The best part of Christmas for me is the giving. Yea the getting part is nice but I love seeing the look on peoples faces when they open their gifts.

Our Christmas was just fantastic. It was so much fun this year with Delilah able to open presents (and being more interested in them than she was at her birthday!).

Christmas Eve we visited John's parents. They got Delilah a Fisher Price Laugh n Learn sweeper, two outfits, gripper socks, & a dog puppet that bark sings 3 songs & Little People zoo train thing. We also stopped in at his grandma's for a much needed visit. She got Delilah a fur real friends puppy. It's really cute and we don't even have to let it out! Ha!

Christmas Day- opening scene the front living room with presents galore under the tree (ok maybe there wasn't that many...). We started off with Delilah's presents. First I opened her card & read it to her as she struggled to slip out of my arms. She was so not interested. Then we started with her ornament. It was so fun to watch her open her presents- she would take a piece of paper (we had to start it) and would rip it off. Then she'd either hand it to me or John, and just throw it aside if we were too slow to take it from her. By about the point we got to the Little People SUV complete with mommy & baby she was ready to stop opening presents & play with that. But I kept her on track. Then John & I opened our presents from eachother. While we were doing that Delilah played with the garbage bag full of wrapping paper. Playing with the paper with all those neat toys *sigh* Kids :-D

After a non-nap day we headed over to my parents house. After a decent nap while we ate we opened presents. We got so many wonderful things from my parents for us & for Delilah- I just can't name them all! Thank you so much Mom & Dad for a wonderful Christmas Day full of great food, presents & best of all a family to spend it with.

Gosh I suck

I really was going to try to keep up with whole blogging thing but I've totally been sucking. I just have no ambition. Both of the girls are doing great. Delilah just finished preschool today. We had a rough start but it got better. And then she went back to the crying beforehand and giving John issues. She was very happy to learn today was her last day and promptly requested she go to a new preschool. Which she will be in September. Agap.eland! I am so excited for her to begin there. I think (hope) she'll like it a lot more and she'll learn lots of new things. I just hope we don't have the same issues with the new place as we did with the old place. Tatum is growing in leaps and bounds. Recently she's been trying to blow bubbles with the bubble toy grammy got her. It's so adorable as she dip the wand in the spill-proof container (gotta love those), pulls it out and attempts to blow bubbles. She actually did blow bubbles today but of course I missed it becau...

Almost a month since I last blogged- where does the time go? What to write about? I have no idea. Basically things are pretty boring. We've just been doing what John does while I work... going to Target for our weekly Target visit, going to the marina when it's nice, visiting John's parents. We've also visited Ash & the boys for some play dates. Other than that it's been low key which is nice since I only get three months with Tatum. Don't get me wrong I know I'm lucky to have the time I do with Tatum but I just wish I could have six months with her. My mom has since stopped coming during the weekends as I can lift Delilah again. It's not too bad actually- I was worried about it but I'm surviving. I've even been able to get them places by myself. Usually just to visit John at work or for our weekly Sunday visit to my parents. Last Saturday I did make a trip to this place called Wendt's Pork Palace (they have yummy wing dings) with Ashley ...
