Wow, it 2010!! It's been awhile since I posted last...a lot has happened since then!
Christmas has come and gone and so has the year! Wow! We had an AWESOME Christmas this year and we were able to make it to our destination amid the blizzard we had the night before! As a matter of fact on Christmas Eve our power kept going off and on for a solid 2 hours in the middle of the day and it worried me that I wouldn't be able to get my baking done! But it finally came back on and stayed on until 10pm and then it went out and we finished up our packing via flashlight. Around 2:30 am I woke up with a VERY COLD head...I sat straight up and said: "is our power still off??!!" Bob got up and checked the thermostat and said it was 54 degreess!! GAH! So he braved the weather and bundled up and got some wood to start a fire in our fireplace (that we have never used since we bought this place and knew it probably should have been properly cleaned out before, but we were desperate at this point!)...meanwhile I went to put more blankets on the boys (who were perfectly warm and in peaceful slumber!) WHOOHOO for good circulation! haha! Anyway...Bob finally got inside with all the wood and was trying to start the fire (we only had ONE newspaper as we had JUST set out recycling two days prior and it was the Burlington paper at that...so like 6 pages!!) and it wasn't working wasn't working and then BAM, lights came back on! Phew! So we had a warm Christmas morning afterall!
It was really cute to see the boys come down the stairs that morning! Their eyes were in total amazement that Santa actually had come to our house! Camden belted out a low and slow "WOOOOAAAAHHHH" and Decovin just stared! LOL! Then the excitement of it all started. Santa brought them a really cool basketball goal and scooter and a fun bouncy ball with handles...GOOD TIMES!
Bob and I also faired well with an ipod, nintendo ds, boston red sox gear, and other randomness...I did get my Chi flat iron! YES!! It was a good year!
We spent Christmas afternoon and the next two days with Bob's parents...we only got the van stuck once in his g'parents driveway of death, but other than that, we didn't really have a problem.
On the 26th, Bob and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary! It's crazy to think we have been married this long...it seems like just yesterday...but this is a good thing, b/c I still love him and I couldn't imagine life without him!! We were going to out on a date but ended up not going due to weather...so we ordered pizza with his family and we drove to the store to pick it up...that's how we roll, classy style! Really it's not a big deal b/c we are going to Hawaii in April/May to celebrate. We never had a honeymoon so this is it, 10 years later! I'm so excited. We have our plane tickets booked and our first four nights booked...we will be finishing up the bookings over the next week or so! Totally excited!
For New Year's Christy came over, as is our tradition now and we snacked on cheese, crackers, and sausage, creamcheese ball of goodness, chex mix, margarita's, chocolate, and little smokies! Can you say belly ache?! LOL! It was fun and Decovin actually made it to midnight! Camden went to bed at normal bedtime hour! LOL! It was fun!
Tomorrow is back to the grind. Bob is back to work and I'm now in prepping for two little boys' bdays! It's a crazy time of year for the Plummer's! LOL! I can't believe they will be 4 and 2 already! *sigh*
Sorry for the long post! Hope you all had a safe and happy holiday season!
