We survived!

Yes we have survived yet another whirlwind christmas this year. John's family came up to celebrate with us since he had to work this year. Hadley really got into the whole gift thing also. On christmas eve Abigail was doubting the truth of Santa abd was testing my limits sayung how she knew it was John and I because that is what the kids say. Well it took her forever to fall asleep on christmas eve..about 12:30 ish...but once she awoke(early I might add...quarter to 6)she believed! She says to me..I know Santa is real because I stayed up all night and you or dad slept the whole time:) She was also excited to see a piece of Santa's suit which got caught on the fireplace and ripped off and a couple of his sleigh bells(which she wrote and asked Santa to leave her). I really hope the magic of christmas stays with her just a wee bit longer. The girls recieved tons of toys, with Ab's favourite being her Nintendo DS(which she has yet to put down) and it looks like Hadley's is one of Ab's gifts...her polly pocket car thing..lol...

On boxing day we went up to Upper Canada village to see the lights. I cannot believe how many people were there..wow...Ab was a wee bit bored, and Hadley was pissed that she could not go on the horse wagon rides...and of course they would pass us every few minutes. We then ventured out to shop on the 27th. Man there was some good deals...like 50% off everything in some clothing stores. Ab and I went back on Sat., but I really could not look that much then either. I found a new store I really love..urban behaviour...and of course everything was on sale...I am kicking myself for not geting more..oh well.

I am now stricken with a horrible cold, and I feel like death has come over me. I barely slept at all last night. Tonight is New Year's and we will be heading over to my sister's place. I doubt we will be there that long, with me having a cold and John having to work for 6 the next morning...it also looks like there will be heavy snow so he will have to leave at like 4:30 in the morning. I am hoping to get the girls to nap later this afternoon so that they can be in somewhat of a good mood.

Ok that is all I have for now..I will try and load up some photos of the holiday's soon enough. Once I feel a bit better.
