We're so exicited. The only pics I have are from the listing, but here they are. I'll post more when I can get in and take my own pics.

I'll should know definitely that I got it at the beginning of the week, and pending the inspection, it's mine!!! I'll post pictures soon, but for now, here's pic of my new bed!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

What a week! Christmas was good. I had to work a half day on Christmas Eve, which kind of sucked, but it wasn't too bad since it was my last day before vacation. After work, we went to church with Melanne and Natalie. After church we went to mom's for dinner then home to open presents! We always get new jammies on Christmas Eve and they open their presents from me and I open my presents from them. They got me a new camera! What great kids I have!!! LOL The it was off to bed to wait for Santa. The kids were up at 5:30!!! I made them say in bed until 7 and then the wrapping paper went flying!!! We went to mom's for presents and breakfast and had a great time with the family. When we got home, I decided I was going to help the kids clean their rooms and put their new stuff away. Well, they got sick of cleaning and six hours later I was done!! Then my vacation started. Maddie came over on Sunday and stayed until Wednesday morning. Surprisingly they seemed to be getting along, but I can always tell when it's time for Maddie to leave, they all start nit-picking everything. Wednesday night Raven went to her friend Eden's grandma's house for a little New Year's party. That left Michael and me to fend for ourselves. Michael spent the day with my dad and then we went to Melanne's for a fun night of Candyland, Sorry, Operation and Yatzee! Life in the fast lane...can't beat it!

Today we went and saw the movie Bedtime Stories. That is the funniest movie I've seen in a long time! I highly recommend it. It is so funny, I had tears in my eyes. It was a good end to a great vacation.

Honeysett Family Christmas

Last Saturday was our family Christmas. We had it as St. Margaret School in Otsego. We had a great time. Jess and Cindy made it back safely from their Eurpean adventure and were there. Uncle Joe was even there!! It was really good to see them. Well, it was good to see everyone! I'm so glad that I have such a large family, they are so much fun...some are a little crazy, but ya gotta love 'em. So here are some pics of my family. My mom and her brothers and sisters. Noticably, we are missing Uncle Mitch who, unfortunately for us, lives in Las Vegas and couldn't make it this year. We are hoping that he and Aunt Karen will be able to make it next year. We missed them very much!! Also missing is Uncle Mike. He, is in heaven and has been for gosh...14 years, where does the time go. There were a few cousins missing and a few great grandkids, but this is the bulk of us. I tell everyone that we're like a small southern town. There's a whole mess of us and we all know what's going on in each other's lives. Sometimes that's good, sometimes, not so much. But the best thing about having a big family is there is always some to talk to and always someone to help when you need it. I wouldn't change coming from a huge family for anything in the world. THE HONEYSETT'S ROCK!!!

Michael's Birthday Party

Didn't think I was going to post pics? Well here are some from Michael's party at Chuck E. Cheese. We had a great time and Michael loved having fun with his friends.

MICHAEL IS 8!!

Ok, so it was two days ago, sue me! He had a great birthday, after having a week of for Thanksgiving break, it snowed like crazy Sunday night and he had a snow day on his birthday!! He was pretty excited about not having to go to school on his birthday. Despite the crappy weather, we went to Olive Garden for dinner. He had been bugging to go there for a long time, so we went. We had a great dinner. He was disappointed that they didn't have rootbeer in a bottle anymore, but that disappointment didn't last long, especially when they brought him his huge bowl of gelato!
The next morning, he looked in the mirror and was very disappointed that he didn't look any different! He thought that because he got a year older, he should have grown or something. I tried to make himi understand that it doesn't work that way. I've been the same height since eight grade!!
All in all it was a good birthday and is going to be better because his party is this Saturday at Chuck E. Cheese!! This will be his first birthday party with friends, he's really excited. I'll post pics (I promise!!) after the party.

RAVEN IS 10!!

Ravey turned 10 on the 10th, and she couldn't be happier to be in double digits! We went to Applebee's for her birthday dinner and had some good food! Then last Saturday we had a party for her with the family. She is a HUGE fan of Pink and wanted to get her hair cut like her...so I let her and here it is! Isn't she cute!!
