You guys all out searching for some Nutty Bars!!! You were so cracking me up. I was on my way up north to my mom's when I saw that .50 cent price tag at a gas station. I couldn't stop thinking about it. Thank you to you guys. You made my ride home quite entertaining. Oh and if you are searching for this cute shirt, give Cristy a call.
So we are now here. It has been quite the crazy venture. My grandpa is getting surgery in the morning and we've (Sara Brown and I) have been (at this moment I am trying to impress my niece Abi with my iPod music, so not working) helping watch my grandma. She is the sweetest thing in the entire planet but has the final stages of Alzheimer's and wow, God bless her heart it is difficult.
So aside from that (Gabe literally has sweat dripping down his face, he sweats non stop which may prevent him from ever getting a girlfriend) we went sledding today which was so fun for the kids. We went with my brother's 4 kids. And we went to the same hill I went to when I was younger. Yup, we'd take my grandpa's toboggan and pile all the neighbor kids on it. Oh, I loved being a kid. Then the boys went to my brother's for a bit so we could go visit my grandpa. When we went to pick up Gabe, he threw the biggest fit. He worships his cousin Charlie.
I hope you all have a great New Years. We'll be here. My other brother is coming up, there are 5 of us all together (Denise, Diana, Dayna, David and Doug), so it'll be fun....or maybe stressful!! Whatever it is it'll be great to all be together.
Off to continue to try to impress Abi with my iPod music!! She'll never think I'm cool.
I forget who asked me about my blog books. David said it is blog2print.com. It is very simple, but there are not many options he says. But to me, it was more about just having it in print for a keepsake than to make it look beautiful. Now the MJC book, that is all about beauty!!
That boys shirt is super cute! What about the striped tee underneath, where is that from? I'm always looking for cute boy things. Love the MJ girls & adult things! Awesome work.

Alzheimer's is so horrible. My grandma passed because of that. The first time we realized something was really wrong is when my grandpa dropped her off for a hair appt. and she decided she did want it and walked off. That was the worse 6 hours of my life. But luckily we had tons of family, friends and even some strangers driving the streets till she was found safe walking several miles away.
My mom who is almost 70 worries so much in the past 10 years that she will get Alzheimer's that she won't, can't enjoy life. I try to get her out of the house often and every once in the while I turn the girls loose on her and I think that makes her forget about her "ills".
Hoping the best for your Grandparents. Safe travels and Have a happy New Year.

Happy New Year. Praying traveling mercies over your family as you are on the road.
Thanks for the information on Blog2print, I will be checking that out for sure.
Help, Help, Help....I am looking for something MJ in the circus print. My DD is a size 2 in dress, and 4 in tops. My son's birthday is 8 weeks away and it is circus themed. Anyone have something they are willing to sell?

I was so excited today when I found a big box of Matilda Jane behind the recliner!! My husband put it there after it arrived while I was away. What a treat and surprise at the same time!! Thank you so much for your generosity.

Saying a prayer that all is going well with your Granddad. It is certainly great that all of your mom's children could be there. So sorry about your Grandmother, such a sad disease. Wishing safe travels to each of you and a Happy New Year to all!

Cute shirt. Might have to get one for my little Jase. I can't believe he is almost 3. Hey Denise if you haven't heard of Morphs brand you should check it out. Pretty cute shirts for boys. And girls. They have vintage superhero shirts with arms made of tie dyed tube socks. And sock monkey shirts with arms made of the socks. They are adorable. My son got 2 for Christmas...

Don't you love it when you bring your kids places where you used to play as a kid? I sure do... every summer in Switzerland, I bring them to my special hide-aways, let them swim in fountains that I used to swim in etc. And I LUV every minute of it!
Have a wonderful family celebration tomorrow!!

Happy New Year to you and your family Denise! I saw my family and my husband's family over the past week so we will most likely go out to dinner and then have a quiet evening at home playing board games and other such things.
All the best, Rachel and Holly

Have fun with your family on New Years - mine is all s p r e a d out (CT., Tx., Fl., Germany and Spain) but I will be making a lot of calls starting at 5pm my time :)
Wishing the best for your gpa's surgery and wishing you much more success with MJC in 2010!

Have a wonderful time celebrating New Year's with your family! It's so fun to have all of the kids get together...our kids love nothing more than spending time with their cousins! Now that sledding sounds fantastic...I am a bit jealous about that & wish we had some snow here!
I've used blog2print before & was very pleased! I agree, it is so cool to have everything in a book that you can hold it in your hands.
God bless you & yours in the New Year!
