Day 16.....

It has been 16 days since I gave up Facebook.  I realize how much time I mindlessly wasted seeing what everyone else was doing, measuring myself against others, and telling the world my every move.  So, what have I done with my time saved in the last 16 days?  I have thought of my witty comments that I would have posted in the past, and just kept them to myself.  I knitted a baby sweater and ballet booties for a friend's niece.  I started a chemo hat for a neighbor's daughter.  I also came to a conclusion that I need to communicate with my family, since they grew to know our lives through Facebook.  I am going to use my blog to help keep them in the loop, if they choose to read my rantings!?!

So, to catch up on the events of late, we had a house-full for the holidays and it was a bunch of FUN!!  Here  are a couple pictures to recap the events:

Burke got her American Girl Doll!
She cried for a good hour the night before worried that she had
not been a good girl and Santa wasn't going to leave her anything.

Monster on his new bike!

Papa John got new Muck Boots!!

The "new" kitchen was a hit!

Grandpa's Birthday Gift:  A Mad Bomber Hat for the VT cold!

Story time with the cat included!

Then, in January, we celebrated a boy turning 4 with make our own pizzas, eating Spider Man cake, opening gifts, and talking on the phone to family.  He said it was the best birthday ever!
