Well my baby is no longer a baby. As of January 7th, Caitlin or as we like to call her Caitybug, is 16. My sweet little girl is growing up. We had a great birthday dinner with Nanna and Pawpaw the night before her birthday. Once again Mom put on a great spread of turkey, sausge dressing (which according to my husband I really need the recipe) mashed potatoes, peas, biscuits, and Cherry Angle Delight - YUM. On Caity's birthday Troy treated us to dinner at Texas Roadhouse where he made sure that our waiter was well aware of Caity's birthday. At the end of the evening, the staff came up and announced to the entire restaurant that it was Caity's birhthday and that we all needed to shout a Yee Haw just for her. Her face was a lovely shade of red. To top off the birthday week, we hosted an ice skating party today with many of Caity's friends from school. Had a great time. No injuries!! (see Caity with the black and white scarf).

Tim sent this picture of his back yard and sent a request for sandbags. Needless to say, the zip-line is out of service.

Up and at them at 5. getting ready for 7:30 Mass, Mom is playing this morning we will be having breakfast with the Carr's etc. We both are almost back to normal, I think........

The Day After the Day After

Mom and I are rehabiliating today. We had a fantastic holiday with most of the family. I am throwing out decorations that we have not" used for the last number of years, finishing off the great treats that were left( tassies, popcorn, dip, chips, manhattans, scotch etc. We have collected a large bag of used wraping paper and odd boxes( the trash man is going to have a ball next Tue.) Since the family didn't eat all the shrimp, we tried to eat all of them today.
Bo is pooped!!!!!!!!!Thanks to all of the family for a great Christmas.
