Christmas Day was spent with Grandpa and Grandma J. As usual, the girls were spoiled! Santa left the girls a Goldfish Aquarium. IF you know Avery, she has had an obsession with fish since she was little. She even named her dolly, Fish! More about the fish later... We had a wonderful Christmas day, remembering the real reason for the season. We were blessed to be able to spend the day with Brian's parents.
We went to PETCO to get fish after we had setup the fish tank. Of course, we had the social worker of the fish to help us! It was a nightmare trying to get her to sell us some fish. She kept asking us questions, "So, tell me this, why are you getting fish?" "So, tell me this, how big is your aquarium?" "So, tell me this, don't you just want a bowl and a beta?" It was as if she wanted to have a home visit and check the environment, if we are proper candidates to have fish! I wanted to choke her. We ended up leaving without fish! Can you believe it! We wanted the 96cent goldfish, nothing more. I was so frustrated. Petsmart saved us and we ended up getting 2 fancy tail goldfish, no questions asked! Petsmart now has valued customers. Avery named her fish, Sharky and Homer. Can you tell that my 12 year old husband STILL watches the Simpson's?! I will get a picture of our new additions soon!
We are getting really excited for this weekend to come. My mother was originally coming up here by herself for my cousin's wedding on Friday and then Morgan accidentally spilled the beans and told me that my dad was coming as well. So that was really exciting and then Morgan decided that she was going to fly up here for the weekend and that was even better news. I haven't yet met her youngest, Sophie. So, not wanting to miss out on the fun, Katie decided on Sunday that she was going to come on up to see us all. Neither, Katie nor Morgan have met Delaney. I am so excited that my sisters are going to be here (and mom and dad). I haven't seen them since Aug of 2007. Poor Ty thought he was only going to house my mom for a couple of days, now his house has turned into the place to be!

i love the names avery picked out for the fish... cute!
Those names crack me up! If it makes you feel any better Cory still loves the Simpsons too... luckily, he doesn't get home from work early enough to watch it. We have a Homer santa that sings his version of Jingle Bells... it's sad, but this is how Anabelle first learned Jingle Bells.
