LOL I personally like the “shrunk to 2″ tall” request – might add that to my list next year. What better excuse is there to NOT do housework!?

She’s adorable, what a cute picture. I always wished I had a girl, but nooOOOoo. The up side, I suppose, is never having a TEENAGE girl, lol.

Again, merry Christmas, my Texas friend.

Merry Christmas to you and your family, Jannie! I was hoping for a Wii Fit myself — I think they look like so much fun. But so far, no Wii… I did, however, receive a Best Buy gift card, so I think I know how to spend it..

Sooo CUTE! My nephews went a bit bizzerk. Then they mellowed out. Tucker keeps leaving little gifts in my mom and bro’s houses. Gross. I think that’s his way of telling me he’s a bit thrown off his routine…heh. But all in all he’s doing pretty good and loves his new toys!

Jannie, you know I listened to some of your songs when i first started checking out your space here, but I have never really mentioned it to you. The words made me laugh out loud, but you have an incredibly beautiful voice. So my question to you is what is gonna happen when you become famous? Are you going to desert us? You are developing quite a following here. If you ever decide to come to Nashville let me know.

Mom, stop taking pictures and let me open presents! Hehe, just kidding. Looks like it was a fabulous day! Your tree and the presents look beautiful!

Those last two items are so adorable! Sometimes I want to be 2″ tall, too!

Anonny Mouse: Who are you, you masked bandit??

Erin: Yeah, “I’m only 2″ tall, I can’t reach the sink let along sling a dish cloth.”

Tammy: Yes, Kelly is still very much a Santa believer, tho I’ll have to be careful with my gift tags next year, she said out loud that Santa’s cursive is a lot like mine. Whoops.

Shay: You had to remind me about those upcoming teen years. Nah, they will be full of joy and light. Annony Mouse, hauntingly familiar, ain’t he (she?)

Davina: Mischievious Angel! Wnat a perfect moniker for her. Baby sister next year? Probably not, alas.

Lisa: Greetings to you too! I might look at at Wii Fit for me someday, would be cool to get a good used one. I am assuming that each workout is unique and I really like that idea as opposed to a static DVD.

Karyn: She told me that I must not tell you guys about the 2″ request, but if she changes her mind I’ll for sure let you know. Did you have a good holiday?

Mia: The wine is all here at our house. Actually, I was into the White Russians quite liberally yesterday, starting around 10:00. Whee-hoo.

Best Christmas: You have entered the “Totally Somebody now” zone. Expect strange, but often desirable things, whoever you are.

Thomma Lyn: We had a merry, merry little Christmas, thanks. And you? It is funny that she wants to be shrunk as she is already very very petite for her age.

Vered: Best of the season to you too! Imagine – wanting an i-Phone! Her dad nor I don’t even have one.

Weyrd1: Dogs can sure be funny with leaving little gifts. I had a friend who pissed off her dog and he left a little present on her pillow!!

Miles: Soemthign tells me when you were 7 your imagination was more than working overtiemd.

Tammy: Why, thank you about my voice and songs and all. If you’ll still have me when I’m famous among hundreds, I’ll be here blogging away.

Cindy: No we didn’t get out there last night, after all. What did we do last night? I can’t even remember. oh yeah, played board games. And went to bed at 9:00 when Kelly did, was so tired. And feeling FAT!!! All that Christmas munching and lack of regular exercise.

Caity: Thank you. I do like that photo too, the golden aura. She was up and raring to get going on them pressies, which she dug into shortly after I took that.

Talon: I guess my Christmas wish list would’ve been for less than I have. A smaller house, maybe a log cabin in the woods. (I’m currently reading “The Shack”. Well not at this very moment, obviously. You know what I mean. )

Carla: I realized later her list was actually much longer as she had made a revised one. Oy vey.

Snag: We just hooked up her Wii a couple hours ago and she is playing away as I type this. And she’s getting the hang of it. Really making me want a Wii Fit, watching her jump around. She’s evevn asked for a glass of water so I know she’s getting exercised.

Georgie B: You are so sweet to pop in. What you doing on your vacation?

Rachel: It is so great to cross paths with you again too!! Your little guy is getting so big! Will be nice ot keep up with you again.

Jennifer: I’ll be 45 soon and jim 67. I think one little angel will be it for us. But I suppose we could try working on it, anyway.

Sheila: Thank you on our floor. Mexican saltillo for a buck a square foot we installed about 9 years ago. Easy to keep clean! The more we add-on and remodel the house, the more we go for tile / wood and not carpet.

Well, little buddies, what is Jannie going to do next??? Hmmn, I’ll never tell.

But first, I think I still had a couple of comments to answer on older posts.

Tammy: yeah, her comment kind of freaked me out but once she saw the Wii, she was okay because she knows Mom and Dad would never get her an expensive thing like that.

MamaZ: See may have to get 10 Wiis to make up for not having a baby sister.

Anonny Mouse: Thanks for dropping by again, you mysterious varmint.

Dot: Yeah, I know how to stack ‘em for maximum photo advantage, don’t I? Seasons Best to you too!!

Jim: Yeah, would cut down on the food bill but could up the hospital ones if we were to step on her.

Merry, merry, and I am still working on the teenage years with 3 girls and the youngest 22 (well, maybe 13?)

2 Bought their own Wii this year! and one got a Blackberry Storm….that was it so not a good stack around the tree!

We all got lots and lots of snow and it is still coming – so I will pause from eating cookies to hope you all had a great celebration and a Happy New Year to come.

That is one smart kiddo…so happy she still believes.. and she is her own elf! Aren’t you lucky, lucky!

I always made sure I wrote cursive, n Santa printed upper-case only letters- it worked.
Watch out, her friends may be making her suspiscious!

My Son-in-law got Wii a year ago, n made all of us little profile people so we can log on when ever to play-
I haven’t had any time to try it yet- the kids keep me very busy!

Snag: I usually have a printing kind of hand but once in a while I send her school notes in cursive and tho I thought I’d really tried to disguise it, I guess the real me shone through. Whoops. But got out unscathed, I think.

Wesley: it came with the sports package and I’ve tried it a bit. Fun. She’s getting relaly quite good at it. I might get her the Cheer game in a while but am not allowing any games that don’t involve her moving both arms and legs at once. No sitting down ones!
