This Christmas~*

Hello world...hello fellow bloggers...hello blogsphere!!!    It has been a good while since I last popped my head in here. Please excuse my hiatus and the lack of comment on your blog. I hope to get back in the swing of blogging and play catch up with your posts in weeks to come.     As it turned out, we ALL barely survived the Doomsday and the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping/celebration, didn't we??? Woooo-hoooo!!!   The past few weeks were wild and crazy as expected. Between getting the house clean, trying to get Christmas shopping done, wrapping presents, cooking my life away, running like chicken without its head at work, finalizing paperwork for my dauthter's pre-K and coming down with a nasty cold...that's enough to keep me occupied alright. Yeah.   Now I feel like I need a week to recuperate but that is not going to happen either...sigh. Work is kickcing in high gear starting this coming Wednesday (what a great way to start a new year?!?) and it looks like I will be extra busy with work related activities until at least March or longer. Exciting or what??   However, we did have a great family time this Christmas. After we opened presents at our house we headed to my in-laws who live about 20 mins away. Their house was beautifully decorated. As we walked in, we were greeted by the delicious aroma of breakfast floating in the air. There were presents after presents after presents under the tree. The highlight this year must have been a doll house which didn't fail to make my little girl's excitement goes through the roof. Grandma and grandpa sure were as happy as the little girl.
