Christmas time

Our caregiver, Lisa, hosted a Christmas party with a special arrival from Santa. Dawson was more interested in her thumb, Jarrett was pretty thrilled with his gift. Later, he turned to me with a mischievous grin saying "That's not really Santa!" I got a good laugh at that one. We've had a good month. It has slowed down a little and we are finally in a routine. We are looking forward to some family time during the Christmas break. We have no plans and like it that way. We'll take and enjoy each day as a family and try to slow down for a short time anyway. Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving

Well it has been a hectic but enjoyable November. We were able to spend some quality time with family (ie, let them take care of the kids for a while!) and see some good friends as well. It was a Thanksgiving full of thanks giving.

Jarrett was able to spend some quality time with Grandpa, helping with the leaves and playing "I'm going to get you!". I'm not sure who was more worn out at the end of the day, Jarrett or Grandpa?! Both kids were hugged and kissed enough for six months, making up for lost time with those far away. Mom and Dad had a chance to relax (a little) and hang out at the "Polish Hall" (a popular hole in the wall famous to Uxbridge) and even had a little late night China P.

Of course there is always the obligatory trip to Friendly's for my Reeses Pieces sundae, and then the family Uno get together (no outbursts this time!) I think I won! Even better.

It was a short two days home for Mom and Dawson and then we headed up to Cleveland to meet the newest member of the Moeller family! Dawson and Rebecca had a chance to meet and the Mom's had a chance to catch up (as best as you can when you have two infants!). It was a relaxing low key weekend for us (maybe not for Mark) and it was so nice to catch up with a good friend.

On to the happy, hectic, holiday season! Happy Holidays!
