We had a great Christmas. My sister came home from her Australian mission on Christmas Eve Eve. I forgot how much I missed her, I am glad that she is home
Danik and Beya got a haul of presents:
Danik got: city legos, checkers game, erector set times 2, but one will go back because this toy is much too old, bow and arrow from Beya, Lego star wars anikans ship and and Lego star wars Separtist Shuttle, two super hero shirts
Beya got a lot more stuff but the same amount of money was spent
Beya got a princess cape, Melissa and Doug cake and cookie set these are her favorite they have velcro and can be cut apart and put back together with toppings that interchange, Belle and Aura dress ups, 4 puzzles: shapes, household animals and exotic animals.
We had a great Christmas and we are very blessed to have spent it with family.

Looong time

So I have so many things that have happened to our family. We sold our house in Shadow valley and moved down to Edgewood off of Glassman. We love our new home. It is newer, and I mean within the last 4 years. So hopefully not to much fix up. Beya is learning to potty train today and she is doing great, one accident and only because she was watching Word World! Danik told me today that Santa is his most favorite person of the year, so I asked what about me and he said that Santa is his most favorite person of the year, but I am his most favorite person of his life. This is very funny, because a couple of hours ago I was the meanest and dumbest mother of all time. Ha top that I get the meanest mom of all time title. They are very funny kids. Off to the cookie party with my friends.

Looong time
