December...

Well December has come and is now almost gone...and quickly at that. My birthday was on the 11th and dad and boys managed to come up with a birthday present that was number one on my wish list..a new really cool camera. It is the new Canon EOS 7D with 18 megapixels and capability to take 8 shots in one second with one press of the button. It is absolutely fabulous for action shots and there's no stopping me now...when people see me with the camera bag they now run...hmmm. Next came the two weeks leading up to Christmas...all I have to say is Ryan's teacher has certainly earned her break and then some..nothing more trying than contain a rowdy group of second graders waiting for Santa..I wonder if she'll have to be dragged back kicking and screaming. Christmas finally (and I mean FINALLY) arrived and everyone was happy with their Christmas loot..John and Pat got fully loaded laptops and Ryan got a mini version designed for younger kids, but comes with windows and internet capabilities. This should hopefully dispel the constant fight for the one computer in our house. Ryan's hockey team has been in a Christmas tournament this week and so far has tied one game and lost one game. They're hoping to win the next game and get into the championship round..we're keeping our fingers crossed. As for John and Pat's hockey teams, well.......maybe 2010 will be kinder.
