MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Hello everyone. This is my very first blog entry. I figured this would be a good way to keep in touch and keep everyone updated occasionally, since I haven't been able to work on the website (the way I want it anyway). So I will be posting things on here when I get a chance. Feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think or just to say HI.
Christmas was great. We were able to split up Christmas Eve and Christmas day pretty well for all of the celebrations and we still had to skip a couple get-togethers. Sure wish we could do it all, but we have to think of the kids first and it's overwhelming enough as it is for them, so we kept it as simple as possible. Which was nice for Mommy and Daddy too.
The girls love all of their presents and Ryan got a few soft cars/vehicles to chew on and he LOVES those! We left cookies & milk out for Santa and he also requested a pickle when we had breakfast with him, so we left him a pickle too. And then of course we left carrots out for Rudolph and the other reindeer.

Ryan turned 6 months old on HIS FIRST CHRISTMAS, so we did the traditional 1/2 (half) birthday celebration that we started when Natalie was just 6 months old. And this time we celebrated with a 1/2 cake too!

Goodbye for now.
