Helloooo 2009!

First of all, I would like to say sorry for the tiny blogging break! Christmas kept me super busy. I finished all of my shopping last minute, so the last 3 days before Christmas I lived at the mall, Walmart and Target! Lol! 800 dollars later, with gifts bought for 16 people, I finally finished and I'm pretty sure all of our loved ones loved what we got them. Well, they BETTER!! :-)
The kids got spoiled rotten! I cannot fit another stinkin' toy in their room or another item of clothing in their closet.
I got some great gifts as well. A pair of beautiful platinum earrings, some clothes, a new curling iron for my hair, 3 gift cards, and a storybook my mom had made about my babies!
But my favorite gift of all this holiday season was not wrapped in pretty paper with bows and ribbons and stuffed under the tree. It's the love of my family, and each and every moment I get to spend with them! They're amazing! I'm just so blessed, and I definitely reflect on that this time of year!







Christmas Eve we spent the evening visiting with my family. We had a nice dinner and exchanged a few gifts. Christmas morning we woke up and opened our gifts, just the four of us. I loved seeing my kids light up and get excited. Dallas was a pro at opening the gifts! He loved it! Kaelynn wasn't as excited but it was still fun watching her. After we opened our gifts at home, we went by my mom's for breakfast and exchanged gifts there. And later that evening we spent time at my father in laws. We have so much family we were just soo busy squeezing them all in!

I am very excited for the new year. Definitely looking forward to a lot of things in the next few months. Hubby will be done with his schooling January 7th. He's been going for 5 years and I'm so proud that he has done it! All his hard work is going to pay off! My birthday is on the 9th. The big 21! Haha. Hubby might take me to Reno for the weekend since my mom volunteered to watch the babies, so we'll see! That would be really nice.
Our lease is up February 1st so I am starting to house hunt! Verrrry exciting! I normally hate moving, but this time I just can't wait. I want to get out of here so bad and finally have a HOME! Sometime this year I might start taking some college courses since Dallas will be all done with his school. That way he can stay home while I'm in class. But we'll see about that once we get other things situated, such as our move.

Anyways, I'm glad to be back bloggy friends! Now that the holiday rush has calmed, I will have more time for you all!

I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year!!!
