The Holidays

So....

I am writing from my new laptop. Yes, my new laptop! While I hinted around that I wanted one for quite a while, I didn't think I would actually get one. I'm stoked, but we are having wireless connection issues. Both our laptops cannot be connected at the same time for some reason. Can anyone help???

Another amazing gift I received was this. The heart has two pearls enclosed, one for each girl. I absolutely love it.

The girls also made out like bandits and received so many gifts from us and their grandparents. They will be outfitted very well over the next six months or so. Beyond that, Bea got a train set that she loves and a tricycle that she is learning to use. For Olivia, I did what my mom used to do for me every year at Christmas. I put a stuffed bear in her bed that she woke up with in the morning.

And Josh. He got some stuff he wanted. His big gift is yet to come. It's just finding exactly the right dirt bike, and we are in no rush since it is winter right now. This summer we are planning a lot of trips with the girls where we can go wheeling and he will also be able to use a dirt bike (he got rid of the one he had when I got pregnant with Bea). Oh yeah, it is going to be busy around here with doing that and going to four weddings in 2007, but it's nice to be busy. And I am sure the girls are going to have a blast...as they get older it gets funner and easier.

I am a little sad that the holidays are coming to a close, but we have next year to look forward to, of course. We never got our holiday cards out (SORRY!) and the girls didn't visit Santa and get their pic taken (though I think it would have freaked them both out this year). We will have to plan better next year.

***One last note is that I only get/purchase about 4 CD's per year these days. Well, for Christmas, Josh got me the new JT. It does not disappoint. Sure, you may laugh that I like the poppy stuff, but I can't resist. And seriously, JT DOES NOT DISAPPOINT! (And neither does Beck - Yes, Mitchell, I will have it waiting for you here as well on Friday.)

Ok, here's the part you were probably waiting for. Some pics, but the good Nikon one's are yet to come:
