What a great Christmas we had with all the family! We spent Saturday through Monday with the Ghys family in Geneseo. The ride down was brutal with horrible fog and screaming from Morgan- luckily the way back was much better! When we first got there, Carson said "Grandma, you need to move closer because Morgan just screams the whole ride here". Carson and Gavin had so much fun playing with their cousins for 2 days. The white elephant with the Henderson's was funny again this year. Looks like Junior lucked out with the good stuff. We drove home on Christmas Eve and went to the annual Kalinowski party that evening which was fun. Christmas morning was great at our house for Morgan's first xmas! The kids slept until 8am and then couldn't wait any longer to open the presents. Carson's favorite gifts are the Spiderman 3 DVD, and his Shark Park hotwheels. Gavin's favorite toys are his Thomas the train plug and play TV game and all the lightning McQueen Cars stuff. Morgan got some books, and baby dolls and even a "My first elmo purse".
The day after Christmas the snow was all melted and Gavin looked outside and said "Look Mom, the grass is showing- It's almost Easter time". Guess he is ready for more presents! Kids will be kids!

Christmas Parties

We had 2 holiday parties this past weekend which the kids had a blast at. The first party was at Polly's house (Morgan's Day Care). It was great to spend time at the home where our little princess spends her days. The second party was Taryn and Dan's annual holiday party with Santa! The kids were so excited to see Santa even though they knew this wasn't the "real" Santa. When we put Morgan on Santa's lap, she just looked at him for a minute and then of course tried pulling his beard. We called her name and finally got her to look at us for the picture and she smiled right after we took it. She never cried on Santa which was nice. I am sure next year will be a lot different. On Saturday, we will be making the trip to Geneseo to spend xmas with the Ghys family. On Xmas Eve, we will be at the Kalinowski party and then on Xmas day my family will be spending the afternoon/ evening with us. It's going to be a whirlwind weekend- as always. I hope we will be able to take the time to enjoy ourselves with the kids and remember the true meaning of Christmas.

Happy Holidays to all of our friends and family!

Hopefully this works! Click on the link to see our little elves boogie! Soon I hope to upload a video of the boys truly dancing. Their skills are amazing. Keep an eye out for it soon.

December Greetings!

It is hard to believe it's December 5th already. There is about six inches of snow on the ground this morning and it looks beautiful. Carson and Gavin were so excited to wake up and see all the snow and they are looking forward to playing in it at day care today. The boys are also getting so excited for xmas and have been on their best behavior (most of the time). Morgan is getting better at sleeping and eating. We had a few more nights that she has slept through the night so hopefully it will continue. She has started eating green beans, sweet potatoes, pears and cheerios. Her new trick is to take a bite of food and then blow bubbles with her mouth. Huge mess! I don't know who was worse off, Morgan or my face from getting spit on. :)
