Happy New Year!

We had a relaxing, fun night right here at home. Buster only made it until 9:30 before he called it a night. Chiggie and Tea watched the ball drop with us! I am very excited about 2012!

Recovering

Our Holiday recovery has seemed slower than normal this year. I think many factors are involved, but we were hit with a stomach virus and several of the kids and myself just haven't felt well. Buster tried to make me feel better by cooking me up a snack, but I just wasn't hungry. Our new family room really is great in the aspect that we are able to have so many toys in there without feeling crowded. That wasn't true in the old house.

I can't believe it is already Wednesday! I am glad we still have a few days of vacation left before we are back to the grind!

Merry Christmas!

Final Stretch

We are definitely in the Christmas home stretch now. We had a great day today. We went out to eat and to the mall. The kids got to see Santa. Only Boo was afraid and she got outta there as quickly as possible. Of course not before placing her order. Tonight we have a dress rehearsal for the Christmas Eve service and then hopefully will have time to watch a movie. I just want to pump the brakes, this is going way too fast!

So Handsome!

Getting Our Party On

Please excuse my poor quality cell phone pics! The last couple of days we have been really enjoying the season. We celebrated at Youth Group with reindeer cupcakes which were really cute. The kids also practiced for their Saturday performance. It's going to be so cute!

The older girls also had a Christmas Party here at the house. They made gingerbread houses, enjoyed snacks, listened to Christmas music, and watched Christmas movies. There were 10 kids in the house, but it wasn't too crazy. They had a lot of fun!

If the roads clear up we are going to look at lights tonight. If not, then tomorrow night after our dress rehearsal we will. I can't believe how fast this month has gone!

Cleaning

It's important to tackle little things like dentist appointments over the break, so today I took Tea to have her teeth cleaned and examined. She did wonderfully. She has one small cavity in a baby tooth, but it is sensitive so we'll go back after Christmas to have it filled. She will also be having her molars sealed that day. It feels good to get these things out of the way.
