2010

Everyone ready to ring in the new year? Can you believe 2010? Where has all the time gone to? Well another year...bring it on. We will welcome it with waffles here at the Mayfield house. Happy New Year to all.

Well done little man

So how do you fail a test one day and get 100% the next. Congratulations to the newest licensed driver in the family. His idea of assuring me it was okay was to tell me that Sydney didn't pass it the first time either. "Remember Mom?" So does this mean he looks up to Sydney and is trying to be like her? Lol. Ya, I'm sure that's it.

being the designated parent

How did I get to be the designated parent to take Jordan to the DMV to take his driver's license? How come I gotta take him when it's cold and foggy out...and with a dusting of snow? How come? They gotta drive in it sometime but why with me? We did okay until we hit Mac and there was a good coating of snow on the road. Seems just to be in the area of the DMV...well, it began by Winco. Cars are crawling, you know, other drivers are being safe. Taking it slow. Oh not my son. Yikes. I made it to DMV, a bit stressed, but there. Now someone else gets a turn. But guess what, the DMV guy came back safe & sound. Alive. Seems he did alright. So why is it he didn't pass the knowledge test? Try, try again. We will do this over tomorrow. You all are safe for another day, enjoy.

Post Christmas exhaustion

Christmas excitement is still in the air...we managed to avoid the day after Christmas shopping but the kids did want to get to the mall to spend their gift cards. Jordan got new shoes, big surprise huh? And Sydney, jeans. A fairly quick stop that wasn't too painful. A successful trip! I don't even think our outing was four hours with a stop for lunch and the two of them came in the door and headed to Jordan's room for a nap. I think they are catching up on the sleep they lost Christmas eve. That was a sleepless night while they waited up for Santa!

Mayfield Movie Day

Another annual movie day with the family. Very much fun...funny movie, popcorn and candy. Got to give the kids all the bells and whistles. If only they would have heated the theater. (Maybe Regal is learning how to cut costs from the Cameo.) Dinner, games and chocolate fondue. That was equally as much fun and we could warm ourselves by the fire. Thanks for the hospitality Sunnycrest Mayfields!

Jenni

I like Jenni :0) So much so, that she has this post all to herself!

Merry Christmas!

Three days before Christmas...lots to do still. Wrapping mostly, ugh. Don't really mind wrapping either but it's just the getting started. I'd rather check facebook, drink cider, play solitaire, text... Well, you get the idea.

Santa is on his way. Merry Christmas! And don't forget to eat a piece of cake to celebrate Christ's birth.

...the angel said,"Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord."
