And it came to pass in those days...........

I have no idea how to rotate video! So sorry! You might have to turn your head.

Anyways. I haven't had much time to blog and I am so far behind! I thought I'd give you one quick blog. This is from Christmas day which will get it's own post later. But I thought this deserved one all its own. And it won't take me long--so then I can say "I blogged!"

Grandma and Papa asked C to read the Christmas story this year. I was a little worried that he would stumble on some of the hard words. (I meant to have him practice but in all the business-kept forgetting.) (He did practice one time with Unca right before) I was so proud of how good he did! That's my boy!

So enjoy the best reading of the Christmas story ever (until next year anyways).

Happy Birthday!

To my favorite brother! He's getting old!

New Year's Eve

Got a little wild this year. If this is what C ended up looking like, well I can't speak for the rest of us.

Just kidding!

We did have a great time at J&T's. We sat and ate--just the 4 adults. Like old times. The kids were--somewhere. Then we played band hero or guitar hero or whatever it was called. We all pretended we were in a band. We had a bass guitar, a guitar, drums (me) and a singer. It was a blast. We were there until 1:30! I say this often. I love the age/stage my kids are at. They were not at all grumpy (until right at the end. and then K got a little teary/grumpy). They all played well. So much harder to do when they are younger. And then--don't faint--my kids slept til 9:30 for K and almost 10 for C! A big deal in this household. Daddy and I were awake earlier than that (we are getting old. enjoy staying in bed till 5 brother. you'll get old one day) What a great start to a New Year.

Isn't he so cute?

And no, this isn't about my husband.

Or my son.

Or my brother.

I love sock monkeys! (My hubby does NOT). And even better, these are S&P shakers!

Our Christmas

We had our Christmas with just the 4 of us on Monday morning. It seemed like a smaller Chrismtas this year. But last year we didn't go anywhere and all presents (from all family memebers) came here. So it seemed like we had much more to open last year. This year I think we will end up having 4 different "Christmases"

I took a picture of C with his "stuff" and one of K with her "stuff" Alas. It is on my other camera and I am not going to get it tonight. You will have to turst me: they made out well.

C got 2 games for his DS and K got a new one for her "Kindle" They aren't allowed to play them until our trip later this week. So they did other stuff. C worked on Legos and K painted.

Daddy was allowed to play his new game. And we all got a chance to play it. He got Band Hero. What a fun game! Check future posts for pictures and videos.
