Just Chit Chatter: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

man 2007 is here already! it seems that 2006 just flew right by...hope 2007 slows down just a little bit!

Our Christmas holiday was awesome, spent a lot of time together as a family and I think it was just what we needed!! Christmas day was so exciting for the kids, on Christmas Eve we went to MacAdenville to see the lights, it's a tradition for us!! Those lights are amazing and so beautiful puts you right into the holiday spirit. The kids had been watching a Santa Tracker all day...THANKS LINDSAY! They were so excited about it and my dd was calling all of our family and friends to hip them on where Santa was arriving next. We baked cookies and once they saw how close Santa was they quickly jumped in bed and was sound asleep, it was so cute!!

They got up that morning about 7am screaming, "Santa was here!!" The dd started asking so many questions like how does Santa "really" fit down the chimney? How much does Santa "really" weigh? and How does Santa keep his red suit so nice and shiney going up & down all those smokey chimney's? It was so funny to see that curious little look on her face!! Then they tore into their presents and we had so much fun playing the games they got, doing baby doll hair and putting together a Thomas train set! Here's a pic of my two kiddos with their favorite gifts.

DD got an American Girl doll which she absolutely loves, got her the matching pj's too!

DS got a batman blow up sleeping tent which I can't keep him out of, we might as well pack his bed up because he's slept in his tent everyday since Christmas!

We got dh a 8 drawer tool chest from Sears he was shocked and had no idea which was awesome because he's so nosey we never can surprise him with anything but we got him this time! I got a few sets of silk pj's, house shoes (which I desperately needed because mine were so ratty), toiletries and gift cards! It was a wondeful day there were smiles and hugs all day long!

I also received my 2nd gift from my secret lily from the mb at The Red Lily!! Doing this SL swap was so much fun!! She knew exactly what I wanted and included ALL of my favs!! And here's all the goodies that CC sent to me!!
