The Pig Pen

I'm the last person I thought would ever create a blog. It's my lame attempt to give my family and friends a means of keeping up with my goings on and those of my kids. This way, I can prove I haven't fallen off the earth and that I do think of you all often.. even if I don't show it. Here goes!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!














Merry Christmas! I hope you all had an enjoyable day surrounded by loved ones and all that good holiday stuff!

Ahhhhh the kiddies are in bed!! Was a busy day here! That glum 'it's over' feeling is starting to fade. Yes, I still get that feeling as an adult. I think so much goes in to making the day 'perfect', which is impossible - we are imperfect beings. I wonder why we put such pressure on ourselves? Funny, isn't it? Spent the day with the kids and it was crazy and quick. Teri and the boys (sister and nephews) stopped by for a bit this afternoon. Doug was unable to join us due to work, but should be here in the next 2 weeks. He spent the day with friends, Birdie and Des, in Seattle (where he's been working).

Michaela has a flight to NC @ 7am. Which means I'll need to have her there at about 5:30am. YIKES!! Teri says the airport has been just super crazy. She'll return in the afternoon on the 31st.

A few Hogg Holiday stats:

  1. got to sleep 'til 8am! (New Christmas morning record!)
  2. Placed 18 batteries in various toys
  3. Filled 3 garbage bags with bows, wrap and cardboard
  4. Of said bags, number dug through looking for lost gift card: 2
  5. Took kids to Mass. Alex sat relatively still! (Christmas miracle?)
  6. Worst gift to assemble: Griffin's new water dish
  7. Best gift kids got: "Super Fort" by Cranium

    Yup...that's Princess Teri! And the boys at the bottom, Mike who's 9(on left) and Nick who's 10 (r)are her youngest boys. Her eldest, Daniel (15), was pictured by the woodstove @ my dad's house in previous entry.
