Christmas was great, glad its over!

We had a pretty awesome christmas.. The kids and i baked and decorated cookies on Christmas eve morning while "daddy" was at work.. Then when he got home and after naps we headed down to Newport News to have Christmas Eve snacks and open presents with Grandma.. It was so nice to see the family again.. The kids have missed their Grandma so much!! So we had a nice evening. Then on Christmas morning.. Kya woke everyone up screaming, "Santa brought me a bike!!" "Auron you got one too". "mommy, daddy, come look!!" LoL it was so early since Dan and I were up all night putting those bikes together!! But it was worth it to see the priceless look on her face.. But she was more excited that Santa ate the cookies and drank all the milk.. After they opened all their presents we all got dressed and did our Christmas routine of breakfast at IHOP... The food was great but our service was really SLOW! Our server spent allot of time talking to the table next to us.. So we never got drink refills until we were done eating. After breakfast, Daniel, decided that we should start another tradition and go see a movie.. So we went and saw The Tale of Desperoux, It was a really cute movie.. The kids loved it. But they were happy to get back home and begin playing with all their new stuff!!! They got so much stuff, and to think Auron will be getting more stuff next week! :) Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas too!! Love you and God Bless!

FLASHBACK FRIDAY

I stole this idea from a friend.. Well here's an old pic when Kya was about 6 months old.. Look how big i was... I looked like a whale!!

we saw SANTA!

The kids and i went to a playdate at California Pizza Kitchen today at Short Pump Town Center in Richmond, VA. Auron was so proud of himself for making his own pizza! Kya loved it too! but for some reason would not touch a bite.

Since we were at the mall i decided to take them over to the playplace.. And Santa was there.. Kya asked if she could go see him. (Thank God i already got her the Pink Tag book pen). Thats what she asked him for. She also told him that Auron likes cars and trains.. LOL.. It was so cute the way that she thinks about her little brother too. While we waited in line the kids stuck their heads through one of those cut out things.. I had no idea that Auron's was a girl!!! Until after i took the picture!

We had a nice day and i met some really nice people here! But i still miss ALL my old friends! Making new ones can be hard!!

Their bunk bends!

Earlier this week we bought the kids their 1st set up "big" beds. It was Kya's idea to get the bunk beds! She is so smart. We were discussing how their room is kinda on the small side and when we get them 2 beds they'll have No room to play.. And she jumps right in and says, "i have an idea!" "We could get bunk beds!". So dan and i look at each other and were like, thats a great idea. So we now have their beds together and we let the kids pick out their own bedspreads.. Kya picked "princess" of course.. And Auron chose "Cars". They LOVE their new beds and have been sleeping great. I guess it helps to have comfortable mattresses too! My babies are growing up to fast.. Its so hard to believe that they are out of "cribs" and "toddler" beds too!

Halloween

Halloween Was really fun this year! Even if we got the costumes the day of Halloween and there were slim pickings. Both of the kids really knew what to do! Of course at the 1st House Auron walked right in, and then preceeded to go in a complete circle around their house! But then at about the 3rd house he caught on! He would say , "Tik-er-teet" and then he'd get his candy! Than Dan or i would say, "What do you say?" And he'd say "Dank oo". Than he'd say, "I RUN" and run to the next house. Kya, always the little model, would do her thing and than say, How do you like my dress! She loved it, especially since it lit up! Kya enjoyed being our own personal flashlight.. Im just glad that it turned out to be a good time for us, especially since we were worried about money from our recent move!
