Christmas 2006

Had a great Christmas - the four of us stayed here in the morning and opened gifts and then went to my parents place and opened a bunch more and they made dinner for 14 of us. It was a lot of fun - played games and ate a whole bunch of delicious food.

Boxing day for me means shopping at 7AM til 5PM - I even did some shopping at Plum clothing for Linda so she could get 50% off too. Most of the stuff I bought has or is going back - what a waste of time buying it all - I get caught up in getting a good deal but if I don't need it, why buy it even if it is 50% off. I'm a slow learner.

Some pics from the last few days

Carter went skating with his class for the first time. He did well but had a couple of terrible falls which banged up his face real good - I think he needs a cage helmet while he's learning - we're going to take him out again soon - he liked skating - I must be a bad dad who has a 7 year old who can't skate.

Mr Slurpee got a Slurpee machine for Christmas - woo hoo - I made a couple of slurpees - we had fun making them. Takes regular soda and almost freezes it. Kids and I like it.














Carter loved building this Lego Harley Davidson bike he got for Christmas















Linda made a fabulous chocolate cake in the shape of an ornament

Carter had a special day at school - his teacher made them all dress up and she made them spaghetti and bread and desserts and ate by candlelight - He called it Fancy Lunch day.
