A review of December

I am slow on posting our Christmas, but with good reason. Todd has been off work since last Monday and I have just been enjoying my family! So here is a bit (okay a lot) of our Christmas and a few other things.

Alyssa with her talking baby from Santa, this was her number one wish and she takes it almost everywhere (I will let her that is) and she sleeps in a cradle beside her bed at night. Her name is Baby...shocking I know :)

And her new dollhouse. Takes up a lot of space in the playroom, but surprisingly Aiden plays nicely with it too. I really just expected him to take all the furniture out and throw it about the house, but so far it can stay downstairs.

Aiden crawling into his puppy ball pit...this takes up most of the family room...so even though I have done an "old toy sweep" we still are overtaken with toys downstairs...he loves it!

Aiden also got his own phone with an answering machine, perhaps now he will stop changing the message on our real answering machine...not likely.

By the time they were done Aiden really only wanted the Goldfish left in his stocking. When it comes down to it this boy only cares about food.

Demi opening one of his gifts, it lasted about 4 minutes until he chewed a hole in the ball and it landed in the trash.

Alyssa helping Daddy make homemade noodles. Aiden was back in bed by 8:30 in the morning, since he got up at 6 which is very early for him. My first (30 something) child got up about 5 and somehow the rest of the house was up before 6!

Some snow fun the week of Christmas.

Sledding down the driveway.

This is the only time I enjoy our steep driveway.

And I don't think I ever posted about Alyssa's preschool Christmas program. Her she is all ready to go. She did a great job singing and dancing...she even had her own line that she said into the microphone perfectly. Unfortunately the pics from the program are all dark, so this is all I've got.

So I think that is enough to catch us up for now.

Happy New Year!
