Happy Monday guys!!!!
I'm not going to post any pics of the kids opening gifts because they aren't umm properly dressed ;-) but they had a good time!
Every year we go to my moms house on Christmas morning, once they wake up lol.
My kids got up at O' Dark Thirty wanting to open gifts lol. Next year we MIGHT go to my moms as soon as they wake up lol. *Making mental notes* lol
My mom had the BRIGHT idea to take some pics of her little dog Ozzie lol
Yes, those are my moms glasses lol
He is a cutie lol. He was tired after all of that but he still didn't want to take his "clothes" off lol.
The dudes were chillin...watchin us make a fool out of ourselves lol.
I can't remember what I was singing, but the wig was necessary lol. My mom pulled this out from her New Years get up last year when her and my dad were Peaches and Herb lol. THAT was funny. Here is a pic...I don't think I ever showed it....
YES she put on a SEQUIN dress and sprayed GOLD GLITTER on a jacket for my dad...it was Motown party lol...she was trying to capture the essence of peaches and herb....SMH lol. I LOVE that they love to have fun after being married 32 years...
**side story lol when my dad was in his wheel chair after his accident, they would go to walmart at like 2 and 3 AM....sometimes I would go to help her get the stuff in the car because my dad couldn't carry anything heavy...well one time I went he kept trying to roll over her in his wheelchair and she went and got an electric chair and was trying to hit him too. I just left them to play lol... END STORY **
Andre was trying to tell me how to sing...so I offered him the mic lol.
He also took the wig lol
My parents also got in on the action lol
They did a duet but I can't remember what they were singing lol
Then Marvin came and I put the camera up lol
We really had a really good Christmas!
The tree is now down and the decorations are put up and we are getting ready for the NEW YEAR!!
I wish I had a clone because I have two parties to attend. One thing I LOVE about these parties....they are ALL kid friendly! I love that people plan fabulous parties and the kids can come too! Those parties that say, no children allowed....I ain't going lol. ESPECIALLY for New Years. I can't see myself bringing in the New Year without my kids. Other things yeah, that's fine lol, but NOT NY's lol. I will have to get some pics this year. The kids do it up too! LOL
Ok, that is IT for me! I hope y'all have a great day!
Toodles!
I am too through.. That wig is hilarious. I love the closeness of your family and you enjoy each other's company. I have a huge family and through all of the craziness we have a blast. I think I am going to get them a karaoke machine.

On Christmas eve my family does Karaoke till like 12:30 or 1:00 am. I thought we were the only ones nuts like that. We even call it a "talent" sure though I'm not sure why.

Ozzie is too cute, I have a female yorkie named Bella, but she runs from the camera.
Oh yeah, I am trying to comment more because I don not want to be labeled a lurker.

What a blast!!!!! The wig is too funny!
Posted by: Kristi S | December 29, 2008 at 01:02 PM
SMH. You make the dog dress up and force people to wear wigs to sing. In my world, that's what you did. :op I used to think you were so nice. I never realized how demented you are. LOL.
Glad you had fun.

Sounds like fun times, lady!
I hear you on the parties. I'm one that usually host the party and I always do kid friendly parties simply because it was always a pain to try and find a babysitter on New Year's Eve so I just started doing it that way.

I thought we were the only ones "singing" Christmas eve. We did American Idol on xbox 360. I think we had everyone in the house singing something. Only I didn't think to take pics. Love yours though.
Posted by: Renee | December 29, 2008 at 07:11 PM
Your family is a mess, hehehe. Were ya'll playing American Idol? We had a BLAST playing on Thanksgiving, and may bust it out for New Year's. ITA with you, I have to be with my kids to ring in the New Year. We are having a kid friendly NYE party at our place this year.
