Happy New Year!

We got through Christmas and had a nice quiet time at home. You might all be interested to know that Vivian did not get a lump of coal from Santa. She got an American Girl doll among other things. Each gift she opened she screamed and said "this is what I always wanted!" Henry wasn't as enthusiastic...he tore through his presents and then kept asking for more. The weather was great here on Christmas Eve and Christmas day so the kids were able to play outside. Hardly felt like December with weather in the 50's. We went to church foe the chritmas service on the 23rd. The kids stayed with us instead of going to the child care area. Vivian really liked the lighting of the candles and singing Silent Night.

Dan had some vacation time to burn up so he was home with us for a few days after Xmas. Grandma Jackie and Chloe came down to visit. The kids got plenty of new toys from family and Sanata. And no duplicates even with having Henry's Bday 2 weeks before Xmas!

Dan and I went out for New Year's Eve. Our friends Sarah and Sean had people over. The kids stayed home and Sydney (our old babysitter back from college) watched the kids. We had a nice time and this was the second year in a row that we've stayed up until midnight on New Year's Eve! Woohooo!

Henry had his eye exam on Dec 28th and he does need glasses for his right eye that keeps turning inward. We went to a few places and picked out his frames. We should get them later this week or next week. He will wear them for 2 weeks then he has to wear a patch under his glasses that cover his left eye for 4 hours a day for 3 months. We go back to the doctor at the end of March.

This week we are getting back into our groove. Both kids had their gymnastics class today...yes both kids. I signed Henry up for classes and his first class was today. He was so excited and he did great! He listened really well to his teacher. He had so much fun and was all smiles!! He looked like such a big boy in class...still hard to believe my baby is 3! Both kids have school tomorrow and mom is ready for a much needed break. Have a good week! I will post pictures tomorrow we are having some technical difficulties.
