Holidays...

Wow, time fly’s when your having fun! It has sure been busy and a whirlwind the last couple months. We have had Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and started birthdays all in a short time.

We have all had a great holiday season and hope that your family has done the same. Santa came and spoiled us rotten. Both kids received everything that was on their letters to Santa Clause. Then Santa made a surprise family gift that is being used probably more than he could have ever imagined with the Wii Entertainment System. Even Katelyn and Shawn love to play and beg each day to spend just a few extra minutes on the games. Katelyn has a real knack with the games and so far is the Bowling Queen in the family. Don’t ask me how she does it some of the times she is laying on the floor, jumping from one side of the room to the other, more times than not she is not even facing the TV but yet will still strike or spare in her turn. We have each tried to do the same however she still holds the title. She also loves to drive as well as Shawn on the Mario Kart game. Shawn had his dream come true with his gift from Santa and the Yoda light saber sword. He is a little obsessed with Star Wars to say the least. He asked for this particular sword for over 4 months and didn’t think he would survive without it. He babies this sword as if it was the most precious item in the whole universe. Katelyn was excited to receive Hello Kitty makeup and a jewelry box also the Tinkerbell styling head and other Tinkerbell toys, which she enjoys.

On New Years Eve I took the kids to a play area in our area where the kids could run, jump, and play to their hearts content. For two hours they ran around and had a great time. I have to say this is the place I will always remember and will revisit more often. It has several blow up slides, jumping, climbing, and interactive areas with other kids. What more could you ask for when you have two hyper kids that can’t wait for New Years?

Shawn also celebrated his 4th Birthday on New Years Day. One of his other favorite toys is Transformers and was excited to have a new one on his cake. We had a small family party at our home where he was spoiled rotten and will probably be in shock now that it will be another year until he will have Christmas and another birthday. Katelyn is on the countdown to her birthday that is at the end of January.

Wishing everyone warm wishes and hope that your Holiday Season has been spectacular!
