Good Times

An early trip in the morning went from 'waiting for Santa' to... mommy... let's go play with our toys. Abby has been up for awhile now to play with her two castles, princess Barbies... and to watch Curious George. She told me she was afraid of Daddy's computer downstairs.

May have to shut that down at night? Tom did a lot of work rearranging our basement downstairs. I worked yesterday on putting away the pile of things that got rearranged with it. Now we just need a good pickup to help us move everything! I need to take photos of everything to see if anyone wants anything before we take it off to some furniture mission. A new dishwasher will also be taking it's place along the other shiny black appliances. Perhaps we can all maintain our hearing now... at least we won't need to crank the volume on the tv or shout like an elderly married couple...

Merry Christmas to us ;) 

Kiley and Kara are working on more teeth... super cranky and some sour tummies. The diapers are sitting in the garage as they gave the house a 'recently changed' aroma... not so pleasant. 

Abby is eating a banana in the most peculiar way... sucking/smashing it on her mouth. Ugh. 

Not exactly sure what is on our plate today. Hoping to get my sister to stay the night and hang out with us today before the weather gets nasty again. They are saying possible 6 inches more of snow with strong winds and bitter cold... plus an ice bath before that starts. So we'll see where the storm goes but it may be a quiet New Year's Eve for us all.... 

Hark I hear babies... time to run!

(I bought 200 dollars in groceries last night... let's hope it makes us more than a week... wow they eat a lot!)

So this is Christmas :o)

And what a wonderful Christmas it has been so far...

The girls have all thoroughly enjoyed themselves and they have plenty of new toys to feel the hours here at home. New baby dolls, a Little People Princess castle (large and small) books, princess dresses, a mini trampoline, Fisher Price Gumball machine, Barbie Car, Play Dough, Princess shoes, bath toys and games to name a few...

(Kara, she got a little messy after supper, the shirt sufficed :P) 

We spent Christmas Eve with my parents where Tom enjoyed the time with my brothers playing WII Resorts. (I think they played for like 5 hours) We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Dinner and then opened presents. Abby was playing with my sister Tiffany at one point during the afternoon. Tiffany was supposed to be sleeping but eventually came into the kitchen to see what we were up to. Abby came running and said "Get back to bed, right now!"

I wonder if she has heard that before....

We went down to Tom's parent's house that evening and spent Christmas Day and today with them. Of course 'Santa' came to visit and left Abby a Barbie, coloring book and a few other little things. She was very excited to open her presents and begged me to let her go down and check the tree. When we asked her if she wanted to leave a cookie for Santa she said "Yes, put it in my hand." hahahaha

We had a good time down there and Abby loved spending time with her wonderful cousin Isaac. I get a kick out of how the two of them play together! Abby was playing in the living room and Isaac comes running in "Hi Abby, How are you?" Abby replies "Good, How are you Issac?" Issac: "Good, thanks, Bye!" They did this several times it was so cute! They enjoyed swimming in their diapers on a blanket pool/beach, opening presents and rough housing with Grandpa. Christmas afternoon we visited their Great Grandma's house and after about an hour of terrorizing it we decided it was time to head home.

We went sledding then this afternoon. They really had a lot of fun even though it was freezing cold outside!

We had a lot of fun but oh is it nice to be home :o) Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
