weather man was reporting that Dallas would have whiteout conditions by noon, and we needed to head to the suburb where both my parents and in-laws live so we wouldn’t have to drive on the freeway once the storm hit. David and I threw our clothes (some of mine dirty) in a suitcase, as well as all of our stuff to bake cookies, and two dogs since we were dog sitting for our friends.

My mother came over before Thanksgiving and helped me put up the Christmas tree. It was so nice coming back from our trip and having the tree already up. I have a six feet tall artificial tree (No real trees for severe allergy sufferers.), but this year I made it four feet and put it on my dining room table. The house has been rearranged so much this year, and we don’t really have room for it in our living room.
