The Holidays...

Well Christmas was great for us except for the touch of flu (yuck!) Our cute lil boy ran upstairs and saw all the presents and came back downstairs with his eyes as big as saucers and said, "Guess what?! Santa came and left us presents! Come see!!" Since it was 8:30 am we agreed and headed upstairs. We did try to have breakfast and tell about the birth of Jesus but that did not last too long because we had one eager boy wanting to check everything out. He was so cute we didn't resist at all.

So, the tearing and throwing of paper ensued and Jordan had his presents open in record time where as Lexi was enthralled with her baby doll and required assistance (according to Jordan) to open the rest of her presents.

He was satisfied to play with his presents when i told him it was probably time to move them to the play room- he needed encouragement- so Casey went first and wanted to know what had been moved into the playroom. That caught Jordan's attention and we had Lexi's kitchen and Jord's workbench covered. They loved them and did little else that day than just play...




So after a little candy and really i mean like two pieces Jordan makes a mad dash to the bathroom where the lil guy promptly donated to the porcelin thrown...He and i pretty much stayed down and out for the rest of the day:(



He had enough energy to play however and by the end of the morning Jordan was playing with Lex's doll and Lexi was playing with Jordan's pirates- GO FIGURE!





We have had fun outside as well- Lexi doesn't like the snow at least while it is touching her hands but likes to say snow with a soft s so it sounds like NO. She is talking a lot more and has learned about 'hot choco' which she will request around the clock! She has also started to say pee-pee and we take her, sometimes she'll go and sometimes she won't but i'll take what i can get from a 19 month old.

Jordan still is going to preschool and loves it even more after the christmas break. He always wants to know what day it is, to know if it is a preschool day or not. He never ceases to amaze me what a smart kid he is, he sure takes after his daddy. He also now is a sunbeam and is so excited to have his cousins in primary with him especially Cole who is in his class.



Casey's 34th birthday and New year's eve hit us next and once again someone was sick - Lexi this time, with a urgent visit to our pediatrician that morning. So she and i stayed home and the boys went to G'ma and G'pa Fitts' house for festivities. They came home at 11:55pm and celebrated the New Year with us.





The lastest thing we have done was a little picnic in the artic! It has been so cold here! But the kids have had cabin fever- so we made a lil stop at Mickey D's and here is the picnic pics at Wheeler Farm...






We hope that your Christmas was wonderful and that 2010 brings you all you deserve and more.

Next post will be about our trip to California- hence the Beach Party Background! Don't be jealous- i'll think about you while I am there.
