Keri & Company: December 2008

Happy Holidays!

Sunday, December 28, 2008

I haven't blogged for awhile! Since my last blog entry, we've had another snow day (yea!) which fell on the Friday right before Xmas break week and Christmas has come and gone! It's been a wonderful break from work and I'm glad I've got a full week yet to relax. Here are some pics and vids I've taken in the past few weeks.

Friday, December 19th- Snow Day #2!!
I really think Matt enjoys snow days as much as I do. He was ecstatic to get out and shovel! This time we slept in a little before heading out instead of getting up at 5:30 to tackle the snow.

Stanny of course loves the snow too.

Thursday, December 25th - Christmas Day
Matt and I were quite the travelers this Xmas. It all started at Jeano's sister Sue's house in Fond du Lac, then to the Gillett's in Rosendale on Weds. night. On Thursday, we had Zankmas with Papa Steve and Mama Jeano and Bradley at our house. After that we headed back to Rosendale for the Zimmerman family Christmas. Still after that, we headed to Jeano's sister Carol's house for a gathering and then finally went home for some needed rest. Friday we went to Bradley's bachelor pad for another Zankmas. We are exhausted!!

I think in all of the excitement of traveling around and getting some awesome gifts (thanks again for the pillow!!) I totally forgot about taking pictures until our second trip to Rosendale when Matthew reminded me to bring my camera. I apologize to those whose pics I didn't take, but I remind you not to worry as you WILL be published on this blog in good time - all in good time my dears (hehehehe).

Dad was very excited for Christmas. He's giddy as a little boy to get presents!

Mommy gets into ripping gifts apart too.

It looks like Bud lost the lower half of his body into the floor.

Erin still holds her post as "Santa" at the Zimmerman Xmas.

Sammi is tuckered out from a long day of playing with Stan the man.

Stanny had a turn at opening a gift for Xmas. Though the quality of the video isn't the best, you can still feel the Christmas spirit in this little dog's body.

Bye bye 20's!

Monday, December 15, 2008

Here I am...30 years ago exactly today. Yes, today is my birthday.

Last night there was a surprise party thrown for me by my sis, hubby and good pal, Kelly. It was a pleasant surprise and well needed. Thanks everyone! I guess they say that 30 is the new 25. Ugh, whatever. All I know is that time is flying by and there's too much I need to get done. To all who wished me a "Happy B-day" - Thank you! Thanks also for the cards, gifts and well wishes. You all are great! Love ya!

Tuesday, Dec. 9th - SNOW DAY!!

Tuesday, December 9, 2008

As I know all of you are aware, Snow Storm Carter blew through town today. And as many of my teacher buddies know, even the mention of a Winter Weather Warning gets us excited for a potential snow day! Being that I work in FDL schools, we don't always have the luxury of having snow days as much as a district like Rosendale, but when my tired eyes opened at 5:00a.m. in anticipation, I couldn't hold my excitement in as I saw "Fond du Lac public schools Closed" flash across the screen!

SNOW DAY!!!

You couldn't wipe the grin off my face today! I know we have to make it up, but I DON'T CARE!!

Matthew experienced his first snow day in YEARS! He didn't have to go in this morning either!!

After our 5:30a.m. shoveling adventure, we decided to kick back and sip some screwdrivers to celebrate. Then we cooked ourselves a nice big breakfast at around 10:30, took a nap and then hit the driveway again since the snow just wouldn't stop falling!
