Christmas

I suppose I should update my blog. We had a very nice Christmas with just us. I had hoped that Robert's brother and step dad would have been able to visit but they weren't able to this year. :( So anyways, we had a very nice Holiday. Christmas Eve we made cookies for Santa, the kids had a ton of fun cutting out the cookies from the dough and then decorating them after they were cooled off enough. Christmas morning the kids had their stockings to play with, then breakfast. After breakfast we did presents. I had them go one at a time so it was less hectic and I could get pictures. Plus we didn't have that many gifts this year with money being tight so I wanted it to last a little longer. Velvet had fun running around trying to open gifts and chew on anything that was on the floor. It was a very nice morning. After the kids were done unwrapping, we put the stuff together that needed it and spent the day playing with the kids. Robert and I managed to go 2 days without spending more than a few minutes on the computers. It was easier to go without the internet than I thought it would be.
I will post a few pictures on here. The rest are on my Flickr.

Kevin and Emily's Birthday

Since Robert is leaving before their birthdays, we decided to do a little something for them while Robert was still home. We took the kids to Toys R Us to pick out a toy. Kevin got a big Bakugan ball that had the little balls and cards inside, Emily got a tinkerbell doll and Cameron got a little GI Joe action figure. Robert also got some nerf swords to play with the kids. After the toy store, we went home and everyone played outside for a little bit. Then we had cake. Emily and Kevin enjoyed blowing out the candles. Emily kept sticking her finger in the icing though lol. It wasn't much of a party but the kids had fun. I did the writing on the cake, it is a lot harder to do than I thought it would be, oh well, they didn't care. Kevin and Emily had picked the cake and candles as well as the icing I used to do the writing with so they were happy. I was having flash issues so the pictures aren't my best. Oh well, it was a good day regardless. :) Happy early Birthday to my babies.
