Giving Thanks

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.  I know we did.  We spent Thursday with the Kokorudas for an early dinner.  I had to run off to work right after.  Trying to stay awake after two full turkey day meals is always fun.

On Saturday we went to McPherson for Thanksgiving II.  All four great grandparents as well as a few great aunts and uncles were also there.  It was a pretty full house. Aunt Erica is almost starting to show a baby bump, Owen and Olivia still seem oblivious even though I know secretly they are super pumped to meet their new cousin this spring.

Of course Olivia had to take a nap right before we left for home, so she didn't sleep much in the car, opted for crying time on the road trip home.

Sunday night when we got home the twins played on their home field, it was good to be somewhere more familiar.  We put up the Christmas tree, which is what you do on T-day weekend.  They really like to just sit and stare at the lights on the tree.  They also like the train that runs around the bottom.  We got a solid ten minutes of quiet time while they watched the train go round and round.



Can't wait for Christmas.  I hope Santa doesn't bring coal like last year.  There are a few photos I didn't post, but you can look at them here.

Babysitter Needed

Sorry for the lack of posts this weekend.  We had a crazy weekend, but it did include family pictures!  Hopefully I'll get some to post here soon!

I could really use your assistance on finding us a new babysitter!  We have loved our two babysitters so far, but one went back to college and one is busy with nursing school and working.  The hard thing is, we don't provide a lot of hours, which is why a college student is great.  So, if you know anyone in Kansas City, looking for 4-8 hours per week of quality time with some adorable twins - let me know!  Ok, so they are adorable most of the time, but not all moments are happy moments, so keep that in mind! 

We can't wait for thanksgiving!
