So, yeah, it's been a while since I've blogged. And, I've probably lost all 4 people who even follow it, so I'm just going to type into cyberspace. :)
This Christmas was GREAT! Hannah and Brooklyn were so much fun! Now that they really "get" the Santa thing, it's a blast. They had a great time going to parties, visiting Santa, opening gifts, and playing with family throughout the holiday season. They got a big new doll house from Santa for Christmas. They love it, although Mommy and Daddy had to take it away for a day just a couple days after Christmas because they were trying to "clean" it with soggy washcloths. Gaah! Because of the possible water damage, I was a little less than happy, so Greg and I took said doll house and put it in the garage in "time out." (And, for the record, the garage is only time out for large toys, not children. ;))
New Year's was really fun as well. We have an awesome group of friends we get together with, and we all got together for New Year's Eve to celebrate. 14 adults and 22 kids later, we were all pooped by the end of the evening. We had a blast playing movie charades (boys vs. girls again), and the kids had a blast watching movies, playing, and making lots of noise.
The holidays were, of course, filled with WAY too much food and WAY too many treats. I think I made Oreo truffles 4 or 5 times. (And, I'm still craving them now.) I love those perfect little confections. And, I LOVE making treats. If I could make it lucrative, I'd do it all the time.
Hannah and Brooklyn are still keeping us on our toes. They are loving preschool and getting smarter and smarter every day. We love all the funny and clever things they come up with. For instance, just the other day, we were leaving from Little Grandma's house, and Brooklyn was throwing a fit and crying because she didn't want to leave. (For those of you who don't know, Little Grandma is Greg's mom and Big Grandma is my mom. The girls came up with this. Hehehehe) Anyway, we were driving in the car, with Brooklyn still screaming, and Hannah starts singing Elton John's "I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues." Greg and I busted up. It was absolutely perfect comedic timing. Way to go, Hannah. Another incident happened in sacrament meeting a few Sundays ago. I gave the girls the assignment to draw a picture of Mommy and Daddy to keep them quiet. Brooklyn drew Mommy and Hannah drew Daddy. Then, when it was really quiet, and the sacrament was being passed, Hannah turns to Greg and says in a full voice, "Daddy, this is a picture of you and Mommy. You're mean and Mommy is sad." Oh boy! You should have heard the snickers from our neighbors in the pews in front and behind us. It was awesome! I just love my girls. (Oh, and for the record, Greg and I are perfectly happy. He's really not mean, and I'm really not sad.)
Anyway, that's us right now in a nutshell. I'll try to be a better blogger. Over and out.
