Class New Years Celebration of 2009

The first day back from Christmas vacation in every January, I go in to work early and decorate the classroom with balloons, streamers, hats, confetti, noise blowers and poppers....We make a big deal of changing fromthe old year to the new... Its the only real time thru out the year we make a mess....

Blessings & Happy New Year for 2009

I wish all of you blessings for 2009.
I met with Aunt Deb for coffee at Cocoa's and exchanged our gifts.
We went up to Lara and Jims for New Years Eve. We had our Christmas with them..
Lara saw the sewing machine in the closet.... sneaky Lara!
We decided we needed to go get dinner so we went to the Cocky Bull for dinner. We all had burgers or hot wings.
My camera quit working so I didnt get any pictures of the New Year Eve party.
Danny was out playing poker at some casino so he missed celebrating with us this us.

Jim folks and Jr, Jennifer and her family came about 7:00ish.. The ladies sat around and visited, ate munchies, looked thru magizines, and played 2 games: Skat and Scatorgories. The guys mostly ate and watched footballand started plsying poker about 9:00. When midnight came, we wish everyone a Happy New Years and toasted with Sparkling Cider then let the kids do poppers outside. We finished up the night with a skit /cheer from the kids for all the adults... I think the inlaws, outlaws, and dogs were in bed by 12:30...lol

We got up about 7 ish and had coffee and started breakfast of biscuits and gravy and bacon and eggs while watching the Rose Parade and fliping back and forth from football game to football game
.
I helped Lara set up her NEW sewing machine and about 11 a.m. Wes and I headed for home.

We have enjoyed all of the holidays and Happy New Year to all....

Another Adventure

Dad loves to make me wonder where we are going. He says its a Surprise...
Today we ended up in L.A. at the Farmers Market.... We had never been there and so we walked around.
We found a Cajun place to eat called The Gumbo Pot. I had a half Muffetala sandwich, Dad had 2 side orders, Red beans and rice and Jambalaya and we split a order of Beignets (french donuts) and coffee.
They had some cute stores and alot of grocery and speciality food shops.
It was a nice outing with crisp winds...

The Annual Craft Girls Day

Well it was only Lara and I that made it to Christmas on Euclid at 9:00 a.m.this year. Aunt Deb was sick, the her girls were both working, and Aunt Lynn didnt want to go...

Boy it was terrible... there were hardly any craft booths and we walked the whole thing and back to the car in 45 minutes... it was sad, sad, sad,,,

Then sisi and I went over to the Harvest Festival at the fair grounds for 10:00 a.m It was Ok but not the real cutie things that they had in the past years... We didnt buy much there either.

We decided to go to downtown Claremont for Espaiu salads... then we came back home and took a nap....
