We spent Christmas Day at my mom and dad's. It was nice to all be together; though I admit I was very ornery, very fed up with Copper, and pretty much snapped at everyone. Copper + two days of stimulation and excitement + late night and early morning = an impatient Cassie. Ignorning what doesn't matter = fail. Sigh.
On the bright side, we really are blessed to have such wonderful family. My parents must have cooked all night and day- we had ham, potatoes, yams, shrimp, veggies, rolls, salads, and lots of things to munch on. Yummy!
I got this very cool pasta maker attachment for my Kitchen Aid mixer. I am excited to try homemade ravioli, and filling it with shrimp and cream cheese. Yum. Tim and I also got a DVD player, which is really great since we've never had one. Now we don't have to play movies through the XBox and cross our fingers they'll work.
Tyrel and his wife Amber gave us a great present- a new baby for next fall! Now my bro and Tim's bro are both expecting next August. Fun! Ty says if it's another girl for the family, he's selling her on the black market. Maybe it's time to have a little Beck boy running around, not wearing pink and dreaming of Disney princesses. Though, we are training Copper to be the black sheep of the little granddaughters- she'll like skid steers, dirt, and jungle animals.
Now that I'm home, and Copper is in bed (yes- before seven o'clock), I'm relaxed and sad that I was so on edge all day today. Luckily Copper is forgiving. She still smiles at me and throws her hands in the air when she sees me. It's cute. :)

You sound like a very normal mom. Aren't you grateful for second chances? Love latest posts.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Christmas as a mom--tired. I joked with Shawn about being ready to spend the next 48 hours awake on Christmas eve. I am excited for your brother and Tim's. Babies are so fun--Loved your Christmas card too.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the smiley photos of Copper- just remember that part. She is such a sweet, cute little baby. I want to give her a big squeeze...
