Christmas is Coming, The Goose is Getting Fat....


Well, it's almost Christmas time. Thanks to all my family and friends who thought I should be reminded of snow by sending pictures of it this weekend. Sorry to say that we were in the 80s again and you all can keep the snow. We even went to the beach last weekend and didn't wear any coats. I love where we live. After getting our tree, I'm feeling a little bit more festive. Hard to believe that starting Friday, our house will be full of visitors! The year has gone by too quickly! We've had a great and exciting year and we're looking forward to 2008. I hope we slow down a little bit, but honestly with a baby who will too soon be a toddler, I doubt that will happen.

The company I work for was featured on Forbes again this year. This year, we've climbed the ranks by being #21 in the "200 best small companies" and #1 on the "under the radar" category. I'm not sure how 1500 employees and $211M makes us small, but whatever. It's always nice to see your companies name up in lights.

I hope everyone has a great and safe Christmas and New Year. Enjoy yourselves and your families. Write again in 2008.

Santa Update

Okay, when I'm wrong, I usually admit it. Santa wasn't that bad actually. We went to the small town that my brother-in-law lives at. Santa was a really nice (and not creepy) guy. He really looks like Santa and his beard was real and everything! Hayden did well and though he didn't smile, I can't wait to see Santa's face as Hayden had a hold of his beard! It had to hurt. ha ha. Santa asked what Hayden wanted for Christmas, I laughed and said a Mini-van and a new car seat. Santa laughed. Hopefully, we'll get the pictures back soon and I can upload them. Too funny.

Hayden started his new day care today. I went to check on him at lunch and he seemed very happy and content. After our visit, I put him in his bouncy seat next to a girl in his class. Hayden looked at the girl and got the biggest grin and started saying, "ah, goo". I cracked up and said Hayden at least wait until I leave the room before you flirt! He's great.

Have a great week.
