Must have been very exciting to have a new addition to the holiday cheer this year! Hope YOUR Xmas was a good one!
I had cheer and hapiness but no warmth! ;P

[JohnR]

Thanks Jenn...

BTW, I thought you said that you had special ways to keep your husband warm :P ... Pretend that you are out on those starlit beaches of Truro. You also wont need to worry about the sand fleas :-D

[Jenn]

You know....since you mentioned it....... is THAT what those NASTY sand collored creepy crawly critters are???? They were SO bad one night we actually decided NOT to fish there! (we drove off to the right out towards the lighthouse) and when the fog lights were on we barely saw them. We turned on the headlights because I looked out and said "HUH?" !!! The entire beach was CRAWLING!!!!!! yeeeee-uckeeeee!!!!! (puking smiley)

[JohnR]

Ahh yup!!! Have you seen any Earwigs??? Those are the ones that freak me out...

John, hope you enjoyed your 1st Christmas with the little guy and Gwenn, hope you had a wonderful day.

Bill and I had a very nice day, had Squidmama over and we went and visited The Big Catch to brighten his day, he is doing very well after a very frustrating start, he looks great and is rehabing hard to get out on the beach by April.

I got a nice new rod rack for the front of my truck, so I am definatly set up with the fishing machine now, can't wait to try it out, will be perfect for the MV firedrills, LMAO.

As for bugs, can we please not discuss those creapy crawly little critters, I HATE BUGS. Jenn don't ever get one down your waders!!!!!

Yes John we had a great Christmas. My 9 yr. old was up 3 times and for good at 0606 hrs. I layed in bed half asleep and told my wife he woke up Jenna now and they are gonna open up the gifts without us so let's go. They skipped right over the stockings and got right to the good stuff. Many pictures later and after breakfast and some rest it was off to My mom's for more presents and dinner. And this year we all had a really good time and all got along well. After dinner the 6 grandkids played and the adults played a board game Sequence, while my younger brother slept on the couch( I think he works as many hours as you John including commuting) . I got some gift certif. but me and the wife did not switch cause of a new sofa&loveseat and dining set finally after 13 years. We also had a nice Haunukah as well. Did that on Sat. at my in-laws , kids got spoiled as usual and more lounging around shooting the bull. Well you asked.

Looking forward to 2001 maybe this will be the year I break 30

Thanks for asking. How was yours?

[Jenn]

Thanks everyone!!! We had a great Christmas!!! Had dinner with family and Liam was good enough to sleep through most of it!!!

Slip, you'll break 30 this year. Just focus and plan your excursions to places where the spot and tides are more likely to produce good fish!!! Oh yeh, think eels!!!
