Christmas Eve 2010

By Pam Jorgensen -
Each year on Christmas Eve our tradition is to open presents from family.
Christmas Day is all about the fat man in a red suit and what he brings.


Scott loves the popcorn tins with 3 kinds of popcorn
Someday, someone will sell a huge tin like this with only caramel popcorn in it
Scott will then be in heaven

Chase's gifts have a story behind them.
Chase decided to sell his iPod and DSi in order to upgrade to the new iPod Touch 4.  He was short some money so we told him it would be his main Christmas present on Christmas Day.  He agreed to this so he got his gift a little early.  Then...he really needed a new case to protect the expensive iPod.  We found a great one and Mitch bought it for him about 2 weeks before Christmas.  He received that early too!  So when we exchanged gifts on Christmas Eve...Chase received an empty iPod case box from Mitch and the next morning he found his iPod (that he's had for a month) sitting next to the empty box next to his stocking.  He had a great Christmas, just a little early.  Christmas Eve and Day were a little anti-climatic for him but, oh well!


Carson's gifts for Mitch
It looks like a huge stack...bigger than the other kids.  But Carson stayed within the $20 spending limit

A Game of Memory

STOP "JUST LOOKING" AND PLAY, DAB-NABBIT!! Okay, I am stealing this from a friend's blog, but I think it will be fun. Here's how it works: 1. As a comment on my blog, leave one or more memories that you and I had together, or just some memory of me. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot. Anything you remember! 2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. :) If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments or send you an email. (You know, you non-bloggers can still post comments. Just click "comments" below this post...) It's that simple! I hope everyone will play!

A Huge Sigh of Relief!

After 16 years working for Intel Corporation without fear, Scott was finally a wee bit worried when the latest round of lay-offs was announced. Sometimes they eliminate the ones who've been there longer. Sometimes they get rid of the new guys. Here in Arizona - Scott was both. He's been with Intel for 16 years but was one of the newbies at this site. This was the first time we felt nervous. Intel announced they would be eliminating about 10% from each of their sites world-wide. That meant 300-400 jobs lost here in AZ. They announced this MONTHS ago. They kept putting off the final date to let us know if we had a job or not. They kept us hanging, hoping, wishing, PRAYING, wondering... Until tonight - Scott's job is SAFE. He will keep his job. HALLELUJAH!! In an effort to avoid being jobless, homeless and faithless, Scott decided to contact his former boss (the good one, Larry) to see if there were any options back in Albuquerque, NM (or Rio Rancho which is where...

15 Years - that's right...you heard me!

2 dozen roses and a Sonic drink! What more could this girl ask for? How 'bout this? A new wedding band! (Scott wants it to be called an Anniversary band) I've always loved my original ring. Scott picked it out himself with only one suggestion from me...I like baguettes. He did a great job. As I have gotten older though, I have had a new desire. A ring that will not cause bodily injury. I can't tell you how many times I have innocently swiped my hand and a poor, unsuspecting soul (usually one of my kids) gets a scratch right up their face! Carson won't give me a fist bump because he's scared of the ring. And I only had to hint to Scott ONE time and it was quite a while ago!! I'm a simple gal. I don't wear jewelry often. It took me YEARS to get use to my wedding ring and finally not take it off every night. This new band is PERFECT! Simple yet so pretty. Thank you my dear, dear Scotty. This 15 years has been so fun! Let's do it again! Aw...what the heck!...
