Christmas Highlights

I've got tons of pics to post - hopefully I will get them off the camera tonight. Here are the highlights:

Keira's Favorite Toy - 3 Foot Tall Barbie House that really I never should have bought because we have no where to put it, but the 3 year old LOVES it. It has gotten lots of play time!

Mom's Favorite Toy: The Leap Frog Scribble and Write. This has actually got her practicing her letters again - something she has lost interest in.

Most annoying christmas present: Fur Real Cat, I don't know what I was thinking when i bought this one other than Keira specifically requested it. It has however, provided for some comedy -- More on that later.

Keira's Favorite Part about Christmas: That she got to open both her and Mallory's presents!

Favorite Christmas Moment: This actually happened before christmas. I am the sole christmas shopper in this house. I am sure many of you Mommas can relate. So Wade had really no idea what I had bought for the kids. We stored it all in our sub-basement and I kept bugging him to go down there and check it out so that he knew what the kids were getting. Well, one night after everyone else was in bed (wade is a bit of a night owl), he decides to go down there and check it out. Now this is a basement - concrete floor, cold, dark, you get the picture. So he's snooping around down there and suddenly hears a cat meow and almost wets his pants. He literally jumped off the ground as he thought our neighbors cat had somehow gotten in the house. Really it was just the Fur Real Cat. Once he realized it, the cat almost got a big kick. I have never laughed so hard when he told me this story. Hilarious - if only I could have been there to see it. Seriously, I would pay money to have that on video!!!

So that's the quick run down. A good time was had by all. I've got lots of pictures to come - christmas, playing in the snow, making cookies, making a gingerbread house, etc. Stay tuned!
