More Christmas-ing @ the Gardners

Well, its been a good long while since we've played with ALL the Gardners! After Lauren caught the Amtrak to VA to see her dad and grandparents, we (including BamBam) headed to South Carolina for more Christmas-ing! It was productive and efficient time of post-holiday shopping for Zoe and I as we scored at Old Navy, Pier 1, Kohl's and World Market. She is a crazy mad woman when it comes to shopping.

Also got a chance to meet up with Jenn for dinner and was so good to have girl time! Most of the weekend was a time of football including watching the Skins bite the dust to Dallas. Next year, next year. Dear God, let us have some victory next year.....

I brought my Christmas dinner leftovers and those Gardners know how to clean plate! Zoe and I got a good walk in with the dogs while the hubbies even made it to the gym. There was plenty of mayhem with the Gardner kids especially you know who (BEAR!). Danny and I got to see Josh at swim practice and you can't tell in these pics but that boy is like 8 ft tall now!!!

BamBam and Espy had their usual fun including decimating not one but TWO bo-bos. There was a constant need to clean up bo-bo guts. Those two are in love as they have always been but Bambam is starting to realize that Espy is a much smarter dog than he.....

Thanks Gardners for always treating the Dulins like family!

Christmas Activities and Such

Well we had a most excellent Christmas! Really, it was wonderful and I enjoyed my day with Danny and Lauren who both spoiled me well! (Michael was in WV with his mom). I got a new PINK phone with a "qwerty" keyboard which means I shall text with speediness! Some fine black "house" slippers (Lauren gave me so much grief because I wanted them!), an iPod arm excercise band thing, lots of goodies, etc! Danny got a GPS from me and UNC pjs in preparation for Lauren headed that way!! Oh, and by the way, Lauren actually finished ALL her college applications Christmas afternoon.....

I cooked another turkey and cornbread cranberry dressing again and we had our neighbors Lourie (she is in my Monday night Bible study) and her husband Preston over to join us! It was mighty fine!

Merry Christmas
