We have been in and out for the past week and had some company too.   We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with Eric’s side of the family and enjoyed the food, fun and family.  The girls really enjoyed themselves and Hadley even got to see Santa’s “reindeer” naping outside Grandma and Papa’s house the morning of Christmas.  She was excited, to say the least.

We got home and unpacked and got settled in just in time for my mother, Michael, Dave, Chris and Diana to get here.  We enjoyed our time with them hanging out talking, eating, watching movies and playing games.  Hadley also went swimming at the hotel pool and sat in the hot tub.  She has developed a love for hot tubs.

Zoey Belle recieved a Johnny Jump Up for Christmas and has loved life ever since.  Not that she has ever not loved life, but this just seemed to push her over the edge.

The other evening, Zoey was showing signs of being tired and Eric was working on the computer.  I gave him a little heads up that she would need to be put to bed soon, and he finished up what he was working on.  He asked me to look at what he had done, so I went to see.  Shortly after, we both heard the squeeking of the Johnny Jump Up stop.  As we looked over, we saw that Zoey Belle had fallen asleep in it.  A few seconds later she jumped right up again, smiling, and started to jump again.  Then her head dropped down and she fell asleep again.  This pattern went on for about a minute (purely for my and Eric’s enjoyment) and we decided she really needed to sleep peacefully, so we put her to bed.  It was one of those moments where you wish you would have gotten out the video camera.

We had such a great time seeing most of our family, but we really do miss those we did not get to see.  I was going to try to put photos with this post, however, Eric has switched the keyboards on me, and all the little plug ins are different, and it has left me confused.  It will have to wait until later.  I will try to post again soon, and hopefully with some fun Christmas pictures.
