Wow, it sure has been a while.........
A lot sure has happened since Thanksgiving, but at the same time, it seems like it wasn't that long ago!
We had a wonderful Christmas! My parents and brother came out to celebrate with us. Brian had a looooong flight from Hartford, he was delayed about 6 hrs, but finally ended up in Columbus at about 11 pm on Dec 22.
Christmas Eve, we decided to let the kids exchange the gifts they bought for each other. Mill Valley, the girls' elementary school, had a Christmas Extravaganza (sp??). The kids went and purchased gifts for each other here--it was a win-win--as the proceeds went back to the school. It was so much fun to watch the kids get excited and in the spirit of giving. They were very gracious with each other and appreciated their brother and sisters thinking of them! We decided this is a tradition we will continue!
Christmas morning was lots of fun. The kids got waaaay too much as usual, but we developed the attitude of 'they're only young once.." and tried not to worry about it! Brooke and Cate's big gifts were their Nintendo Dss, Reagan got a babydoll stroller and Colt got a Police Coupe Car. The family gift this year was a Wii and boy does that get a lot of use!
Hopefully we'll be back sooner than later this time!
