Have you missed me?

So I have not written for a bit becuase... well thanksgiving and Christmas are big months for me and there is not much down time to write. We sure had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We went down to grandma and grandpa's and had so much fun. The girls loved spending time with thier grandparents and cousins. We had lots of fondue, cheese and carmel and chocolate ones. The kids, well parents too, ate so much of those munchies that no one was hungry for Thanksgiving dinner. So we all went to a movie while the kids played and super grandma babysat. Then when it was very late at night we pigged out on turkey and pumpkin pie.

Christmas was great too. It was so fun haveing two 3 year old girls with tons of enthusiasm. We started opening presents two days before chirstmas as Joe felt like we would have more fun with opening one at a time and playing with what we got until we got bored then opening another. And let me tell you, it was so much fun. We actually got to enjoy each present as we opened them instead of rushing through and not letting kids play with each toy they get, when they get it. Usually its like "wow thats cool, ok put it aside and open another one." So this year was different. We loved it and may make it a family tradition. By the time Christmas eve came all the presents under the tree were opened. Then in the morning it was full of gifts again from Santa so we had several presents to open on Christmas morning, as well as stockings. We had such a fun time.

It is amazing that as the kids get older how much more fun holidays are getting.
