The Anderson's Blog

Bailey wrote a letter to Santa at school a few weeks back asking for an extra Wii Remote, the game Mario Kart and the movie bolt.  It was a very cute letter.  She did it in red and green letters.

On Saturday, she gave the letter to her grandpa Rick, who is a postman at the N’side Post Office.  He was to mail it to Santa for her.  Tonight, Tuesday night, when we got home from seeing the Palmers & Knutsons, there was a letter in the mailbox from Santa to Bailey.  As we read it, she asked, “how did he get my letter so quickly?  how did I get his letter back so quickly?”  I told her that grandpa had special access to Santa Clause.  She asked for me specifics.  I told her she needed to ask Grandpa Rick how it exactly works.  I hope Grandpa has a good story to tell.

Sydney and Bailey worked on art projects all day today.  Then, they brought the parents through their art gallery at the end of the evening.  They made snowflakes, life size nutcrackers, flowers & colored Christmas pictures.  It was  really cute.  They spent a lot of time on it.  She also worked hard on coloring pictures for Grandma & Grandpa’s Coupon book today.  Tomorrow she should finish up coloring Grandma Charlotte’s Christmas Coloring Book. 

She went to bed saying “I really wish this was Christmas Eve!  I can’t wait for one more day!”

After receiving 10 inches of snow overnight, school got called off and Christmas break for Bailey became 15 days instead of 14 days.  Luckily, Jason was able to take the day off and be with her.  They spent most the day shoveling at our house and at Grandma & Grandpa Knutsons.

However, during the afternoon, Bailey spent some time on the Wii while dad was doing some cleaning around the house.  The Wii offers a feature where she can e-mail me messages to my e-mail.  Here’s the messages I got on Friday… 

wit to grandmo and grandpo,s and

nowa i am tascting you and i tick

dadde is shaovling i mis you mommy i love you form bailey to mom

Then she got bored, and didn’t want to help dad clean the house.  So, she decided to write me another message.  However, she forgot that her and dad drove me to work.  So, they were my ride home.  Here’s the final message I got.  She’s definately in a mama’s girl.

The word blog was first introduced to me during a YPIowa meeting.  It was during discussion of things that those graduating from college understand and things that those of us who graduated 10 years ago have never heard of.  It was foreign to me till I started posting some blogs to the YPIowa page.

Then, when Pro-Link was created, we knew a blog would be something new and different to introduce to the world.  Since I was the only one with some past experience, this became my fun daily task.  But, it’s always about business.

I’ve always wished to keep a journal, and only did a few times when I was in middle school and then when I was pregnant with Bailey.  My  life is very much an open book, so why not just combine my personal thoughts in this blog & keep my journal at the same time.

I hope you enjoy seeing the inside of the Anderson Family through my eyes.
