Happy New Year

What a fantastic holiday. All the grandparents came as did my sister and her family, we had good weather and great times.

The kids had a great year and loved playing with their 16-month-old cousin, Weston. Toria was like a little mother hen and Tomas a big-brother - he kept giving Weston cars so the two of them could race. They'd chase each other and laugh and giggle until one of them came crashing down on a car.
Of course, Santa was good to them. Tomas received a Slot Car race track set. Toria had asked Santa for a princess with a dress and batteries. She received the dancing (batteries needed!) Princess Genevieve from the 12 Dancing Barbies movie. Weston received the TMX Elmo - very funny.

Todd was a world-class chef and we had amazing food each night and as if that wasn't enough he also took to making gourmet breakfasts in the morning. Top notch husband. Here are the ways to eat turkey:
Dec. 25 - Traditional turkey
26th - hot turkey sandwich leftovers
27th - world-famous turkey salad (my sister claims that Todd's turkey salad is the only reason she came for Christmas this year)
28th - Thai spicy noodle soup made from the turkey broth (this may be the only reason that I eat turkey on the 25th is so that I get the yummy soup made from the broth)
29th - turkey is all gone so my parents took us out for supper. We had fish.

I'll try and post some pictures later but the kids are now awake and looking for breakfast.
