Derek's computer is put together! John and Derek worked hard most the day and took one trip to the store but now it's running. It was a lot of hard work but worth the effort. Derek is very pleased with the result.

Juno in the Fountain

At least for Juno it's more of a play fountain then a drinking fountain.

Christmas Continues

More pictures! Both boys got computers :) Max's just plugs his computer in but Derek has to build his. I will show more of those pictures later. Thank you to the Elwailly boys for the Myth Buster experiment labs. Max and Derek are looking forward to playing with them!
Scribbleknots from Gran is awesome. Max is glued to his DS.
Santa left very special T-shirts in our stockings . . .


Grandma and Papa sent Wine for the big kids, Woot! Thanks :) We are excited to taste them. Boys gifts are coming soon, I've been sick (well still kinda sick today) so shopping has been slow. We will definitely put more pics of that later.
Kitties got a gift to, a fountain! Oh and my Bob Bag!! Lovin that. Heh, John's sweater out grew my knitting bag so Santa got me a new one ;)

THANK YOU EVERYONE :) We love you all, have a very Happy Christmas!

Christmas Morning

We are having a quiet but wonderful Christmas. Unfortunately we can not have a fire today because it is a spare the air day :( John and I are a bit put off but we are guessing that today is a huge day for a Christmas fire and that would put a lot of particulates in the air if everyone did it.
Now for the pictures!!!!

As you can see John cleverly placed gifts so Juno could not get to the tree ;)

The Pursey boys decorate the tree

This is a bit late. I had trouble with the upload. We got our tree several weeks early because we were not sure if Juno would climb it. She didn't and for the most part left the ornaments alone.

John and Eva's Night Out

John's Christmas party was last night. It was a lot of fun. We decided it would be better to get a room and stay in San Francisco, so we booked a room at the Hyatt. First we went to a dinner theater but the show was more like vaudeville/circus. It included a five coarse meal and a 3 hour show. It was fantastic. Then we walked down the street to a bar (Butterfly) and mingled til midnight. We got a table at the back and were right on the water. Since it was at night we could not see much but I bet during the day it's awesome.

We could not take pictures at the dinner so we took some in the hotel room. I wish I would have thought to take some in the atrium because they had an amazing light display. This is the first time I've had my hair styled. It was such a hoot. I loved it. John and I matched perfectly. I wore a Christmas tree dress and he wore a red shirt with a Christmas tree tie.

Usually I have made this on the stove top but this time I used the oven. It was cold tonight so the oven helped warm the house. You need to watch it though because it cooks down fast.
Next time I want to try using lamb. I wonder to if I could use chicken.
