It's been so quiet in here, I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. Tell us about it.

I've been hanging out with family all weekend and DH is off work this week too, so I haven't been able to get online much! We spent most of Christmas day with DH's parents, sister, and brother. Ellie got so many toys it looks like Santa's sleigh exploded in our house! Christmas dinner was nice with his family, my mother, and some friends of ours that moved here over the past year.

Wow! I think you should do a separate post for this announcement. It deserves it! Happy and healthy rest of the pregnancy to you!

Our Christmas was really nice. We sang songs and read the "Night before Christmas". Had good food and nice presents. Sophia enjoyed the in-laws feeding her chocolate (=she will come to me if I feed her chocolate) and she got so much attention- she was in an absolute happy-giggle-state. We had some friends over after Christmas so that the little ones could play.

We had a really good Christmas. Now we're in the mode of panic trying to get everything in order. Which really, there is no actual need to panic but I feel the need to. It's what I do best haha. Just starting to pack up more of the house, get things ready to be packed up and we're going to start moving big things into the garage. The boys are having a blast with their new toys and such and I'm trying to not want to throw all the crud out.

This was the first year we spent Christmas Eve alone as a family, instead of going to someone's house. It was nice and relaxing. We had dinner and then watched Christmas shows and then the kids went to bed just before 8pm. DH had borrowed a Santa Suit (one of those high quality ones that someone uses to be Santa at a mall) and we woke up at 6am so he could get all dressed up. I woke the kids and told them that I heard Santa on the roof top. We ran down and hid under the kitchen table so we could spy on Santa putting the presents under the tree. DH was awesome, he even ate the cookies and drank the milk. I told the kids that they had to be really quiet or else Santa would run away with the presents if he saw us...LOL. They were great. I only wish it hadn't been so dark that I would have been able to video tape their expressions. It was really nice with the tree lights on but just too dark to see anything on the camera. After Santa left we opened our presents....yes it was just around 7am at that point, but my kids are early risers anyways. Then we had a nice breakfast and in the afternoon went to my parent's house for Christmas dinner and we opened their presents.
Boxing Day we spent at home doing absolutely nothing but playing and eating.

Everything is great here!! We had a wonderful holiday, which was very surprisingly relaxing! The kids enjoyed themselves so much! Now its just back to work & playing with my daughter and her new toys lol! Preparing for our homestudy on Tuesday! Getting just last little things in order!! So far I think 2012 is going to be extra wonderful!!!

Everything has been good here, just busy!! Christmas was nice but exhausting. Both sets of parents were here and we all ate way too much food. I usually take time off from Christmas to the New Year, but I don't have much leave so I have been working. I just got a telework agreement approved so I'm working from home 2 days a week. It is so nice!!
