We had a wonderful Christmas! In the morning the kids opened gifts and we all dug into our stockings. We didn't spend a lot this year, each kid got one $15 gift each then a few trinkets. Money has been tight and seems to be getting tighter, especially with Rick leaving the Army. However, we have decided to make it work, time together as a family is more important. Plus the girls are still so young that the boxes and bows seem to entertain them almost as much as the actual toys! :)
It was great getting to spend Christmas with the whole family and just hanging out (although I think all the adults would have liked to spend a little more time interacting and less time taking care of kids). However, as time goes on I am sure this will change, they will be more self-sufficient and we will get to play games together and talk.
Life is good.
Couple of challenges for the new year:
1. Taking pacy away from Tai-Tai
2. Scarlett learning to walk
3. More strict about brushing Tai's teeth every morning
4. Eating dinner together as a family at the actual dinner table!
Cheers!
