well, christmas was fun for all. the kids especially. they got to decorate cookies...

they practially passed out in their gifts for most of the day...

here is the tree before they got to it...

Here is CJ in a santa hat chillin' ...

And here they are last week after decorating the tree...

Hope everyone had a great holiday with Family and Friends. We are all blessed to have what we do and sometimes it is too easy to forget that.

my daughter is an artist!! see this cute little picture here!

i think christmas is going to be fun this year... the kiddos don't know it yet but Santa has decided to get them a Wii. this excites me too because it means i get a Wii fit! we also found them a few games off the parenting site's best games for kids list. G is also getting a DSi from his dad... he should be all set on video game stuff for a while i think. Of course this also means that we can pass the Leapster on to M because she likes to play with that too and it is more age appropriate for her as well. we will have to get her some new games for that because i think G lost most of the ones we had gotten him.

the kids are adjusting to daycare again. CJ has never been but he did pretty well last week. he had a small meltdown this morning, but i think that was more because he seems to have a slight cold and just wanted to stay with me. other than that they all seem to love being able to go play with other kids. the younger two don't really get to go out and play much where we live because it is a town home area and the front is mainly a parking lot and the back just isn't very big and they tend to wonder to the street a lot more than i like. so it will be good for them to get out more.

looking forward to finishing all the other christmas shopping i have to do... i didn't really want to resort to gift cards, but i am coming up blank on ideas... we'll see i guess.

To my best friend... it is your birthday today. Happy birthday! I love you and I thank you for being part of my life, i couldn't imagine it without you!

at times i think it is just me... apparently it is not!
