Holidays

I am so out of this world excited for the holidays this year. I am having a hard time contracting on anything else. My sis and I went in together and got the best most perfect gifts for our parents this year. They are going to be blown away! They deserve them so much because they go above and beyond for everyone they know and gave us everything we needed and most everything we wanted growing up. Sorry Mom, I am not going to say what they are. Hehehehe As for my girls I think they are going to love their chairs along with everything else they get to unwrap that day. They are lucky little girls. Av is going to be so excited by a piggy bank G&PP are giving her and a coin purse full of coins from AA and UM. She will also be getting several things on her “list.” We have a few things for Camille but I think at this age we could wrap up diapers and she would not care. Just the wrapping will be fun for her. We did get them a cardboard playhouse. It is one that you set up and they play with it until it falls apart and then it’s done. The girls will be able to draw on it and color/paint/glue stuff on it anyway they want. It was $19.99 and I think it might be a big hit. It is a toy that won the best toy of 2008 award. This Friday we have a little holiday party set up with the Shumans. They will come over and the kids will play and exchange holiday gifts. Then we will put the babies to bed and we have a babysitter for the big kids. The adults are heading out for dinner. After that we will have a slumber party at our house and make a yummy breakfast in the morning. Saturday night we will have Christmas with John’s Dad’s family. They are a blast so it will be a good time. On Sunday the girls and I will get up and head to WV. We will be there for almost a week. I can’t wait to veg and hibernate at their house. John will fly in on the 22nd. On the 23rd we will drive into Pittsburgh and have Christmas with the Werner side of the family and then on the 24th we will have the day/dinner with the Welsh side. Then back to WV to wait for Santa! On the 26th we will head back home. That night is John’s annual chili cook-off that him and his friends have been doing for YEARS. John’s little brother will come and sit at the house while the girls sleep. I have Christmas week and New Years week off work!
