My sister Devin got here a few days ago and we have been having so much fun and doing SOO much Christmas related activities =) Two days ago we went and saw Santa. Marcus is in LOVE with Santa, Teny on the other hand wanted nothing to do with him. She looked at me like who is this man holding me and then when asked to smile she cried. lol. Oh well maybe next year. After that my other sister Aurora and I went shopping. Aurora is 11 and this is the first year she has wanted to spend her own money and buy people presents. She bought everyone in our family a present all with 71$ and boy did she do good. She had a little help since you know I used my mad couponing skills. lol. But it was really nice to watch her get so excited to buy other people presents cause it shows that eventually that even for kids they learn that its not about getting gifts its about giving and helping others. It was very nice to sit back and see the joy. The joy I feel getting my kids presents, the joy I feel when I see them open them and see their smiling faces. So it was a very nice afternoon spent with her and a sleeping Teny =)
Yesterday my mom and sisters watched the babies and let Chris and myself go out and finish up shopping and just have some time just the 2 of us. I love that I have family near that take my children and allow me to spend so much time with my husband. I feel so blessed that we get to go on at least 2 dates a month and my mom takes Marcus at least 2-3 times a month and has him spend the night with her just because she loves him. So its nice even though we have small children we still get to spend tons of time just the 2 of us.
So we shopped, and shopped and shopped and ate really bad food, and shopped some more. We had a blast =) When the kids are at my moms house they take amazing naps so we got back to her house around 3 thinking they would wake up and when we realized they were still sleeping we decided to play phase 10. This game is seriously the BEST game ever. My family is serious about this game. We get seriously competitive. We were actually able to almost finish the game before either baby woke up, they both slept from 1-5!!
Later that night we went to an event called Christmas at the Park. It was a half mile trail where they had a million light displays. The kids were in heaven, I thought it was pretty awesome. It was just a fun night. Little cold (ok it was 40 degrees).
But I will leave you with LOTS of pictures =)
