(P.S. I love that in this clip, Abby is playing with drums and Brooks has raided the recycling and is bringing an old milk carton out...) Christmas was a hoot this year.  Abby was the most excited I've ever seen her.  I took her to Target today and she started making a mental list for next year.  We were looking around for a new Mobigo game for her V-Tech System (she had birthday money) and she started listing all of the things that we need for next year- blue ornaments, a pre-lit tree, Santa Claus Ziploc bags, a Toy Story Three Lego set, and some pink forks.  Excellent list, Abby.  All things needed for next year. 
I like the holiday break because it gives me the opportunity to:  a. update this blog, b. watch The Hangover Two with Ray, c. avoid schoolwork for even longer than usual and d. take a break. Today was one of those days where the kids drove us bananas.  It was like they rotated whining.  No one could whine at the same time, it had to be a continual string of whine.  So, kicking back to type this out and to watch a movie that is ridiculous is a great way to end the day.  To end this post, I'm going to add a video and pictures of Christmas.  Enjoy!
