Disney's Nemo On Ice
The day after Christmas we went to the Civic Center (Dunkin Donuts Center for those who are new to RI) and watched Nemo on Ice. The kids LOVED it, and it was cute. Here are just a few pictures, some are blurry because my camera doesn't like to take dark photos very well. But at least you'll get the idea of how colorful and fun it was. (Not to mention sticky cotton candy faces too!)

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
For a vacation, the past two weeks have been packed with things to do! In just a couple of days, Ryan and I go back to school and we'll be back into a routine of some sort.
The Saturday night before Christmas, we were expecting a TON of snow, so before the first flake fell...we got the call the Church was canceled. It was a good thing because at about 10pm, it started to snow and when it was all over in the morning, we had almost 22 inches! It was a nice day off for all of us.
Christmas Eve meant only a half a day of work for Ric. (Of course, he's forced to take vacation time for the other half! Grrr...) and he had promised to help the kids make a snowman that day. His idea of a snowman is filling up buckets and stacking them up. The kids LOVED it though!
He's pretty cool with his shades, don't you think? We changed his hat to a Santa hat the next day after Santa stopped by our house. Unfortunately, the day after that, he was melted and gone. :)

Megan was so pooped after the snowman that she completely crashed on the floor afterwards. That night, we joined some good friends for dinner. The kids were all off the wall with their friends while the four parents, just sat back and watched.

Our Christmas tree and stockings this year were all made with paper (of which I have PLENTY!) because we packed our decorations and everything into a storage unit to make room for the garage remodel. Of course we thought we were going to be a lot further with that little project. So rather than dig into the back of the storage, we made everything. Do you like our poster board stockings? :) You can see the tree on my business website.

Somehow that night, Santa made it to our house. We had a nice Christmas morning with Orange Rolls and tons of wrapping paper. One thing that I wanted to do was to go see a movie - so we chose The Chipmunks, Squeakuel. It was cute, and the kids liked it. That night was Chinese Food at one of our favorite restaurants and then home again. It was a REALLY busy day, and I don't think we'll pack that much into one day again...especially since we were going out the next night to see Nemo on Ice! (Tickets courtesy of Santa - I'll put up a separate post about that one.)
So that was it...I leave you with a crazy Christmas greeting...

What a stupid I am...
When we got home from the movies this afternoon, I thought that I would start my van and let it run for a little while to check out if the overheat / no-heat problem is any better since I took the thermostat out. Well...when we went outside to leave for dinner (2+hours later) the car wasn't running any more! I completely forgot that I left it running in the driveway and laid down on the couch for some napping. D'OH!
