Better Late than Never

Merry Christmas!  Happy New Year!  Happy Valentine's Day, oh what we haven't gotten to that holiday yet.  I know I'm a slacker friend, blogger, updater, Christmas card sender, etc.  Well I'm back now and here are some updates as to what we did over the holidays and just generally what we have been up to.  
1.  We got a Wii for Christmas...yeah!!!
2.  We spent Christmas with my family and had a Wii-lympics event over the course of a couple of days.  Our games were complete with opening, closing and medal ceremonies.
3.  My birthday was celebrated by seeing Bedtime Stories with my whole family the day before and having Double Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake for my birthday cake on my birthday.  
4.  We spent New Year's Eve with our friends the Padilla's and played some Guitar Hero World Tour.  Lots of fun and laughs with the drums and vocals in particular.
5.  Dustin, David and I went to see The Tale of Despereaux and out to lunch for our Christmas gift from my Grandpa.  It was so fun, the movie was cute and of course the food was good!  We later went to Barnes and Nobel to buy the book.
6.  Dustin and I celebrated my birthday by going to the Buell Theater to see Jersey Boys.  It was great!  We loved it!  We also noted that Wicked will be at the Buell in October/November so if we are still in Colorado we are so there!
Pictures will be coming as soon as I get them loaded.

i saw all your wii-lympicas on facebook--so much fun!
and i posted the soda cracker candy recipe on my blog, so you'll have to grab it (YUM!)
i heard that Jersy Boys was great but the language was well, um---you know, you were there.
and i would LOVE to go and see wicked as well (i think that if you want to go, you have to get tickets like, now!) i put the bug in my mom's ear that that could be my b-day and Christmas for this year---i would be very happy with tickets to see that
