MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

wow...the holidays seem to get busier and busier every year! As always...we had a fantastic time visiting with friends and family over the past week and we still have a few more visits to get in before the new year.

Our Christmas began on the 22nd when we had Brendan down for the night. The next evening on the 23rd we had a nice visit and great dinner with Darrin's parents before we had

to make the long drive back to Brendan's house. On the 24th we travelled to Darrin's parents for dinner with my mom, Tammy, Paul and Marilou. It was a great evening with tonnes of food, laughs and gifts. Darrin was very happy when he opened his box of Teddy bears!! lol...after he dug in a bit he revealed his actual gift and was quite surprised with the contents of the box. Needless to say we were all spoiled and stuffed when we left. We brought home some goodies and both Darrin and I had a very festive breakfast the next day....lol..Carb overload!!
Thank you Dick and Kay for a fabulous evening and spectacular food.

On Christmas day Darrin and I travelled to my Uncle Donley and Aunt Judi's house for dinner. There is usually 35-40 of us that get together for

this special holiday. My mom brought my grandmother and my great-Aunt was there as well..the two sisters looked amazing and we were all honoured and thankful to have them both with us. As for the youngest generation in our family...the twins are getting so big, my cousin is doing an awesome job at raising these two amazing boys! And my other cousin had his little baby there...isn't she cute, she was smiling all night long!! There are still a few more of my family members that I can't wait to visit; my 3 little angels and my cousin Jen...it's been waaaaaaaaay too long! I'm hoping to hook up with them soon.
Here's my Christmas Goodie Package!!
The Monday before the Christmas weekend i was busy baking and packaging up some treats to give out during the holidays (the card above shows the contents of my goodie packages)...then Darrin had asked me to do a favour for one of his clients that was having a houseful of people spend the holidays with her...he wanted me to bake for 25 people, So of course i said yes! For the next 3 days my kitchen looked like a bakery and i managed to prepare over 300 pieces of sweet stuff for her to serve during the holidays! I hope her guests enjoyed the goodies.
Pay Per View this Saturday!!
This Saturday we'll be having some friends over to watch the UFC pay per view. Not too sure what we'll having to eat yet but I still have one more day to figure that out..lol..

Darrin and I were both back at work this week and back to regular training. My workouts are great and I'm looking forward to getting back on the diet January 2nd!! We have have lots of news to announce in the New Year and lots of great things happening in our personal life and business lives!! 2007 is going to be a Fantastic year for us...2006 is ending on a fabulous note and 2007 will begin on an even better one! Keep checking back to see what announcement or news that I will be revealing next!
I hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Year! Please remember....
