BAM! Another post

Did I tell you about Christmas yet?

It was wonderful.

Keeping Saeiah at bat with the presents was hard.

I think by the time Christmas actually came she had given up on us ever opening the gifts. But alas the day came! I think Joe was just as excited as she was.

Also- I didn't think opening gifts would take so long! Every gift she wanted to open and play with right then.

Sariah LOVES her grocery cart she got. And her art station. And her Barbie doll. Okay, she basically loved everything.

I got Joe and I both small nerf guns- they have brought many a nights full if fun for him, Sariah and scout.

Later that day we drove up to Sioux City where  Jokes family had invited us for Christmaa dinner. It was fun and a perfect way to spend the day.

Ps- HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!!

I forgot my birthday?

Not really.
But I didn't blog.
Because my computer sorta died on me...happy birthday, right? Anyways, I am sorta stuck with phone blogging till we figure out my computer.
I mean, we DO have another perfectly good working computer at home- but, it's a PC. And a desktop. You understand my dilemma, right? I can't seem to explain it to Joe.

Anyways. I had a realization yesterday.
For the last 4-5 years I have thought getting older sucked because birthdays army as fun.
Then it hit me- those birthdays were all in the cold. Growing up I never thought of having a winter birthday. The weather never affected my birthday. I mean we weren't going to the beach, but I do remember one yer having a water balloon fight.
So, fast forward to life in Idaho/Nebraska.
No sun.
Wind.
Cold.
Snow everywhere.

There is not a chance you wanna go celebrate outside.
So, now I have to live with a winter birthday. :/


On the bright side- I got Chinese food on my birthday. And that makes EVERYTHING better :)
