Sissy's back at school...so...

Cheeto's for BREAKFAST!!! Woot!!

Happy New Year!!!

So I cooked for New Year's Day this year...most said it was good...the dumplings were dry but I didn't make those haha. The kids had fun...but they'd have fun in a box so that wasn't really a concern! Jake and Jenna weren't here but here's a snap of the 4 crazies that were in attendance!! Hope your 2009 is all you hope for!!!

Merry Christmas!!!!

My idea this year was to get the kids one BIG gift and then a COUPLE little things...but after the wrapping was done I counted and they both had ONE big gift and 11 small ones...whatever!!
Papa and Gubbie showed up way early to watch the craziness so they didn't miss a thing! Denton's big gift was his Thomas Table and he seems to really like it...which is a miracle because 2 weeks before Christmas he proclaimed that he no longer liked choo choo's...which wouldn't have been a problem had I not bought the table in AUGUST!!! Roni got a trampoline...much to the dismay of almost every adult I know...but there's an enclosure and of course daddy made up all kinds of crazy rules that will go right out the window as soon as he's back at work like all good daddys should be! Roni also got benderoo's because #1 she clearly watches too much tv and #2 mommy clearly doesn't watch enough...had mommy known they were pipe cleaners with a 'kick' she would have never paid that much money for them...let alone the overnight shipping so the little princess had everything on her list.
Hope ya'll had a super great Christmas...I know we did!!!

Christmas Eve at Gubbie and papa's house!!

Gubbie and Papa sure do know how to do Christmas!! The kids got way more than they could ever have hoped for. There were lots of squeals and giggles and maybe a couple tears too...cuz that's what happens when you're young and it's Christmas! They did crafts and opened presents and we all had lasagna...cuz nothing screams Christmas like a big ol dish of Italian food!!
We all got to decorate my mom's 'tradition' tree again this year...although Santa only got ornaments for the kids...typical. Have I ever mentioned that we used to get stockings on Christmas morning?? Yeah. that was till we had kids...no more stockings for us!! I'm waiting for the year Gubbie says "I decided to just get the kids something this year...sorry bout your luck"
hehehe
