Christmas in July

Had I waited any longer to post about our Christmas, it just might have been Christmas in July. Lucky for me I have a sister that encourages me to update my blog and so it is finally being documented.

This year for Christmas we had some visitors, oh how we love to have visitors. This year is exactly the same as last year as far as our company (Dad, Mom and Michaelee) goes but the weather was so much better. Last year we had somewhere around 20 inches of snow and this year we had zero inches of snow. The weather was great but the company was amazing!

When we picked them up from the airport the twins weren't sure about the strangers and even cried a little or maybe I should say a lot.

They warmed up to Michaelee a lot faster than they did to my parents but maybe that is because Michaelee is a little person just like them. On the way home from the airport Mom gave them three cookies each and Dad told her to stop using his tactics to win their love and affection. My dad does love to give the kids whatever they want.

For example, we made a trip to Costco and Makaio grabbed at a big thing of cookies and which to Dad meant that he wanted them and so they ended up in the cart. The cookies were opened before we left the store and Makaio went at them in his usual manner. If there is chocolate to be found that kid can find it! The Cookie Monster personality quickly emerged and soon he was tearing apart the cookie, eating the chocolate and discarding the rest of it on the ground. When Dad noticed how much Makaio liked chocolate we made a trip to the junk food isle where a 5 pound tub of Hershey's Kisses was added to our growing mound of madness.

We were all spoiled during this trip, the boys especially, and don't know how we can ever repay you for your kindness. We had so much fun and hope that you come again soon!
