Happy Holidays

Merry Santa/Christmikkuh to everyone . I hope you were all on the nice list and thankful for your holiday gifts. Kristen and I love all of our yummy holiday gift baskets. If we are not careful, we could actually overdose on chocolate. Kristen wants be to note that I was a greedy chocoholic and ate all the Godiva Chocolate Biscuit. In my defense…”I’m an addict”.Santa brought Jackson lots of colorful infant toys. Notable gifts include a mobile/noisemaker-thingie, a number of fuzzy blocks with color prints and an in-car playset. He’ll be throughly stimulated where ever he goes. I haven’t had a chance to assembly all of these toys yet, but the fuzzy blocks are definitely catching his developing eyes. We like to stack two of them in his Gymini and let him focus on the many colors. Eventually, he’ll wiggle so much that he’ll topple over the blocks which surprises him….very cute.We were able to video conference with both grandparents. We all got a kick out of it. With Jackson being a little more expressive, I enjoy seeing the grandparents reactions.It was so much fun to visit the other Schavey family as well. Mike and Dawn invited the everyone over the Sunday before Christmas. Holy cow did they provided quite the spread. All the kids and I sang a bunch of Chirstmas songs while we waited for the turkey to finish cookie. I asked if any of them knew the Dreidle Song.  No one knew it and the only reason I knew of it was from a South Park episode. So we started to see the song which reminded dawn of…..the dreidle set that set had. She bust those little suckers out and we had a ball playing with dreidles while singing christmas songs

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas, Happy hanukkah, Happy Kwanza…yada yada yada. I hope everyone had a healthy and joyful holiday. Kristen and I peformed the annual Visit-All-The-Families Wa Toosey. It was a lot of fun and everyone seemed to have a great time. Unfortunately,….no snow at all this year….very strange. It was probably the number topic of discussion.I writing this post a couple of days after Christmas. The week I like to call “The Lame Duck Week”. It pretty much absolutely worthless unless your a retailor. To make it worse, I’ve been terribly sick the past couple of days. Ugh. So that, combined with my Grandma also falling ill and the weather being extremely gloomy….this week kinda sucks.Hey Steve, being one of the few people I know that actually reads this trash, did you see any good flicks over the holidays or were you too busy flirting with guys on MySpace. God, I hate that site. I guess I should be make an ‘appearance’ on my page….hell no.With my cold getting past me, it’s now time to start revving up for Schaveyhaus News Years Bash. Oh yeah, Barry. We’ll be hosting this years gathering. Although we won’t be dropping big bucks on drink and cover at all the Grand Rapids bars, the plan is to still be all dressed up (black tie and champagne-style) and everyone bring wine and bubbly. It works for me…
