Last Post of 2007!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We sure did! Every Christmas Eve we go to my grandparents home in AJ for pizza and we get to open the presents from them. This year, they both had the flu, so it has been postponed. Instead, we went out for Chinese with my parents and then drove around looking at Christmas lights. Christmas morning came and we realized we didn't put the rest of the gifts under the tree! We quickly did that before the kids (Slade) wondered out to the great room. We opened gifts with the kids...Skylar got me the vacuum I have been wanting, and he got a remote control helicopter that has been his baby ever since. We then got ready and headed over to my parents house to open more gifts! It turned out to be a good Christmas, even if everyone was on a limited budget. I'm pretty sure just about everybody received a homemade blanket.


I had to post this picture of Daisy because she is so darn cute. She posed seriously, all by herself for a few pictures.

Christmas Eve Day, we headed to the Zoo with Skylar. It was his first time going with us! We became members after Slade was born so me and the kids go all the time, but it was really fun having Skylar come this time. It wasn't busy at all, which was surprising, but pleasant. I just couldn't pass up this picture-taking opportunity! Aren't you glad you're not a Rhino?

Slade usually enjoys staying in the stroller as we go thru the Zoo, but since Skylar was with us he had to walk with him and became very unhappy when we stuck him back in the stroller. He really loves his Dad and copies everything he does!

Daisy is getting so big! Time really flies the second time around. Now that she crawls, she always heads for the kitchen because she knows that I am most likely in there. She has figured out how to climb up to the dishwasher but she just stands there frozen as if she is afraid to move. She is not the daredevil her brother was and continues to be. Thank goodness for that.

We received a 3lb box of Belgian Chocolates and Slade loves chocolate. He is always asking for chocolate, whether it be M&M's, chocolate chips, cookies or whatever! I'm not a big chocolate lover. I think Skylar likes it more than I do. And yes, Skylar gave Slade chocolate while he was laying on the couch before bedtime! No wonder Slade likes to be with Dad more than Mom lately.
