How to win over a 1yr old....

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! My parents decided to drive to CA to spend Thanksgiving week with us, which made the holiday so much more exciting! I love being around my parents and am so thankful for their sacrifice to come and see us. We hadn't seen them since June, so my mom (aka Ge/Coleen) had to win over the heart of Mya Coleen in a short amount of time. Well of course she knew just the way to any girls heart....FUDGE!!!!
Mya knows sign language for "more" and she energetically signed it after every bite of fudge Ge offered her. She was attached to her from that point on!




My mom wanted to have a pre Christmas celebration with us, since we would not be seeing them this year, so we spent hours shopping for gifts. My parents gift to Kenny & I was the purchase and grueling hours of installing gas fire logs. I love the finished product and Kenny & I have already enjoyed cuddling up next to the fire!!!
This picture was taken at 5:30 am! My mom wanted to let the kids open their gifts from them while they were here, so we wrapped them up in one big pile and left them in the middle of the living room floor. I swear my kids can sense when there are presents in the air! All of them were awake and in my bed by 5am, and since Ge and Grandad were still on KS time, I was sure they were already awake. I told the kids that there was a surprise down in the living room and they all bolted down the stairs. Unfortunately, this was the first morning my parents were actually still asleep. They were quickly awoken by 4 children bouncing up and down, eager to know what was in the big red pile.

What fun to celebrate Christmas morning in November. I could really get used to having 2 Christmas mornings! Thanks Grandad and Ge for the fun times. We Love You!!!
