keeping up with the ka"POW"skis...you know you wish you were as cooL as us!: 2010

dear readers and family and people that are blog stalkers (because you know i don't like you, but i'm too nice to block my blog...because my life is SO wonderful and i like to flaunt that fact ;)),
christmas was great :) we stayed at bart's parent's house last night and his aunt lisa and uncle dan (my all time favorites) came over (they live in california, but they visit most every holiday) and they brought their youngest son, tim(berly according to bart) and his girlfriend, angie...who are also adorable. we did the whole christmas eve story time with grandpa tom and maddi opened some pajamas. this morning talene, jeff, kam, brin, and aydo showed up WAY TOO EARLY ;) and we started opening presents! mad got herself a sweet (indoor) trampoline and a little four wheeler...and LOTS of clothes, dvds, shoes, and surprisingly not a lot of toys (she has way too many any ways...and i don't like cleaning them up) all of which she enjoyed (is still enjoying) very much...so did the other little girls. they have all been sitting/jumping/punching each other out in the tramp all day...i love it. bart got himself a mighty fine scope and some POWER tools and a george foreman and a vaccum for his 16 birds... (LOL) and some clothes. i think (i'm not really sure because bart is VERY hard to read) that he enjoyed his gifts. i read a whole wizard book today...it was excellent. i have not read ANYTHING interesting (or really read anything at all) since the begining of summer semester...and i am SO GLAD TO BE OUT OF SCHOOL on winter break. i ate the majority of a large pumpkin role today...it was fantastical...stevie and k-fed made it...and i LOVED that thing...so did bart's fam...thanks again ste-B. we had lunch with stevie and kev yesterday before we came to bart's parent's house...it was way way good...and stevie made maddi the CUTEST tag blanket. she slept with that thing wrapped around her neck all last night. and talene made her one too that she opened this morning...it is SO cute. i really like these tag blankets! i informed bart this morning that he would be in charge of christmas next year...i will only buy gifts for he and mad...and he is in charge of what i have done for 2 years now...lol...we will see how that turns out next year...i think he will do alright to tell the truth...he just needs encouragement. i did not send out christmas cards this year...i was WAY WAY busy with school and work and maddi and trying to get other things taken care of for the holidays and with bart's rental properties...it has been a crazy season and needless to say I AM SO HAPPY THAT IT IS ALL FLIPPING OVER! merry christmas dirt bags! have a wonderful new year...please don't drive wasted...not even chocolate wasted.
love, kelly kapowski
