Keep Blogging!

I just read this article in Salon.com "Why I Can't Stop Reading Mormon Housewife Blogs" . It gave me a well needed laugh for the morning. I guess we all need to keep blogging for those "over-educated feminist atheist" women out there. So keep it up ladies.

If you haven't read it already you need to go read it. It is fabulous.

January Stuff

These are just some random pictures of the goings on this month.

Retro day at the girls school. We were channeling the 80's.

David's cake car for the Cub Scouts pinewood derby. What can I say? David doesn't do anything half-way.

This is E.V.'s idea of playing with her toys.

New Years 2011

For my Christmas present David took me to Denver for New Years. Don't look for the kids in the pictures because they weren't there. David's parents were kind enough to take them. It was awesome.

We went to the Denver Art Museum to see the King Tut exhibit. It was so much fun.

King Tut was even posing for pictures.

We stayed in a fabulous hotel David scored for us on Priceline. David is a Priceline wizard.

We found this really cute Indian restaurant. The booths had curtains and a dozens of pillows which you had to sit on cross legged. The food was great and with the Sitar player strumming softly in the corner the atmosphere was perfect. One of the best Christmas presents ever.

Christmas 2010

So much to our surprise, you can actually dream of a white Christmas here in New Mexico. OK so it snowed a week before Christmas and then it all melted away within 2 days. Which, in my opinion is the best kind of snow. It stayed just long enough for school to be canceled, the kids to play in it, and me to sit by the Christmas tree watching it fall through the window.

David's parents spent Christmas with us which was wonderful. Christmas Eve we did a nativity play. But since we were a little short on boys we all had a part. It was very...unique.

E.V. loved opening presents but the stockings were by far her favorite.

Is E.V. just full of holiday joy? No, she's just full of candy canes that she stole off the tree. She then proceeded to hide behind the table and eat them.
