Santa & Christmas Party

Well last week on Weds we went to the Micron Children's Christmas Party. The kids loved it! It was the first year we did not have break down and neither one cried in Santa's lap! Even E went into the jump things w/o N. They got to play games in the toddler area, decorate a cookie, eat a snack, jump on blow up things, go down slides (E went with me as you can see in the picture), and have fun. It was fun for all of us and didn't seem as crowded this year but then again we didn't stay late either.

Well we have a week now before M & S leave on the cruise. Seems wierd to be going somewhere warm when it has snowed here some and is cold. We won't mind at all. The kids are looking forward to seeing Aunt L and Nana and Papa plus Cousin MA. They are going to be having so much fun and stuff that I don't think there will be time for them to think about us being gone...which I am glad of. It's nice not to have to stress about being away from the kids...we know they will have fun.

We have been busy around here just finishing up making some christmas presents, wrapping christmas presents and getting ready. I really need to get out my stuff and look at it to decide what I am going to bring. Where M just tells me oh I'll just pack the night before. I wish it was that easy for me!

The kids have been busy with school, friends over to play or meet at Burger King, dance (which E loves the ballet side of this), karate (which will be over in January and soon after that soccer will start), and just hanging out at home. They keep asking about snow...they really want to go sledding. We might be able to go up to the mtn on Friday and do this. We shall see. I wish we would get enough snow to drag them down the street but so far no such luck.

Well hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas! Will update when we get back...since I don't think I will get a chance this week.
