Christmas was W O N D E R F U L !!!

I have been reading a lot of blogs lately. They all are so eloquently written, spiritual and inspirational. I have no problem with that, and I do enjoy reading them. But lately, I've been feeling a little lonely here on my blog. I haven't been getting any comments. I guess my blog isn't that "spiritual or inspirational" for some bloggers.

Like I said in my very first post, this blog is for me. This is my journal, so I have something to look back on when my kids are older, to help me vent, and sometimes I really need to do that.

I'm not the best writer, (and my sister is probably agreeing with me as she reads this post) but I do enjoy it, for me! So, if I've been "boring" you all, and not posting "inspirational" topics, it's just not me....my Dad was the preacher, not me. I am more the "sarcastic funny one" all my friends and family know me as that. From time to time there will be a "little inspirational piece".....but more about my family and me. That's why my blog is called......"A day in the life of Liz"......not "Your daily inspiration from Liz".....Ha, that sure doesn't sound like me! Enough said, I sure hope you leave comments, I sure have missed them. Here's a little post about our Christmas here at the Somma's. enjoy!

Well, Christmas is over, what a wonderful time we had here in the Somma household! We all woke up early, Davey was up by 6am! Had to drag Becca out of bed, unusual for her, but she's a preteen now. We started opening our gifts, and what a delight it was watching our kids open them all, and expressing their happiness. Hubby loved his gifts as well. My hubby surprised me....and what a nice way of doing so. All the gifts were done, and just the stockings were left. Well, I went into the kitchen to get another cup of coffee and came back into the living room, and there it was for me. First I opened the stocking stuffer, and it was one of those memory cards for my camera. I said "what do I need this for?" Then Hubby said "here, open this one!" Wow, what a surprise, a new digital camera! I love it...and it's RED! My favorite color. Thank you Hubby. Don't forget my birthday is coming in February!

Becca got the Uggs she wanted, and much more..........

Davey got the Geo Trax Airport that he wanted...and much more..............

Hubby got Madden Football for the Wii, and a little more....

Then we packed up and went to my brother's house for the day. On the way, we traveled to the cemetery to visit with Dad. It was cold, and his grave was covered with snow. We couldn't even make our way to his grave. So, I got back into the car, and Becca and my nephew Michael went to the grave. Dad's body is in that grave, not his spirit, that's another post...and hey, maybe I will even get "spiritual" on that one!

Anyway, we had a very nice time at my brother's house. All in all our Christmas was wonderful. I still have all the decorations up. I'm not one to take them down before New Years. Yes I know Christmas is over, wow how fast it came, and then over.

Pictures of us on Christmas Eve..............Enjoy!
