Time to catch up!

OK, well, thanks to Lisa and Kathy, here I am updating my blog!! Too many things to post on what has happened since the summer, but here's a try (in a nutshell). Gabrielle is in her 2nd year at Mrs. Alexander's School (she's now a Penguin). Julia is at Christine's for daycare for one last year - then she's off to Preschool too.

So on to what's happening now. We have begun our Christmaspallooza (as Chris likes to call it). We cut down our tree again this year and the girls had a blast picking it out. Even more fun was watching both of them decorate the tree. It ended up being more work for me because every ornament went to the same place! But, I loved every minute of it. We have celebrated Christmas with the Chirco/Rogers clan. Then we'll celebrate with the Prisco's on Christmas, my mom and Gram the day after and the Woodward's sometime in January. The first session was a success! So awesome to have all the little ones running around - there were 8 this year and will be 9 next year!! We might need to start renting a hall if everyone keeps having babies (well, Lisa and I are officially out, but who knows with the others)! :)

The girls are so amped up this year - and Gabrielle is now into wanting everything she sees on a commercial that we don't have already. Julia just goes along for the ride with it all. I'm glad that they still really want their original Santa toys (pillow pets). Thankfully, with much work, I have been able to find both pillow pets for the girls. It wasn't easy!

They are very excited because we are going to "Mickey's party" (Disney On Ice - 100th Anniversary). They don't know it yet, but they'll also go to the Princess Disney on Ice with Bee! Lucky girls....I wish I could get out half as much as they do! :)

We hope everyone has a happy and healthy holiday. Maybe I'll update this before next Christmas! You might have to stay on me about it, though - Lisa! :)
