Ok my little sister Katee told me I needed to get on here and update since it's been over a month, so here i am. Time just gets away from me and before I know it another month is gone. A lot has happened since i blogged last, with the holidays, and birthdays, and just every day life stuff. We had a wonderful Christmas, and of course having Tori around makes it almost as exciting as being a five year old myself. She loves every little thing about it, and she brings so much magic to the holiday. New Years came and went and with it of course some resolutions. We figured out a tricky way to not have to stay awake until midnight (yes we are old), we watched the New Year's countdown on the Disney channel which is 2 hours ahead of our time, and we were able to cheer and welcome in the new year at 10 instead of 12, and Tori was none the wiser. I have been working hard again at taking the weight off, but we will see if i succeed it just seems like a never ending battle. We are doing a biggest loser at both mine and Dave's jobs so we are both working really hard. So far the New Year has just kept us very busy, and we are trying to keep up with all of it, so I will continue to try and keep all of you up on what our boring little lives are up to.



here are some fun pics from Christmas Tori opening her Skateboard that she has been wanting forever, and then trying it out

here she is opening her DS and loving it, and then opening her Sharpay dress that she wanted more then anything, you can tell she loved all of it

trying out her Sharpay pose....silly girl

I once read somewhere a lady that held a new years eve party for kids at 12 noon. They would do the entire thing with food, games, noisemakers and the countdown to noon. That night they were put to bed at normal time. I thought that was a great idea. Anyway, we loved hanging out with you guys.

We miss you! Hope to see you this summer, were gonna try to get up there. (somehow)
