A New Year Begins
Well the Holidays are over and a new year begins. Our Christmas was great and never ending. I think we did gift exchanges four days in a row trying to accomodate friends and families schedules. Papa came in from Arizona with his RV which is always a treat. Usually the girls are constantly wanting to go out to the RV because Papa always has candy. This go around we had so much sweet to eat in the house they did not have to go out to the RV to get their fix. Meme, my sister and her husband, Ed, made it in as well.
This year, the gifts from Meme and Papa were a big hit. They each purchased a Barbie ride-in car for the girls. These things are huge and I am considering adding on to the garage. If they had their way, the girls would cruise the entire neighborhood but we are trying to limit them to our yard and a treed lot across the street. A few days before christmas there were only a few presents under the tree and I thought we were going to have a modest Christmas - but boy I was wrong.
Christmas morning was a lot of fun. We could hear the girls awake in their room but they wouldn't come out of the room. We finally went to get them. When they did come out they said they had heard Santa and didn't want to come out because they were afraid that he might leave. I wonder what they heard and who gave them the idea that Santa would leave if they came out of the room if they heard him???
Here is short video we made about what they heard:
We celebrated the New Year in grand fashion. We stayed up just long enought to see the New Year come in and then went straight to sleep. I wonder if we are getting old?
Anyway, Happy New Year and may this one be better than all the others.
The Miley Dance
Denise has been out of town for the past week for the second time in three weeks. On Tuesday I was at my wits end with work and trying to keep up with the girls. Thanksfully our very good friend kept the girls for a few night so I could have a break. Tonight, Friday, is movie night so I picked up the girls and we had a good dinner and then watched Hannah Montana The Movie.
At the end Miley Cyrus sings the song "The Climb" and while Dylan was too tired to move, Phoebe and Chloe on the other had were raring to go. The result is what I have named "The Miley Dance". Take a look at it here.
The video was the third shot because I messed up the first two and they still had this in them!!!
We're A Team
Denise is out of town on a business trip for the next few days so tonight I decided to no turn on the TV. The girls and I had dinner, I should say burgers, and then their imaginations took over. You name it they came up with it tonight. Dogs, cats, monsters and reenacting their favorite shows were just a few of the items on the menu.
The last item was "We're a team!". It was good enough to put on tape. Hope you enjoy.
