Christmas Part 2

Christmas Day...it's such a long day, but well worth it!! We don't seem to get up so early anymore and one little boy slept in until after 8am this year and we had to go and wake him cause his sister just couldn't take it any longer (only to find out why he was sleeping was b/c he was coming down with a cold....go figure)!! Olivia was pleasantly surprised once again this year with stuff she wasn't expecting. I'm learning, the older she gets, the more expensive things get! Logan just went with the flow, you know, open one and play with it like there are no others waiting for him!!! Funny, how a 2yo. works.

So off to Pa. we were. That time also is getting later every year that we leave. I must get control of the time situation. Let me just say, my kids don't realize how nice they have it, with how many people love them and care about them. My family did nothing but surprise us with everything. No wonder they couldn't wait for us to get there. It's funny how Aunt's, Uncle's and grandparent's can spoil 2 kids in a mere 1/2hr. I kid about that, I THANK them all for making Cmas a whole lot brighter this year and many Cmas's past!!

I have to wonder though about all the preaching I did to Olivia about not needing a DSI b/c she just got a DS last Cmas and how we can't possibly buy every new gadget that comes out year after year and wow, imagine that, Uncle Jimmy got her a DSI!! I have to say, I was floored and questioned if that was really what was in the box! And then there is the MP3 player that is just way cooler than mine that had music all ready to go for it! hmmmmmmmmm......someone did a lot of thinking and shopping this Cmas!

Last but not least, let's talk about every parent's worst nightmare of a gift.....any guesses? Seriously, a drum set for a 2yo. boy!! All I can say is Thankfully I have a basement and second, hand me downs within the family are just great! :) What they don't think about is I'm the one with the 1. only kids and 2. the oldest kids . That has great potential for the future. I will have pics if my brother remembers to send them to me!!

On a lighter note.....Rich and I got Steeler field jersey's!!! Hoping to get to wear them for the super bowl this year!! Olivia also got her jersey "refreshed" by getting a new one!

There was so much more and I could write forever. But everyone just really out-did themselves this year and it was great!




He's just so rotten cute!
