This Thanksgiving I hosted the hubby's family at our house. It was great to be the host with of course the help of my wonderful Mother in love :) The kids enjoyed preparing the food as you can see they were quite busy cutting ONE potato each! As for the turkey, well yeah that is a different story, let's just say I will have to leave the "prepping" of a turkey in the hands of my hubby or mother in love! Turkey and vegetarian just don't go together! All in all it was a great Thanksgiving!
The Christmas season went by in a flash. The kids were busy rehearsing each week for our church's choir in which my sweet little girl had a solo in and she did very well! We were busy each day doing and learning fun things for Christmas. We had our annual trip to see the Fashion Island Christmas tree and a visit with Santa. Our Elf on the Shelf was named Chippy and the kids enjoyed having him with us all month long. We wrote letters and mailed them to Santa, we baked cookies, read Christmas books that were wrapped under the tree each night, made lots of crafts, watched Christmas movies- Elf on the Shelf about 100 times, Polar Express, Home Alone, Toot and Puddle Christmas and many more. Christmas morning was priceless to see the looks on our kids faces when they saw their new bikes and all the other gifts Santa had left, we lounged around in our jammies till 2pm, until we had to head out to Gamma's, it was a wonderful relaxing morning!We had a great season we really did but I am sure glad all the craziness is winding down and life if getting back to "normal" or so I think!
Now it's a new Year 2012 and we celebrated Taelor's birthday on New Year's Eve, so I will be sure to post on the fun birthday festivities too!
