A Long Over Due Update!

I have been such a bad blogger these past few days but i have been so busy. I finally had time tonight to sit down and write and update for everyone. Things with my sister are going along. We still aren't sure what it is but the doctor reassured us if it is Hodgkins then it is treatable and doesn't mean she is going to die but he wants to make sure before he tells us a diagnoses. As for things on the home front we are preparing for christmas. I have gotten almost all of my Christmas shopping done. All i have left to do is order my brother and sister in laws gift tomorrow, and buy picture frames for our pictures to give to the grandmothers for christmas. After all my buying is done i have to wrap the remaining gifts and put them under the tree and then im done outside of mailing our Christmas cards : )

*as a note: i will never buy wrapping paper with glitter ever again! By the time i was done wrapping all the presents i had to wrap i was covered in gold glitter and it was all over the place! what a mess.


This weekend is going to be really busy for us since we have 2 Christmas parties to attend in the same day! First we have the Christmas party and my Nanny Mulkey's house that afternoon and then that night we have Ryan's work christmas party. Luckily ill have some time inbetween to grab my sister and sneak off to the mall to finish Ryan's Christmas. The last thing on my list is the Very Sexy for him after shave at Victoria Secret : )

As a treat for you guys here is a sneak peak of our Christmas/family pictures!

Aww you all look so cute!
LOVE the fam pics!

AND if it turns out to be Hodgkins, I am here to talk.
My mom had it a few years ago, and it was a rough time for all of us. The chemo was very successful, and she has been clear ever since.
Just wanted to let you know I've been there!
