Merry Christmas!
Santa is done wrapping and has officially over bought! The bears will be super excited in the morning! Need to get some sleep, but wanted to wish you all a safe and happy holiday!

This Christmas...
Well, I'm still loving the new phone. The only problem is that it stopped vibrating when it rings so I have no idea when somebody calls or texts me. I have to hit the Verizon store in the midst of the crazy Christmas season... that won't be fun! Hopefully they can fix it or give me a new phone. My mom thinks that I will have to Fed Ex it because I didn't actually buy it at the store, but ordered it by calling the 800 number. This better not be the case. How can they expect me to go that long without a phone?!?! Especially over the holidays. It will take all of those extra days. So, wish me luck at the store!
In other bad news, BB was at the doctor last week. He has been coughing for weeks, but had no other symptoms. Last week, he woke with a croup cough and a fever. I took him to the doctor. She put him on prednisone for the croup and amoxicilan for bronchitis. He is done with the prednisone, but still has a few days of the amoxicilan left. He is sounding so much better!
To make it even worse, GB started coughing yesterday. She sounds bad now too. Hopefully she will start to feel better faster than BB (and me. I've been coughing since the week before Thanksgiving). Our Christmas plans will probably be changed because she is sick. I have germophobe sisters-in-law. Even if the bears were sick two weeks ago and are fine now, we couldn't be around their kids. My brothers have made bad choices in wives, but that is a long story for another day!
Anyway, this means the hubby will probably invite his father to our house for dinner. Imagine the most "hick-ish" person that you know and muliply that by about 100. That's my father-in-law. And the bears barely know him because he never made an effort to make himself available to see them. We have tried to go see him or invite him here many times and he always was going to see his ex-girlfriend. Now, on Christmas, he'll have nothing better to do, so he'll be here.
The worst news yet? I still have nothing to give my dad for Christmas. The man has everything! If he wants it, he buys it... The bears want to buy him a gift card for his favorite restaurant. I don't really like to give gift cards but at this point I might have too! Any suggestions that you have are encouraged!!
Sorry to be a downer, but this Christmas season has not been the best.

Momma Bear's new toy...
Yep, that's right. I got a new toy! Get your mind out of the gutter, not that kind of toy! I got a new cell phone!! I have been talking about a new phone for months but didn't want to spend the money on what I wanted. Finally, my mom got sick of hearing me talk about it an decided to order me a phone for Christmas. I guess technically, I ordered it, but mom and dad paid. I picked it up this afternoon and have been playing with it ever since. My poor children were neglected this evening! (Disclaimer: I was at my parents house, so grandma and pap were watching them. So, not technically neglected! No reason to call CYS k?!?)
So, I got this fancy phone with a fancy camera and touch screen with a qwerty keyboard... Sorry, I'll stop drooling now. I even figured out how to get my pictures and contacts and everything on to the new phone! So, you want to meet the new love of my life? Well, here he is!
Handsome little guy, huh?
While we are talking about phones, I have to tell you about the bears and their phones. I think that the hubby and I (and the niece) text a little too much because the bears have been "texting" on their cell phones. BB even wanted to take his phone to bed with him. Why? "What if somebody sends me a text while I'm sleeping?" The boy had me almost crying, I laughed so hard. Then I made sure that the phone was not in his bed. Of course, first thing in the morning, he had to check his phone to see if he got any texts!
Just one more reason I should be afraid of the bears growing up...
