Welcome to 2009!

Hey everyone! Well, 2008 absolutely flew by! I had a great time with the kids this year, being at home with them is the best thing ever and I am always saying how lucky I am to be able to do it! We had a wonderful time over Christmas, my mom and sister flew out, as well as Tim's folks and brother Will. Our pals Carlos and Felicity gave us use of their house while they were away for the holidays so we were able to fit everyone in!

The theme for this Christmas was definately : Cook Jamie Oliver/Nigella/Gordon Ramsey Food. I am now referring to Christmas as " The Festival of Carbohydrates" because all of the weight I lost immediately came back on the moment a minced pie touched my lips!

The twins had a blast, tons of attention, loads of lovely presents and buckets of sugar made it all very special for them. I'm impressed with the gifts for them this year, nobody went over the top, most things are non-television/video game oriented and they seem to be very occupied with them so far! Now it's time for their birthday - I always feel sorry for kids born in Jan/Feb. the parents can't bring themselves to get TOO excited since Christmas has just passed! Enjoy some of the pics:

Fine, somehow I can't get the pics to go where I want them to so whatever.........
