Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas to everyone!!

I know this is coming after Christmas but we've been a little busy in our household.  From heading out to Pittsburgh one weekend to celebrate with one side of the family, to heading to Allentown to celebrate a partial Christmas early with the other side of the family.

Then with my job being at the hospital, which is always open even during the holidays, I worked both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  Then I had previously signed up for overtime for Friday and Saturday, which made me be away from my family right after the holidays for 12 hours a day.

Well let's get on with what my family got during the Holidays.  The children got the Blu-Ray copy of "How to Train a Dragon 2" to be splits amongst the boys.  They also got another set for their V-Tech Go Go vehicles set, this time including a garage, which has become William's favorite toy out there, including his favorite word to say to us.  Michael received almost anything Olaf, his favorite character from the hit movie "Frozen".  Bridget got more stuff for her American Girl doll, which she has amassed a collection over the years, as well as some Barbies and Barbie's clothing.  She also received the Barbie set for Frozen, including an Anna and Elsa, and a storage carrying case for the dolls and her clothes.

My wife and I got each other some DVDs and books to add to our ever increasing collection.  I added "Avengers", "Star Trek", "X-Men:  Days of Future Past", and finally "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".  My wife added the Blu-ray copy of "The Wizard of Oz", and "Man of Steel".

I have been trying to add only Blu-Rays to our collection just so we can stay more with the times, since DVDs might eventually become obsolete, and since you always get a copy on DVD when you buy the Blu-Ray in the stores.

In the next post, I will try to post some reviews of the items that we all received during the holidays, since I will be able to be at home more, since we are limiting some of the overtime that I take on before the next semester in the school year.

Well it's been awhile since I've posted to this blog.  Well it is now the end of the fall semester for my wife, so she has become a studying monster.  She is trying to get her way into the MBA program at her college while she is still completing her bachelor's degree.  This would be amazing if she can continue with her grades the way she has been so she can start on her Master's degree.  Unfortunately, because it being finals time, there is no time for cosplaying and general geekery.  In the upcoming weeks I will post some of the pictures from previous conventions that we have been to in the past 8 years of marriage, including pictures of our kids cosplaying at the ripe old age of less than 1 years old.  Our daughter has actually been going to conventions and cosplaying for her entire life and she was born in 2007, 10 months after we got married.

I will also be starting to sell homemade foam tombstones, that we will be getting ready for next Halloween.  Even though tombstones are generally a Halloween thing, we will be trying to take a geek turn to some of them, that way we could use them all year round.  I will be posting my process of the tombstones on this blog as I go through my first one.  We will also be looking at going to more of next year's conventions, so look forward to more pictures and cosplays.

Please tell us what you think of any of the ideas that we have posted onto this blog.
