xmas with Anna and AJ

Today was our last family Christmas and we celebrated it with Anna and AJ before they went home to Milwaukee. We started our day out at the dealership getting the oil changed on the Magnum. Interstingly enough AJ was across the street with his car doing the exact same thing... weird. After that we all met at the China Buffet which is our family's preferred buffet (which is weird to say). Kyra loves it though... if you ask her what she wants to eat she will reply without hesitation... Chinese. I am talking any time of the day or any day of the week... Chinese. So after our meal we headed back to Mom and Dads to play a little Wii while AJ and Anna went to get their cell phones on the same plan. I cant believe they are going to be married in a little over six months! Whoa... We exchanged gifts and had a nice visit before they left. AJ (with help from his sister) got Kyra an excavation kit while mom and dad got her an easy bake oven. Dad won a drawing for a child's gift at work which benefited the Salvation Army. It was awful nice of him but I had to scold him for how much he paid... I guess its a donation though. Nice hot mits Anna... I think Carlos would be jealous


Speaking of donation I just gave 30.00 bucks to the local firefighters of Green Bay... or was it the police. Either way it doesn't matter because all I could think on the phone was "whats the minimum donation?" And "If I don't donate is something bad going to happen to me?" Isn't it sad when you have to feel guilted into giving... there is definitely something wrong there. But luckily if I lock myself out with the stove on I should get some prompt service right?

This is Kyra opening her gift... total excitement!
