Well our family had a wonderful holiday!
The kids and I volunteered at St. Vincent sorting gifts and afterwards I treated them to lunch out and then several hours of fun at Jumpin’ Jack (a large inflatable playground).
Dave was able to take several days off, so we had plenty of family time! A large part of our family time was spent watching the original 3 Star Wars movies. And then Dave treated Ajax to the new movie- The Force Awakens. The kids are all about Star Wars these days. Noomi has also been watching them with us and loved Darth Vader. She said his cap was so pretty. And then in the middle of one of the movies when we were all snuggled on the couch she turned to me and said, mom, I like ponies. Do you like ponies? (on another occasion she suddenly stated, oh I love sparkles, do you love sparkles?_ what a little girl).
Christmas Eve we hosted dinner out our house which was wonderful. The kiddos enjoyed their holiday PJs and then slept in till almost 7:30 am. Grandma Dara and Grandpa Rod stayed the night so everyone got to open presents in the morning. After gifts we headed to my Grandpa Nader’s house and then to Theresa and Tim’s house for dinner. It was a long day and everyone had a great time.
Oh, on a side note Noomi couldn’t quite pronounce Christmas, so she was saying Smis-Mis. It was darn cute.
