Kaitlyn is our princess but she really turned into one when Mom got her a princess dress at the park. She looked beautiful and received many compliments. As for me, I slayed the dragon and earned a shield and sword. We really had a great time.

We have been relaxing this week after coming home and not doing much. We haven't even removed our Christmas decorations yet. That's OK though because Christmas is definitely our favorite holiday. Maybe we will just leave it all up until next year.

I guess that's about it. I think we have something planned for tomorrow early morning so that should be pretty exciting. We will definitely be getting pictures of it as well. Until then, have a good weekend.

Our Moms Grandma came to town from El Paso and we hung out with her quite a bit. Of course most of it revolved around eating but that was OK. Our dad made us some BBQ Tofu blocks for one of the meals but it wasn't very good. Better luck next time dad. The best part about people coming into town is when we get a chance to sing and dance for them. Our favorite thing right now is singing the "You put the lime in the coconut" song. Kaitlyn loves to yell "Call the Doctor!". It's really funny.

As our Dad mentioned the other day, We won the 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' DVD. We won when our Mom and Dad ordered a special pizza at Buca Di Beppo that they were offering. We went back the next day with our Grandma Michele to pickup the DVD and have another meal. It's always fun eating meals with the Grandparents.

We have a special weekend planned and we will definitely be putting pictures up soon. It's going to be fun. I hope you all can have a good of a weekend as we will be having.

We picked up the DVD last night and the kids were excited as expected.

On Christmas Eve the kids made Christmas cookies for Santa and then made sure to leave him a few for his troubles. We didn't forget the carrots for the reindeer. The kids were a bit put off though when I told them that Santa may let the reindeer in and they may poop on the carpet. Kaitlyn let out a "ewww stinky" and Rylan immediately wanted to take them off of the plate. They ended up leaving them and also leaving Mrs. Claus a cookie as well.

The kids of course woke up to a magical sight when they came down stairs. Grandma was there to greet them and that was just the start of the fun. They didn't seem to have any gifts that were disliked but Kaitlyn did get a scare when she opened Rylan's gift to her and found nothing in it. The gift in fact got caught in the tissue paper that was pulled out in a hurry. Rylan had a big surprise coming to him from Grandma when he opened his big gift which was a Bat Man cave toy. He was thrilled. Kaitlyn's most favorite gift was certainly the vanity that her Great Grandma sent. Santa wrapped up the morning by dropping off two toys of his own which was a new kitchen set and dishwasher.

I had made three types of banana bread for the morning so we calmed the morning down by eating together. It wasn't long before we headed back out to eat with both Grandma and Grandpa at Buca Di Beppo.

Christmas 2009 is over and I can't wait until next year to see the kid's face of pure enjoyment.

We have been decorating the house for our upcoming Christmas party. We have been making a bunch of crafts like wreaths, snowmen, snowflakes and other goodies.. We have a full line up of fun stuff to eat at the party that Mom and Dad are planning to make. It should be a yummy party just like our last two events.

Our neighbor friend that is in need of a kidney has gone into complete failure. We are now seeking hard for a donation. She does get to come home today after being in the hospital for a few days so that is really exciting. She is one of our favorite neighbors so we really want to hang out with her soon.

That is gonna wrap it up for the week. Have a good one.

We headed out to do a bit of shopping on Friday. We woke up really early to go to one of the stores. I got woken up and asked why we were awake. When our mom told us why, I responded with "I am going to be tired today" in a very funny tone. The day went great though and Kaitlyn and I didn't fuss one bit. Of course we crashed that night but the day went really well. The next day we made up for it though and had a couple of melt downs. That's just how it goes I guess.

We have been hanging out with our neighbors a lot lately. In fact we are going out to dinner tonight and then over to the Phoenix Children's Museum. Both places are said to be haunted so this is our official ghost hunting night. I don't think we will necessarily find any ghosts but I know we will have a good time.

Oh ya. Our Mom really put us in a festive mood the other morning when she made us Christmas themed bagels. Whole wheat bagels with green and red cream cheese. She really knows how to make the best goodies. Dad surprised us yesterday too with bringing home a few Christmas Disney coloring pages. He threw in a few other pages too and we focused on staying in the lines. I worked hard at it and just about completed an entire Transformers coloring page. I colored inside of the lines on a whole bunch of different sections. It was definitely something worth keeping.

That's gonna do it for this week. It's finally getting cold outside and for the first time we had to turn our heater on last night. It was a chilly one.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Thank you.

We are hosting Thanksgiving again this year so we have been planning for that. We are having most of your normal stuff but we always like to throw in a few new things to keep our events unique. I know our dad was really hoping to have fresh carrots from the garden but I don't think they are even close to being ready to harvest. That sure would have been fun.

We jumped the gun and put up our Christmas tree super early. We decided on a Disney themed tree this year so we have disney ornaments of all types. This is the first year where we did not need a gate around the tree so that is super exciting. The tree looks great. We can't wait to show it off.

Kaitlyn has been singing and dancing to her princess movies lately. She really likes it when we dance like a princess and prince together. She is getting really good at singing the songs as well. Anyone that came to the Halloween party knows that I am a great singer and dancer too.

Well we have more things to do in preparation for Thanksgiving and Kaitlyn still needs to relax and get better so that's gonna wrap it up. Have a great weekend everyone.
