Warning: BORING POST!!!!

So my computer is driving me CRAZY!! Yet again, I can't get it to start (I am being told by "experts"....family who is really pretty smart about computers....that my hard drive is probably gone). So sorry for the lack of blogging, but more for the lack of pictures to make this interesting!!

We did have a great Thanksgiving. We ate LOTS of food. We went to my parents for lunch and Trent's for dinner (although I stayed behind at my parents and enjoyed some games and visiting with my family without the kids).

Christmas was GREAT!! We also ate lots of food and opened tons of presents. We woke the kids up to get to my parents by 7am so we could get to Trent's parents by 8am. It worked out great!! And the kids even took good naps (without any complaints)!! I hid a bunch of their old toys to make room for the new ones and I don't think they have even noticed!! I love when they play and are nice and share and all that fun stuff (that I don't see on a regular basis).

Miracles have happened!! Ethan hasn't had an ear infection since the tubes (and he even has a cold which normally means instant ear infection). It is so nice not having to go to the drs all the time or worrying about which day of the 10 he is on for his meds or if I already gave it to him that morning/night or not!! I just hope these tubes break his cycle of ear infections and he doesn't have to get another set!!

I am sure Emily has said a BUNCH of really funny things to make this interesting, but at this moment I am struggling to think of them....so here are a few I remember!! (okay just one because I can't think of anymore right now)!! :(

Christmas Eve morning she woke up and said, "Mom, Can't Santa come already?!?!?!!?" (it was really funny....I think she was about convinced he wasn't coming with how long it took for Christmas to get here).

I almost forgot...I got the BEST Christmas present (okay, really there are many other awesome ones)...Trent surprised me with a Cricut Expression!!!!! I was totally shocked and am in love with it!! I got it a few days early (Trent kept running into people we know when he was buying it and didn't want one of them to spoil it) and have been crafting away since. I decided to take a break for the kids sake (I think they were feeling slightly neglected!!). But I can't wait to see what I can create with it!!!
