You  might allready know me but my name is Emery.My Christmas was amasing because I got
a Easy Bake from my Mom and I love it.It is a good present because it was from my Mom-but
it was missing a pece that we had to buy that is a 100-watt light bulb and nun of the stors were
open.I am very sad because I have been wantting it for a very long time.I hope I get the bulb tomarro so I can cook and be happy day. And you have a very Merry Christmas.I will too.

Merry Christmas!



Just want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. It's been a wonderful, fabulous day at home - just our little family. No work, no stress, no cooking . . . what else could I ask for??? We've got left-overs from our {little} dinner last night with the Barbachanos - Dan says I need to work on portion control when I host dinners - but at least he gets to eat today!!!

At this very moment here's where everyone is:
Dan - purchasing clothing for his {freakishly identical} Tiger Woods Wii dude. I swear every time I see him playing I don't know whether he's the one holding the Wii remote, or the one on the TV screen - and it's even more complicating when the little screen dude starts dancing - they could be twins!

Tonya - I just got done reading about a dozen and a half blogs - I've been so out of the loop and it was nice to catch up. I think I've been at it for about an hour and a half - I was just intending to update mine . . . but I had to see what everyone else has been doing.

Harrison - watching one of the Indiana Jones movies in the full box set he's been waiting for forever!!! I think he's on the third for the day - hey, it's Christmas . . . we'll probably let him see all 4~ bad parents!!!

Emery & Jack - playing with the Lego set Santa gave Jack. Poor Emery . . . she got an Easy Bake oven from mom . . . and unfortunately she didn't get the particular bulb that is supposed to go inside to cook the treats - and after going through every light bulb in the house - Dad took a ride to see if ANY store was open . . . just a gas station that did have light bulbs, but the wrong kind! She's bored - and I don't blame her . . . she's wanted an Easy Bake for a couple years now - tomorrow she'll be baking all day I'm sure!

Aidan - napping -

It's been a good Christmas - we thank those who invited us for Christmas dinners, however, it's been relaxing and extremely nice to be home today - still in PJ's and robes & bed-head.

Merry Christmas to everyone! And happy New Year if I don't get to the blog before then . . . I'm just sayin'!

Wow, things have been busy!

Just a quick update today - things are moving right along at the store. I've been working hard getting things ready . . . we are going to have a grand re-opening event on Dec 19 and I'm wanting everything to be just like it is in my head . . . and it's getting there, one small step at a time!!!

The kids are doing great . . . they've been helping with little "jobs" here and there - last week Emery went with me and spent the ENTIRE day working on little things. She sure likes it over there. Harrison wants to go and work, then after about a half hour is ready to come home. The little boys are doing fine, too - I've got a little play area so they have a place to hang out and be kids. 

Other than that, nothing much has been going on that's not store-related! Once things settle down, I hope to have a little more time to devote back to blogging. Until then - check out our store blog -------->>>> link to the right
