We had a great Christmas. Santa did well and the kids were all very happy with their presents. Ethan even said he got more than he wanted! The boys got remote control jeeps, cars, wii games, movies, cars, motorcycles, and more jeeps. Liv got dolls, barbies, a doggy named Lumpy (not a real one unfortunately for Shawn), and girly stuff. I don't really care much for playing the Wii like my boys do, but we got the new Super Mario Brothers and I have become addicted. It has brought out a side of me that I don't think Shawn has ever seen. I never realized how competitive I am. Shawn and I stayed up playing way too late and our thumbs had blisters to prove in the morning.
It's fun having a girl. Liv got lots of girly pink stuff.
The boys have been talking for months about getting remote control FJ cruisers. I looked everywhere and couldn't find them. One Sunday afternoon I was cruising the web and found some from a random store. I couldn't help myself and I bought them right on the spot. I know, shopping on Sunday, but for all the effort I put into finding these jeeps I figured it was divine intervention :) Either way, the boys got what they wanted and were SOOO happy. Cole's even has a custom paint job.
We continue to add to the masses of matchbox cars. This is just a small sample of the collection we have. I really don't think there is a matchbox car out there that we don't have at this point. I find them all over my house, in the cupboards, in the tub, all over my kitchen, in the car, and everywhere else in between.
Every morning Liv sits on the counter while I get ready. We pretend a little and she puts make-up on, I do her hair, and we spray perfume. It is our morning girly routine. My mom got Liv this little set of pretend hair and beauty stuff. While I was getting ready on Sunday Liv came running in carring her curling iron and blow dryer. She climbed right up and new exactly what to do. She was so cute!
We have had a nice holiday weekend. We did lots of relaxing and eating.
