What a GREAT couple of weeks we had at the Ball household during our break from school. Alyssa got to come home for 2 weeks, we (well everyone except poor Bill) got to sleep in past 7:00, we ate what we wanted (when we wanted, then made more of what we craved, and are now paying the price...), we had a great Christmas day (it didn't even start until 7!), saw some excellent movies, got to take a rockin' body core fit class several times with Gayla (boohoo she only teaches at 9:00 and, unfortunately, I'm teaching school. Drat.), drove 2 hours to a natural hot springs, sat in the lovely water for an hour, then turned around and drove 2 hours home (I'll do anything for Alyssa...), had a great New Year's Eve with our extremely FUN friends (laughed and laughed and laughed some more!), and just relaxed knowing that the end of this much needed vacation would come way too soon.
I would love to show some really fun pictures of all these events, but for some reason, my camera is being fickle. I took tons of pictures but they are no more. Sigh. Tears. Sigh. Hopefully my techie daughter who attends school in another state will be willing to provide some tech support for her computer challenged mother. Huh, Lyss?
The following pictures will have to suffice. More will be added later if I can somehow retrieve them from cyberland.....
Wii Sports Resort and the nightly three point contest...
Reaction to Axe body wash, shampoo, and cologne. Yeah, he's 11.
My favorite picture of the kids - in the middle of our Christmas trash.
Checking out the new pillow-memory foam. Aaaaahhhh.
For some reason, Kourtni had way more presents than anyone else...
A new cell phone! Whooppee! Hopefully Mom can remember her number...
My new toy - a Macbook! I love to use it while reclining on the couch or in bed or eating my oatmeal, or cleaning the bathroom...
We've all been good this year!
Santa delivered WIFI to us and so we're all taking advantage of it! Except Bill - the cat's enough for him...
Traditional Christmas Eve dinner - pizzaaaaa!
Wow - it's a good thing all those other pictures were lost in cyberspace! That's a lot of photos...

Natural hot springs. Now that is something I missed over the holidays and am now deeply regretting it. You lucky gal! Definitely worth the long drive. I should look for those here in TX.
What a great Christmas! I am so jealous of your new Macbook. We have a Mac desktop that I LOVE, but I have to fight for every second I am on it. I want my own!!!
Looks like the Balls had a great Christmas!
How fun to see your christmas! Gees you are a spoiled girl getting a mac notebook. You deserve it i guess! I love the pizza tradition.
