I did a T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E job posting new blogs and adding pictures over the holidays. I just had too good of a time hanging out with the family. But here a few pictures of the kids on Christmas Eve. This one of all three of our babies together shows everyone just how much Elijah has grown over the past few months. He's a GIANT! But we still love him bunches!
Elijah's favorite gift was his iPod Nano. He had been begging for an iPod and we told him absolutely no way! But, he was so surprised when he opened his last gift and saw the one gift he was dying to see! He was so thrilled. We got lots of hugs and lovin's for that one!
Sydney got several things she was excited about but she loved her Tamogotchi. Here is a picture of her playing with it. She doesn't take very good care of her digital pet, however. It has died about eight times since Christmas and we've had to reset it for her so it can start over!
There weren't any good "standing still" pictures of Noah. All of his pics were action shots and weren't the greatest! He got some remote control toys (a very cool helicopter and a ATV vehicle) so there wasn't much standing around done by him. He constantly was running through the house chasing people with this toys!
Chad got me an iPod Classic (which I love so so so so much!) It is fabulous and I use it all the time. Thanks, babe!
I had been searching high and low for a gift for Chad. I don't know if I had mentioned that Chad and I got married six months after we started dating. We weren't able to have a honeymoon because he had just started a new job and didn't have any vacation. We were able to go to Indy for a couple nights. Other than that, he and I haven't ever really been away just the two of us. That was sixteen years ago! Also in March, Chad will turn 40!!! I wanted to get him something special that he would always remember his fortieth birthday. SO...I decided to get him a trip to VEGAS! I cannot wait to be able to spend some time with him and not have to worry about doing "kid friendly" activities or going to family restaurants! I'm so excited and looking very forward to having some time for the two of us to hang out together! It will be a blast!
I wrote him a letter gushing and mushing all over the place about how wonderful he is...and then enclosed our itinerary for the trip. Needless to say, he was gobsmacked! So surprised. It was great. We spent the next several nights on the computer checking shows, the hotel, restaurants and other activities out that we can do when we're there. We're pumped and a great surprise to a good man. He very much deserves this little getaway... and... I couldn't be happier that I'm the one that gets to go along!
