Ahhh...

Today was nice :-) Other than an eye appointment I had, we stayed home and played new games and relaxed all day! This weekend we had two different Christmas gatherings... and I am exhausted! Which then makes me so very thankful that we didn't have to do anything important...

Tomorrow, on the other hand... we have cinnamon rolls to make! It's our Christmas tradition to make cinnamon rolls for all the people on Gabe's team at work. So my aim is to get really good sleep tonight, and work hard tomorrow.

Some fun stuff from the kiddos...

Kiera: "Thank you Jesus for this conversation!"
Melia: "Mommy, you need to send a note to every one in our whole family to tell them I don't like white cheese!" (she later rescinded this...after she spit it out and I made her eat the whole piece...then apparently it was good.)
Kiera: "I might poop on me!" (why she couldn't wipe herself)

Isaac also had several exciting new moves this weekend. First, he is recognizing what "No" means. Second, he is now able to maneuver to the sitting up position from his stomach. Third, he gives me high fives. :-) Totally fun! Oh, and he's saying mamamamama, which is AWESOME because both girls said daddaadad first. And he just feels sooo good. I am really trying to treasure this time with him...

Ah, a day in the life of the Smith's... ;) Hope your holiday season's going GREAT! First Christmas with 3! (When's it going to be 4? or 8? 20?) ;) <3

Hmm... Four. Or eight. But I really really don't think I have time to make it to twenty. Especially when we aren't having them back to back! But then again, throw a few twins in there... Wait. That just might stop any more babies in their tracks.

And Kimi- we don't even know how to thank you for the fantastic box of goodies. It was such a surprise and huge blessing. THANK YOU SSOOOO MUCH! Literally, tears in my eyes, missing you. We LOVE you, our dear dear friend. I wish my kids could know you. Kiera would pick up on your sarcasm so quickly. ;-) And by the way, when Gabe opened the card, it was so full of writing we jinxed each other with our "whoa!" You'd have loved it ;-) HUGS HUGS HUGS AND MORE HUGS. You are a blessing to us. Thank you!

I vote 8 ;) Or so.

You're very welcome. I'm so glad it got there and that you enjoyed it :) I wasn't sure about some of the stuff in there, but I was hoping you'd like it :)

I'm not sure what to think of this whole "Kiera would pick up on your sarcasm so quickly"...this sarcasm thing...it leaves me in a conundrum...*cough* But I would love to be around your kiddos, too. Oh, the challenges of living so far away...

And glad I could provide a jinx moment for you and the hubs. I love and miss you guys to the MOON and back ;) *hugs*

Anyway...hope you're having a lovely and blessed Christmas! <3
