I can't believe Christmas has come and gone. We had an eventful week. My parents came back with the kids on Thurdsday the 2oth. The kids went to Houston to spend 4 days with Mimi/Papa Bob while I finished working (they were out of school, but I was not!)
Friday PM, we celebrated Christmas with a wonderful dinner and present opening. At 11:30p, after my dishwasher running for over and hour and never draining, we had flood #2. This time, the damage was significant as it took out most of the family room and the dining room, along with the pantry and some cabinet work. So, we spend 5 wonderful days with the company of 12 blowers and humidifiers!
My parents left on Sunday and we spent Christmas day with Nana and Papa. It was another wonderful day!
The "big" gift this year was a WII. After hunting for weeks for Nana and Papa, spending serveral days and many hours in line, I finally scored one. I can see what the hype is all about--it's definitely the coolest gaming system around! Davis got a pair of fireman boots that he has went to bed with almost every night and Lauren loved all her gifts not picking any one as her "favorite".
Can you guess what Mom got for Christmas? Yes, a new dishwasher!
The kids loved their gifts--Davis held each gift up like he won the gold medal. Lauren questioned the "Santa" claus wondering if he really was "real".
