| {FRIDAY} Tonight we celebrated Christmas at my in-laws as well as Laila's 2nd birthday! It was a fun time with family. Taylor and Landon walked away from the evening with their beloved Disney Princess and Spiderman bikes in tow. Taylor begs to ride her bike each and every day. |
 |
| {SATURDAY} After opening gifts at home with the kids, we loaded up the car and headed to Chandler to be with my side of the family. Joann and Stephen made the most wonderful Christmas dinner. Later in the evening, we were able to take a couple of really good family photos to cherish forever. |
 |
| {SUNDAY} Even though it's a bit chilly outside, we took the kids for a bike ride around the block. Taylor is big enough to ride the bike on her own; Landon needs to be pushed as he steers. I was pushing Ryland in a push-trike which he loved! |
 |
| {MONDAY} My blogging friend Katie introduced me to the world of pureeing. I never made my own baby food -- now I wish I kind of did because it is so much fun and gives me a "Martha Stewart" feeling. I pureed vegetables that were about to spoil and will be mixing them into meals like the kids' favorite Macaroni & Cheese. This week when I made their usual favorite, I added a bag of pureed sweet potatoes and no one noticed! |
 |
| {TUESDAY} Christmas night my mom surprised me with a gift card to go towards the replacement laptop I w anted since Ryland broke the other one a couple of months ago. Hank paid the balance so that I could get the cute pink laptop I've been dreaming about. Yay! Such a wonderful gift. |
 |
| {WEDNESDAY} Tonight a couple of my Project Life friends came over and we put our new 2011 albums together. We spent a couple of hours getting the albums ready and beautiful. And it was fun to have Britney and Brenda over for some girl time! |
 |
| {THURSDAY} I was starting to feel overwhelmed by "stuff" so I started to take down decorations which in turn meant I would be taking down the Christmas tree. I usually wait until the New Year, but couldn't wait this time. I love our tree and all of the special ornaments I have collected over the years. |
 |
| {FRIDAY} Today has been one of the most low-key New Year's Eve experiences yet. Our only outing today was to go to Chili's for dinner per Taylor's request. She chowed down on two ears of corn. That girl can eat he corn! Hank was feeling the need to get the kids in bed early so we can just sit back and relax and hopefully stay up til midnight. Man we're getting old! Here's to hoping that 2011 is a fabulous year! |
