The highlight of January for me was my trip to Texas with Aunt Linda. We went to see Emily as Maria in the Sound of Music and she was fabulous! We had a great time.

This is what Aunt Janice looks like now!

Happy Birthday to Rane!

Christmas 2008 Continued

Christmas 2008

We have had the most magical Christmas thanks to the weather. It has been so much fun watching the Grandchildren play in their first really big snowfall. I had a difficult time narrowing my picture selection. I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas and enjoy our pictures!

What's Up With Us?

Not much. We had a great Thanksgiving feast at our house. Everyone was here minus Ashley and Ryan who went to Gig Harbor to be with Ryan's family. The halls are decked, the tree is trimmed and no, the shopping is not done. Thanks to Aaron we have a fair amount of lights this year. FYI for those who don't know, the 2 new children added to our list of grandchildren belong to Adam's girl friend, Layna. They are Solill and Gabriel. We wish all of you a very peaceful holiday season. I'm wishing for the same!

Meet "the other pets"

Ever since I posted the picture of Fraiser Pete I've heard nothing but complaints because the "real pets" have not been blogged yet. So I present to you "the real pets" of the Nichols home. This is queen Lucille.

This is Fricka, (daughter of Queen Lucille).

These are our pets in the back yard.

Halloween

This is Superman "Wil"

"Cat girl" Rane

Solil and Gabe (I forgot the names of their characters)

Taylor the "Witch"

We had a great Halloween. The weather was so mild and the rain held off for us. The kids all went Trick or Treating then we met at Great Grandma's for Cider and Sweets.

Quirks?

Oh no, I'm so nervous. Britt tagged me for quirks, but I'm not sure what they are (even though I just read hers). Oh no, Bob said I don't have any. But let me try.
1. I have to put my hair in curlers before I straighten it.

2. I can't make 2 of the same colored food items for dinner. (Everything has to be a different color.

3. I will not go out of the house without earrings on.

4. I have to vacuum the house clockwise.

5. I can't put my lipstick on while the car is running, I always wait until Bob turns it off and is ready to get out and is standing with the door open. (he hates that one)

6. I have to wash the dishes before I put them in the dishwasher.

There you go.
