Another Christmas Party
Another Christmas party for the family, this time Lyn's family party. It was good to see santa show up and 
Jackie again went and sat on his lap with no problem. There was a pinata and we had some stars in our family I must say. When all the kids were taking some whacks at the doll it didnt seem to move until Laura got up there and gave it a whack, breaking it wide open. Jimmy did the next one knocking it up into the roof. Jack just likes to hit anything with a stick and Catherine was her dainty self.
They once again had the nativity scene. Jimmy was one of the three kings, Laura was .....i forget what they called the people with the sacks on and Catherine was an angel.

Catherine's pre-school Christmas party
We all headed over to Catherines Christmas party at her pre school. she was so happy to have us there. Jack was unbelievable just hanging around in the corner playing with the toys and eating all the chocolate chip cookies. Santa Claus showed up there too and gave Catherine this great shirt. She was also sitting with some boy named Andrew B and her friend Catherine Q.

Whats up December
This cold weather just comes slamming in on us so quickly doesnt it? We really cant complain because we had so many beautiful days in November. Jack and I have gotten into the habit of going out at least once a week when its just he and I in the house all day, at least half the day. He has a girlfriend, the shop owner, at the coffee shop. She stops everything she's doing to come over and pouring Jack's drink. The bad part comes when he wants to eat some coffee cake or muffins. Oh the mess. If he's home he is all over the place, but if its just he and I its do-able. the other day he had done something nutty again and I said "jack !!" and he says to me "Daddy, dont say-you are driving me crazy".
Catherine has been bringing me home great prizes that she makes at school. She loves to be picked up at school by daddy. Alot of the days we are lucky enough to have Karen or Nana pick her up but sometimes I get the honor and it is fun to watch her. Last Friday she and I went out to lunch after I picked her up. I had asked her where she wanted to go and I left it totally up to her as to where we went. Of course she wanted to go to McDonalds for a happy meal. It was good that we went there because we ran into a friend of Grammy Franny's. Lena used to go to Foxwoods with mom and they would share a room. Mom always said she drove her crazy because she would follow her around and look over her shoulder. One thing that mom didnt like was when people followed her around or didnt trust her to be on her own while she was fueling her gambling addiction. The one thing that is hilarious about anywhere we go is that she all of a sudden have to go to the bathroom, like right now. It can get frustrating as hell but she's so cute as she cups her hands and bounces around. so cute I say.
Laura got me to sign up to volunteer again this week. She's so funny at night when she tries to suck me into lying in her bed and doing whatever she wants me to do. I'm thinking she knows how to play daddy. She'll say "daddy, can I talk to you"...and of course I cannot say no to her.
James has been doing baseball and basketball again. Obviously it is indoor baseball. He's just doing a hitting clinic but he's loving it. On Saturday he plays basketball. He hustles his heart out but unfortunately he gets his father's basketball genes. He was playing against Claytons team this week and of course he was doing his usual trash talking with him. they are good kids.

I'm a lucky birthday boy
I was at the family christmas party yesterday and someone asked me how old i was going to be tomorrow. i told them I was going to be 35. The bartender was confused because he had played football with me thirty years ago and couldnt understand how I could be in the same league, same age group as he was while I was such a young age. I guess that is what you call "Busted" !!

Photos from Turkey week 2009
There was such great weather this Thanksgiving week we just couldnt stay inside the house during the days we had off. Jack, Catherine and I once again went running around to different places on Daddy days. Running from pancake place to the coffee shop and then to Black Gordon makes a busy busy day.
