It's Christmas Eve

As I sit and watch my favorite Christmas movie "Preacher's Wife", I am reminding myself to slow down and enjoy my family. Dudley says in the movie "Our time here on earth is precious" . He works hard to make Henry Biggs realize that. I wish all my friends a Merry Christmas. Enjoy the time you have with your family. God bless you...Dios les bendiga.

Vacation

We have been on vacation this week. We have gone nowhere. Actually that is not true, we have gone shopping many times. We went twice to the town center. It is so pretty there. The place is all lit up with Christmas lights. The thing I like the best is it doesn't matter how many people are there it doesn't seem crowded. Everything is outside and spread out. Some of the stores are high end but it is still very nice to go there. It has a Disney World feel.

Tonight we went to St. Augustine. It was lit up as well. It was a little disappointing because the Bridge of Lions was under construction. Jimmy got an ipod for Christmas. He plans to get rid of his big stereo system by buying a small set of speakers for the ipod and storing all his music on it. Technology is great. I also got my Christmas present early...a kitchen aid. I have been using it to make Christmas gifts. It does everything except remind me to grease the pan or add the oatmeal which can cause problems with my baking. All in all I really love it.

Briana turns 19 tomorrow. I can hardly believe it. She is so grown. She heads back to Argentina 2 weeks from Saturday. Her time at home has flown by.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas from the Tyson Clan.

Wow have we been busy

Since Briana has gotten home, we have been quite busy. Por su puesto, we have been shopping alot. We have put up our Christmas decorations inside and the lights outside. This week alone, we have already had two parties. There are two scheduled for today. We are only attending one.

Last night we picked up Andrea's Christmas present...a beagle. She is adorable and is named Nala. Daddy hasn't chosen the nickname yet. He always comes up with a good one. I will post pictures with stories later. Bella is being quite snobby, but that is not unsual.
