Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays All,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are looking forward to celebrating the birth of Christ this December 25. Let me see... where did I leave off. Oh yeah....

Early November we went up to Wisconsin and visited my parents. Everyone had a wonderful time. The kids got spoiled and we took a much needed "Semi-Vacation". My sister, Tamara, and her kids were able to accompany us on the trip. The grandparents were happy to have a house full. Check the link for pics.

We returned the next week a couple days before my surgery. I was one of the idiots you probably saw on the news in line for a PS3. Yes, I was successful. I fought off a crowd of 400 to be one of the 130 that got one. I ended up getting a couple other minor items, also. (LCD & surround sound). After sleeping outside for 2 nights in a row... I now have a greater appreciation for the homeless in the Chicago area. (I am also thankful I am not one of them)

I left Best Buy went home to shower and went to my vasectomy appointment. Unfortunately, the doctor said I could only sit and play PS3 for the next week or so. Unwilling, I accepted his orders. I am officially back to 100% and doing quite well. FYI: The procedure is not that bad for those who may need one in the future

Thanksgiving was spent at my sisters' house. I ate entirely too much and worked off the extra weight playing basketball.... on PS3.

Other notable events: We attended Jimmy's Birthday party - Saw the movie "DeJavu" (Denzel Washington) - Currently in the process of remodeling the bedrooms & house (Pics up soon) - Attended Jose's birthday "Tamale Dinner"

As usual, pictures tell a better story. I have added a few more links for your viewing pleasure. Don't forget you can access previous posts in the archive link (Top Left) for any previous posts that you missed.

Happy Holidays!
