What is the biggest mistake you made in 2008 and will not make again in 2009? Believing that people can change.

Do you make New Year’s resolutions? Not any more. Why or why not? I never kept them and then felt guilty, no sense in that!

Who do you nominate as “Man or Woman of the Year” for 2008? My husband! He received his Masters this year, works so that we live very comfortably, and has made this year very special!

What was your greatest accomplishment in 2008? Celebrating our 25th anniversary.

Christmas was great, we drove to the in-laws early Christmas Eve morning and stayed there till late afternoon before we headed back. That evening we enjoyed the hospitality of my aunt and uncle, it’s been tradition in the last few years to go to their home for dinner Christmas Eve. It was good food (enchilada’s, fajitas, beans and rice, plus all kinds of sweets!) drinks and great company! We had some really great laughs when they gave us our gifts, they created a “deja vu” calendar for each family! It was so much fun flipping through and looking at all the photos!

Christmas morning we didn’t get up till 9:30!! It was so wonderful! I love having older kids! After we exchanged presents with each other, and had breakfast (I made a really yummy breakfast casserole) I still had a couple presents to wrap to take to my moms. Yes, this was the year I was so behind it was embarrassing!

We arrived at my mom and step-dad’s around 3 and the fun began! It’s never a dull moment when my sister,  her family and mine get together. It was a wonderful holiday and I was exhausted, but good exhausted. 

I’ve already taken down my Christmas decorations on the inside of the house, it was driving me nuts. Hopefully next year I’ll get into it more than I did this year. My son called me a Scrooge, gee…..I wonder why on earth I’m so freakin’ tired son?

Speaking of my son, he’s doing better, still hobbling around on the crutches and can’t put weight on that leg yet. He has rehab twice a week and that seems to be helping.

So that’s my update….How was your Christmas?
