In-laws and out of towners:)

Time really does seem to fly right on by..... We've been busy with Christmas preparations and school junk and well just life. Isaac is off school until Jan. 4th and we have pet sitting just 2more days then off till the 4th also.
On Saturday we had our first Christmas at the in-laws house along with Chris's brother and family. That was fun. We haven't seen them since July 4th so it was good to see them again... The kids had a great time playing and opening gifts :-)

Today Chris and I got out to do our Christmas shopping(without kids) and both of us are soooo excited for Ari to open his gifts...
We are excited for all of them to open gifts but really super excited to have the little man open one of his... We made it to 5 different stores this afternoon and the 5th was to Meijers and it was just to see if they had what we were looking for.... We kept looking all over for an Elmo doll. A just plain not move, dance, laugh, talk Elmo. One he could take into bed... AND we found one at Meijer!! woo hoo!! GREAT BIG THANKS to the lady in the toy dept. who happened to see me looking all over and offered to help and found for us just what we had been looking all over for!!

Isabelle, Ari, Norah, Brooklyn and Isaac....

yay for shopping with no kids.
but I WISH I had known that's what you were looking for. We had a big one. just like you wanted. and my children wanted NOTHING to do with it because it DIDN'T sing, dance, do tricks.

Sure sure!

The lady said, well I think I have a little one over here. I focused on "little" but really it was a "normal" sized one and I can't wait to see his face......
We've had the one's that do all the stuff and they really only like it for a few weeks then.. The battery suckers just live on a shelf.

We were beginning to think they didn't even make them:)

It's hard to shop with them these days. There are only so many cousins who like the same things ;-)
