Merry Christmas every...Oh damm, Parker is out!

Hey gang,

Well, we have had a full two weeks since the last update: where to start...

Family- We did the Christmas party at the condo on the 15th; lots of fun. I feel bad for the Brussin's as they were all sick that weekend and could not make it over. But, our friends Amy, Wayne and his boys, my friends John and Nicole's friend Michele and Quino all came by - even her parents made a cameo. It was alot of fun. We did a gift exchange where I gave Amy, Wayne and Nicole gag-gifts for the gag-gift I got as a new daddy. We played some games, ate too much food and cookies and got the seasonal pic done - posting very soon :)

Chris is now 3 months old today- he is sleeping thru the night still, and now in the goo phase of babyhood. He is using his hands more and is very funny sometimes. He also gave me his first smile and its all worth it :) I am a very happy daddy :)

Steelers - well, let me say that if by some miracle they do good in the playoffs, then cool. Parker is out with a broken leg.. they also lost a game to the Jags, which makes me unhappy - especially when they should have done better. I think they were a bit tired and not ready for that game. They did blow out the rams and have Davenport scoring 2 TDs and 140 yds - TOO BAD HE WAS ON MY FANTASY BENCH!

....speaking of which, Carlos and Rick are in the Superbowl for the IFL. I lost my week 15 game, so Im in the looser bracket. I play Dave Brenneman again, and have a feeling I will loose..who knows.

GAMING:
We are back to World of Warcraft again. Here is the story here - Nicole was upset that I would play on the xbox at 9:30 at night and not spend time with her after Chris goes to bed. We did movies but I think she wants to do something more interactive. We talked about going back to the game with the knowledge that we would only play a few nights a week and only with each other. Wayne and his boys reactivated thier accounts for Christmas and they are on a PvE server, which means that the other faction in the game cannot attack you without permission to do so. This was a huge issue with us the last time, and we spent countless hours getting ganked by higher level characters with nothing better to do.

So...with that said, we created new characters and now play. Amy made a Blood elf hunter, Wayne made a warlock and a warrior, Nicole made another mage and I made a priest. A co-worker made a rogue and might stick around.. Trever made a warrior and has a 49 priest and Tyler has a rogue and the 61 Druid. We then created a guild called Circle of Friends and have most of the characters in it now - even created a guild forum just incase.

More importantly, Nicole and I made rules for each other as to not get too into the game and keep it sane. So far, we kinda did it over board, but its new to us again and we are playing together and having fun. Xbox will still be there, just not used a frequently as before.


MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone! Next update will have some pics and gift news from the loot that we received from St Nic :)

Look for dunk-the-baby cards invitations in the mail and we wish you all a good holiday!
