holiday highlights

// December 31st, 2008 // 2 Comments » // apple, family, random foolishness

Ok, I’m back… took a much needed break for the holidays from both blogging and work. It was awesome. Since you’ve missed me, I thought I’d give ya a few highlights from Team Taylors Rockin Christmas.

  • Spending time with my girls tops the list easily.
  • Bella ate Ho-Ho’s cookies. We only had 2 and after she put one on the plate she said, “I weal hungy” and we told her couldn’t have one coz they were for Ho-Ho so she licked it. Too cute.
  • Due to my own stupidity I caused myself to bleed twice on Christmas Eve. (whats the flippin deal with the packaging of these toys and why’s my brother-in-laws knife so sharp?)
  • Beck got me the perfect gift. Perfect. (Is it wrong to love an inanimate object?) I’ve wanted one for a long time.
  • I got Beck the perfect gift, even though she says I got it more for me than her. eh, maybe shes right. And yes, of course I got the HD one.christmas_story
  • Got my new MacBook Pro in on the 26th, and dang this thing is bad.
  • Mrs. Barbs cookies and Christmas treats! Ah-maz-ing!
  • Went out with a bunch of friends to see A Christmas Story at the Saenger Theatre in downtown Mobile. (deck the halls with boughs of horry, ra ra ra ra ra, ra ra ra ra)
  • Sunday night before Christmas we celebrated my grandparents 60th anniversary. Wow.
  • We were blessed with a brand new beta fish (that bella named fishy) that we got from a dirty santa game that went terribly wrong.
  • And our favorite Christmas pic this year is our monkey faces.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, give me a few of your highlights.

See ya next year!
