It's not over yet!

How was your Christmas? From what I can tell on FB, and from actually talking to people everybody has had a good one. Our's was fantastic!



I was spoiled beyond all belief. In Addition to Tim adding the 2 bands to my wedding Ring, he also got me a Bulova Watch, and 2 big Costco size boxes of French Truffles. I felt like Tim got the short end of the stick because all I got for him was The Bourne Identity and another Nun chuck for the Wii. However that Nun chuck will come in handy since he also got Donkey Kong from my parents, and we can now play it together :)

The girls received SO much, I doubt I can list it all. But I am VERY proud of the presents we got them. They got talking Woody and Jessie dolls from Toy Story. We were so excited about their gifts, that some of our other friends got us some pretty special presents. Tim got a talking Buzz, and I got the COOLEST Rex I have EVER seen!!!! I now have a mission to get all the Toy story gang. High on my list is Slink, Ham, the Potato Heads (and it HAS to be the Toy story ones), and the Pizza Planet Aliens. I'd love to get a Bullseye, but I'm having trouble locating the kind I REALLY want, so we'll see.

I don't feel like my Christmas will end until late January. On January 11th we're all flying down to visit my family!!! I haven't seen my parents in 2 years! It occurred to me the last time they saw Nicole she wasn't walking, wasn't talking, and was incredibly bald. She now has quite the personality, and some hair.

Our next big thing though is West of Paris on New years Eve! I am VERY excited, and just hoping that I can finish all the food put in front of me! I love getting all dressed up (yes, I go to West of Paris somewhat Formal). We are also hoping to have the girls spend the night with their Aunts, so that Tim and I can properly recover from our food coma.

Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!!

Christmas!!

We have officially decorated our little apartment for Christmas. I love it! 

As much as I look forward to one day owning a house, I love that our apartment is perfect for the Charlie Brown Christmas trees. I'll miss them when we can accommodate HUGE trees.

I forgot to get more wall hooks for our stockings, and the girls kept playing with them so I used Thumbtacks and made them our window decorations. 

I also keep slacking on the Advent Calender. So for the 4th year in a row, Santa is counting down the days for us. 

I tried a new candy last night. They are Peanut butter Fudge Drops. Not very pretty...but I've eaten 4 today. They are quite delicious.

I'm REALLY excited about Christmas this year. It's fun that the girls are really into it. Riley even told me that she wants us to make a cake and put candles in it, since it's Jesus birthday. I love my little girl.
