Happy Holidays

I hope everyone had wonderful holidays!
We had a pretty good time I must say!

Christmas Eve was pretty low key. We had a nice dinner with a whole chicken, homemade rolls and jello (which any meal with more than an entree is a big deal at our house). Then we had our annual Christmas story puppet show, that Lucy was so not into. And finished it off with opening PJ's and eating ice cream sundaes.


On Christmas, Gracie was in heaven opening gifts. She didn't care who they were for or even what was inside, she just wanted to open them all. Lucy was the opposite. We tried to make her open some and she just cried. She just wanted to play with the ones already open. I guess I missed out on that saving opportunity! Gracie got her mermaid barbie and mermaid movie that she asked for, and a bunch more. Lucy got her tinkerbell barbie and tinkerbell movie that Gracie asked for her, and a bunch more. I got Rockband 2 for our Wii and got a raincheck for Wii Fit! Andy got some clothes, badmitten and a goatee trimmer. Ya, I think I took the cake for getting the most fun gifts! I think I'll have Andy do the Christmas shopping from now on!



Then we had Grandma and Grandpa come over for Breakfast and naps. They got us a trip to Disneyland for Christmas!! We are soooooo excited!! It makes the holidays being over a good thing, instead of depressing. We had fun seeing them attempt to rock out on our new game. They also got us an awesome game called Raving Rabbids that is hilarious and I highly recommend it. We always have fun when they come over! Thanks you two!!

The next day we tried on our snow gear and Gracie and I went out and played in the 4 feet of snow we had in our backyard. We built a snow fort, a house for Sasha and a snowman and played ring-a-round the rosies, slid down the stairs and to my surprise, Gracie was done playing before I was!

New Year's Eve we put the girls to bed at my parent's and they let us take off to see a movie. It's always so fun to go out anywhere, especially when going out usually means going to Walmart with your kids screaming at you the whole time. We loved it! And at midnight we woke-up the girls and on the drive home we got to see all kinds of fireworks. It was great!



New Year's Day we had Grandma Brenda, Grandpa Rob and Uncle Adam over for lunch. They're always a huge hit at our house. We had a great time playing games and eating and watching a show and eating. We love having them over!

I must say we missed seeing cute Grandma Trudi and Grandpa Hal this year, but hopefully we'll get to see them soon! Hope you both are doing well! We love you!

Last night I promised Gracie that we would sleep in her little tent and watch a show. With that said, I am very tired this morning and will be surprised if any of this post makes sense! I'm very grateful for beds!

Good luck to you all in 2009! Hope we all come out on top this new year!
