Cuckoo for....Money?

I'm not doing as great of a job keeping up on the blog this year. After I posted the last entry, I realized it had been the first one for the year. Now its been another week and I'm just getting around to this one. I don't know about all of you, but when you start a blog you envision writing something almost everyday because you feel like there is so much going on. Now that I have caught up with all the "get to know us" entries, I'm finding out that there isn't as much eventful things, or too many eventful things that take up my free time to post about them. Make sense?

So for Christmas I ended up using the camcorder to film Jasmin opening up all her presents. Since Michelle needed to assist her, we didn't have another person manning the digital camera. So unfortunately I don't plan to post 30+ mins of Jasmin opening her presents. But when the kid's came back from their biological father's house after the long Christmas Break, we had a few presents for them to open up here as well. Thankfully Santa only visits one household, so their presents came from great-grandparents, grandparents and parents. The kids were so excited to see their gifts and couldn't wait to open them. It had been almost 2 weeks since Christmas Day, so I'm sure they were happy to unwrap more gifts. Kaden and Camdon received money from their great-grandparents, and Halle got a beautiful dress. My parents gave them each a comfy warm pair of pajamas (that we've had to wash twice already in between them wearing them every night) and a toy. Kaden's toy was a Star Wars Transformer, Camdon got a Spiderman Mr. Potato Head, and Halle got a Barbie. We had them open Michelle's parents gift before they opened the ones from us. Honestly, I don't know how our windows stayed intact after the screams and squeals. Grandma gave them each 50 $1 bills. You would have thought they had won the lottery. Just take a look at the picture to see what I mean.



HAHA...it was classic! I think my eardrums stopped bleeding the next day! :)

I'll try to catch up with our New Year's posts and talk a little about our goals and resolutions we have challenged ourselves with.

Stay tuned...
