I can honestly say I am very excited for it to be over!! It was a success in our house, w/out sounding "braggish" Ethan was spoiled with more Lego's, arts & crafts and some "electronics" that he wanted and lots of wood/metal projects for him and his dad. Helps that my dad got him his own tools!! Jocelyn got a new baby (her name is Reilly) and she has her own stroller, playpen, swing, high chair and diaper bag.... so Joce is in LOVE! My dad sent her a pop up tent, I know your thinking "whats the big deal" the big deal is, it is HUGE! It fits around her bed...pictures do no justice!!! Thanks dad and Kathy!!! =)
I can't wait to start taking the Christmas stuff down and letting them make their way back up to the attic. This weekend the tree will be down, the decoration will be gone, the only thing that will be up is Ethan & Jocelyn's new Nativity Scene from their FL g-parents. But that is out of the way and not as big as a TREE! LOL!!
Jason spoiled me, I got all new cooking gadgets and a FONDUE set (ohh I wanted it so bad) I feel like I spoiled him as well.
I hope every ones Holidays were pleasant! Can't wait for the New Year to be here and 2 weeks later I will have a 2 yr old!! My baby girl!!! =-)

Having a day!
Did you ever just have one of those days were you want to cry.... really for no reason but you know you want too?
I woke up like that today, but went to bed like that last night...
LORD help me ... its gonna be a day!
I love what Jason does and I am proud of him in every way. I love living in a different state, it fun. BUT I miss my family, I miss Jason's family, I miss my friends, I miss my god-daughter, who I get to see what once a year. I miss seeing Kaylen and Ryan grown up. I miss everyone spending time with my kids.
This is definitely one of those "cons" on the list but I know its just because of the holidays and not being able to get away any time soon. This all started the other day when we (Jay and myself) tried to book a Disney vacation for the 4Th yr in a row. We realized that Feb was out, due to me. March was out, due to Jay, April...APRIL worked..so he went to work and NOOOOOO the next time he could take leave and actually leave island is ..... JULY! WHO THE FUCK wants to go to Disney in JULY! Not this Irish skin momma, I can tell you that. SO once again, we have to call Dawn & Aaron and tell them to have fun without us and hopefully in 09! I just want to be the 1st person to take my kids to Disney. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok ... that's it. I am not having a moment, time to shake it off, put back on my smile and go get ready for work, "Good Morning, Ryder Electric, This is Elizabeth, how can I help you" =)

Flying Santa
Flying Santa:
Friends of Flying Santa, Inc. was formed in 1997 to help ensure the future of the annual Christmas flights to New England lighthouses. The aerial visits of Flying Santa to lighthouses and lifesaving stations have been a New England tradition since 1929. Capt. William Wincapaw of Friendship, Maine - an aviation pioneer - began the flights as a gesture of recognition to the dedicated lighthouse keepers and their families as well as the crews of the lifesaving stations. Capt. Wincapaw and his son, Bill, Jr., continued the flights for close to two decades. The father and son team eventually recruited legendary author and historian Edward Rowe Snow to assist them with their expanding list of lights and boat stations. After Capt. Wincapaw's passing in 1947, the mantle was passed to Mr. Snow, who faithfully carried on the tradition for over four decades. With the help of his wife Anna-Myrle and their daughter, Dolly, the isolated residents of lighthouses throughout North America continued to receive visits from the "aerial St. Nick"
Today, through fund-raising and public outreach, the Friends work to continue the flights and carry on this gesture of gratitiude to the men, women and families of the United States Coast Guard who keep watch over our coastal waters. Thousands of hours are volunteered each year to ensure the success of our helicopter flights which now encompass over 33 stops including 45 Coast Guard units from Maine to New York.
Friends of Flying Santa remains committed to bringing this annual gift of holiday cheer to the families of the United States Coast Guard here in New England. With the establishment of our scholarship program for Coast Guard dependents, our mission continues to grow. As long as there are boat station crews, aids to navigation teams and other units serving to keep our waters safe, we will do our part to remind them of how much their work is appreciated.
If you are a fan of lighthouses and maritime history or just wish to show your appreciation for the work and dedication of the United States Coast Guard, please support the Friends and become a part of a great New England holiday tradition.

Fast Forward to today: He came and our kids saw him. Ethan said he felt too big to sit on Santa's lap and Jocelyn wanted NOTHING to do with him, she kept yelling "no HO HO!" =)
